Thomas Dickerson wasn’t raised in the automotive industry, though he always had an interest in building, whether it was with Lego bricks or his grandfather’s Lionel trains. It wasn’t long before he discovered his passion for automobiles.

A “No Thru Trucks” sign is attached to this county limits sign on Parkview Road, indicating that large trucks are not allowed to drive there. Similar signs will be posted on roads impacted by the new ordinance, passed by the Oglethorpe County Board of Commissioners on May 5. (Photo/Zach Leggio)
