The above Google image is designated "Anderson Skyline." Perhaps if one stands in a ditch, one can photograph the Anderson skyline? Tourists will then travel from Grassy and Powell to see the wonders...
Several readers have contacted us since the one-man police department of Anderson retired. According to reports, the mayor decided to rely on random Lauderdale County deputy patrolling for law enforcement. Crime has increased, and many citizens have fallen victim to what they're calling meth fueled thefts.
We're told the homes are too far apart to make a neighborhood watch successful. The sheriff's office says deputies are not allocated full time unless the town pays. Welcome to Dodge City?
We're going to publish a more in depth blog on crime in Anderson in a few weeks. If you've been the victim of a burglary or vandalism in Anderson, get in touch with us. Once all the reports of these shenanigans are in one place, perhaps the town government will be willing to cough up the funds to ensure the county patrols the area on a dedicated basis.
