God Bless Sunnyside

Step back in time with me at Sunnyside.

In this episode of Pine Mountain, Then and Now, we’re exploring the story of how Sunnyside began as a school and, over the years, grew into the Sunnyside Community Center — and why it still matters to Pine Mountain today. I sat down with Lou Brackett, and she helped bring the history to life with the kind of details you don’t find in a textbook. If you’ve ever wondered what Sunnyside really is, this episode will make you appreciate it even more.

It’s funny, sweet, and 100% Pine Mountain—proof that sometimes the best local characters have four legs and run the place.
