SWEETWATER-It was once one of the most
scenic properties in Sweetwater.

deteriorating.
"Trees are all over the road," said

Some fear the uncut grass could become
a fire hazard and city officials wonder if a fire truck could even
make it through the trees and brush to the buildings should one catch
on fire. See full story in the Wednesday, August 15, edition of The Advocate & Democrat.
