Walhalla proposes naming Street after Bailes

Provided the Walhalla Planning Commission agrees, the name of a city street will be changed to honor a couple synonymous with public service. At their meeting last night, the Walhalla City Council approved a request to rename Chestnut Street to Bailes Street, in order to recognize Lamar and Rosemary Bailes. Mr. Bailes is a former mayor and a former long-time city councilman and Mrs. Bailes is a retired teacher and former Board Trustee for the School District of Oconee County.
