Westlake name will become a thing of the past Mayor Pam Hoots said the City Council voted to enter into the lengthy process to officially change the name of Westlake Drive to something new at a future date. The street name 'Westlake' conjures of memories of the old Hospital and the debt taxpayers have had to carry to take care of it. Thankfully, the hospital tax will be ending in a couple of years and it may be good to put the street name to bed along with it. 2024-02-08 08:52:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Government Birthdays and Anniversaries for February 8 Happy Anniversary, George & (In Memory, Bobbie Sizemore Keltner 1935-2012) (1959) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Arnold Todd Corbin (1969) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Cody James Claywell (1983) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Corey Alan Stephens (1979) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dwayne Evans (1980) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hannah Perkins (2005) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Howard Dickson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jason Upchurch (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeremy Sneed | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kasey Bardin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lillian Faith VanArsdale.
