I wish that the City of Rock Hill would rename Dave Lyle Blvd after Mr Brooks. Watching the Emmett Scott High School Band back in the day was the motivation for my drumming interest. Thank You Mr Brooks. I'll always remember you and I'm a grateful man for having the honor of being taught by you!

Hidden Treasure They…read morehave been able to transform a transmission area into a series of parks and gardens in what would have been otherwise dead land. Great planning and I applaud. You end up with community gardens, childrens play area, nice quiet area to sit and reflect and a very nice dog park. Lexi (Welsh Corgi) and I went to explore today Took a bit of hunting plus a GPS to find the park but well worth it. Ample parking, nice double gate to get in, tennis balls for our furry friends, picknic tables and sitting areas for the humans and a big water dish. Unfortunately it had just stopped raining when we got her so there were no dogs for Lexi to play with. Nice facility otherwise. Strongly suggest as a different place to bring your friendly canine
