(Lake City, TN) A small town in Tennessee has taken the first step toward changing its name to Rocky Top.

The town is Lake City in East Tennessee.

People in the town say if the name change goes through, they will build many attractions including a 500-seat paddle boat restaurant on an artificial lake.

The mayor of the small town is not too optimistic because a Gatlinburg company already owns the rights to many Rocky Top trademarks.
