About this episode
This episode explores the history of Sunnyside, from its beginnings as a school to its current role as a community center in Pine Mountain.
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.
