If the proposed cities of Briarcliff and Lakeside had a baby, what would they name it?
It’s been one of the sticking points since the supporters of the proposed cities of Lakeside and Briarcliff announced they were working together on a new map. The cityhood maps need to be presented to the DeKalb legislative delegation by Nov. 15.
So what will this new city be called?
A new survey from LakesideYES offers a few suggestions
Have you considered …
LaVista, Georgia
Briarton, Georgia
LaVista Hills, Georgia
Briarlake, Georgia
Briar Vista, Georgia
You can also offer up your own suggestion.
For instance, state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver, D-Decatur, often refers to the proposed new city as “Briarpatch.”
