Happy Times in Smyrna-Vinings

It was a lovely Saturday and we documented it here in our Local Viewfinder.

It was a beautiful Saturday in our Smyrna-Vinings Patch. From the polo fields in Vinings to Rev Coffee's Fall Fest to the Russell Elementary 50th birthday party celebration, there were good times to be had.

Take a look at our Local Viewfinder shots and if you feel so inclined, please contribute your own weekend pics of fun. Many thanks to Linda Hornik for the great shots she provided of the Russell Elementary celebration.  

You can see here all of Linda’s pictures from Saturday and we’ll have more on the big day at Russell later this Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for the great Pics! Nothing better than spending a beautiful Saturday afternoon out in the community with great food & music.

Thanks for sharing S.M. It's this kind of community support that our schools need. I don't have elementary school children. So many times I don't hear about their events until after they're over. I'm sure there are many in our community that feel the same way. But then maybe I need to be a little more pro-active and search for events at our local schools. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Patch made several mentions last week of Brown Elementary's Fall Festival. Several tweets, too. We would love to post pictures if someone would like to submit. Would love it if we could get more user submissions from all kinds of events around Smyrna-Vinings, such as the picture the Nickajack Elementary School Foundation provided us of their Fall Festival last week.

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.
