DAR cleans, repaints historical marker in Cross Roads

IMG_0169

The Sarah Maples Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution are always looking for some project that they can do that will benefit their community. One of the projects this year is restoring, cleaning and painting if it needs it, historical markers. The Historical Commission has provided a list of all the markers in Henderson County. The first one chosen was in the Cross Roads area called Science Hill. Bunnie Freeman brought her husband Ron and son Luke to help. They all live nearby. The marker was in bad shape and could hardly be read it was so faded. It was cleaned and repainted and the end results surprised us all at how well it looked. The before (below) and after pictures show a great difference. Pictured are, from left, Bunnie Freeman, Cathy Cryer, Regent sitting Susan Cothran, Priscilla Berry, Suzanne Fife, and Nina Hendricks.

McDonald’s set to build new store in Malakoff

MBy Michael V. Hannigan

The McDonald’s in Malakoff is going to get an upgrade — a big one.

Kevin and Jeaneane Lilly, owners of the Malakoff McDonald’s, said this week the operation would be moving from its present location as part of the Exxon station on State Highway 31 to a stand alone restaurant on the opposite corner, across State Highway 198.

The work will begin in early September and the new store should be open by Christmas. In the meantime, the current restaurant will continue to operate until about a week or two before the new store opens. Continue reading “McDonald’s set to build new store in Malakoff”
