I've spent quite a few tours in the Oldest continuous use firehouse in the state. The pole was removed in the mid 20th Century. The wooden stairs leading from the ground floor bays to the 2nd floor Quarters are narrow and steep and noisy. Just wal...

- Bill,
Good to hear from you. I don't think I have seen too many farms left out in Okolona, their district is just about as crowded as ours probably both about 100,000 people, give or take a few. I haven't yet made it to Millersburg. I've been close (Paris). In fact I applied there the first year Fomas was chief however I haven't applied since. I work now fulltime for Jefferson County Sheriff as a Telecom for their Office as well as surrounding agencies in Jefferson County. Take care,
Greg B
