Rankin Square
A few people have been gathered in Rankin Square and on the sidewalk next to Rankin Square, where the local memorial to local soldiers who fought in the Civil War stands, with Confederate Battle Flags, and an American flag. I (Bobby) spoke with several and they said they were there to show support for their ancestors and to keep the local war monument intact. There were several children with their families, and they were playing in Rankin Square.
Three cars from the Macon County Sheriff Office was parked nearby on Stewart Street with about four deputies standing next to the cars. When I came by, they were speaking with one of the flag wavers who came across the street to speak with them.
Mayor Bob Scott was there, too. He was on the sidewalk conversing with an elderly couple and left around 8:20 pm or so.
The gathering looked peaceful for the twenty minutes or so I was there.

Also, you can listen to public safety radio traffic at the following locations. via Broadcastify, which is also available as an app for your mobile devices. Just be aware that these feeds are being run by a person associated with local government, so if their bosses tell them to pull the plug, the feeds will be gone.
Macon County Fire

Unfortunately, I have been unable to get the public safety feed back up so far.

PS --Of course, if the internet goes belly up, there will be no way (at this time, at least) for Macon Media to pass along the news until access to the internet is restored. In a year's time there will be an alternate communications path established within at least the downtown area that can be expanded.

Press Release
For Immediate Release

Macon County Emergency Services
Warren Cabe, Director
104 East Main Street
Franklin, NC 28734
As the time of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 is rapidly approaching and with the probability good for weather conditions favorable for viewing, residents can expect to see an increase in traffic on our roadways throughout the weekend and into next week. No significant changes to travel patterns or road closures to any of the major roadways outside of the municipal limits are planned, but travelers should allow some extra driving time due to any unexpected delays.
