Santa makes his final two stops by Aunt Fanny’s Cabin tonight and Thursday from 6 – 8 both evenings. Admission is free. Aunt Fanny’s Cabin is located on Atlanta Road across the street from the Market Village in downtown Smyrna.

And by ’s facebook posting today – “HoHoHo! Guess who will be here from 4-6 pm?!’’ sounds like the jolly fella in the red suit is going to be making an appearance off the East-West Connector, too.

And nearby in Marietta, playing at at 8 p.m. is the classic 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life. As George Bailey, a compassionate but despairingly frustrated small-town man contemplates suicide one fateful Christmas Eve, his guardian angel intercedes and shows him what life would have been like for the residents of Bedford Falls had he never lived. Admission is $8 for adults and $7 for children, students and seniors. - Donna Espy-Rypel

Are these the apartments that were once called "Garrison Plantation"?

This is Garrison Plantation - Garrison Lakes - Lakefront Vista. I lived there when it was familyRead More owned. It went from sister to brother then sold. Changed name from Garrison Plantation (because it wasn't PC) (but no one thought about what a garrison was) to Garrison Lakes (there's only one lake) to Lakefront Vista (under new ownership.) It's a dump now. The layout and size of the apts. are great. Even the location is great. Still know some people there. But it went downhill.

I'd rather answer the question "How do you feel about Roswell Street Baptist Church?" MyRead More answer: can't stand it. This incident is just another in its long and bigoted history. During the anti gay lifestyle debacle it gave out copies of the 10 Commandments. That anti gay resolution drafted by Gordon Wysong and enacted by the Cobb Co. Commissioners cost the county an Olympic venue. Whenever I hear about that church I think of the OM who called the church's prominent members The Marietta Mafia!

Its sad, that young people who are gay and often struggle to accept themselves as they are, faceRead More such fury and rejection by a church that preaches love, compassion and forgiveness for most but not all. No wonder many young people, the vast majority of whom are or will be heterosexual find the church increasingly irrelevant in their lives with attitudes like this.
