Senator Carter Files 'City of Lavista Hills' Bill

"Decatur state Sen. Jason Carter filed a bill in the legislature Thursday that would set up a proposed City of Lavista Hills.

The 45-page "placeholder" bill lays out the city's structure in detail except for its boundaries. (A small part of the proposed city would need to be part of Carter's district, however.)

Much of the bill seems to mirror another "placeholder" cityhood bill filed by Dunwoody state Sen. Fran Millar on behalf of the Lakeside City Alliance last month.

It is not clear how Carter's bill would conflict or coordinate with other cityhood bills in the area, including one from Decatur state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver.

More to come..."

It's still better than a Lakeside where there is no lake to be beside.

I always thought the name referred to Echo Lake off of Briarcliff. It's so insignificant, but there's no other body of water nearby...

In all fairness a lot of our other places were probably just made up by real estate developers. Are there actually some hills where the druids or the tocos live? Any cliffs where the briars are especially prickly? Where is the East lake or the Claire lake?

East Lake is located right behind the clubhouse. Druid Hills is indeed quite hilly; at least it was when I grew up there. Briarcliff is the name of one of the Candler estates in Druid Hills. Toco Hill is simply the name of a shopping center; how it ever acquired status beyond that is past my understanding.
