Howdy! This is "Actual Factual Cobb," and thus is much better than the rest of the Internet. In this column series, I — Ben Brasch — will keep rootin' for answers and tootin' news about Cobb County from questions you ask until the esteemed AJC fires me upon realizing how much of the newsroom's coffee budget is expended on me.

Reader Laura asks: "When are they going to build the rest of Noonday Creek Trail north to Cherokee County?"

Pssssst: If you like this, check out my first Actual Factual Cobb about how the cities got their crazy names
