Steps are being taken by towns along U.S. Highway 80 east of Dallas to Vicksburg, MS, to Chattanooga to secure the designation Broadway of America.

Shortly before dark April 21, an unusually severe hail storm visited some sections of the county. The fall was worse at Pleasant Hill than Crossville and after 15 minutes the highway was completely covered. Motorists coming up the mountain from Sparta next morning said piles of hail were still on the mountain in many places.

April 1993
