She explains how the city is planning to serve as a hub of information, while the eclipse itself will pass between Goat Creek Road and the city. This is an event that only happens once in a lifetime and one that should be marked on everyone's calendar. During the podcast, Leslie provides some advice on what to do in preparation and encourages listeners to let him know if they decide to view the eclipse.

During totality, you don't you can take them off to experience and then obviously when totality ends, and it starts leaving, you'll need to put those glasses back on.
