Poll: Are You For or Against Sunday Packaged Alcohol Sales?

On Nov. 8, Smyrna voters will decide whether to allow retailers to sell alcohol on Sundays. The law would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2012 if the measure passes.

GROW UP!! Adults are able to choose what they want to participate in on Sundays!
This BLUE LAW reminds everyone that the NEW SOUTH is still VERY OLD in too (negative) many ways! Ever notice the "mad rush" on Friday nights and Saturdays in the departments where beer and/ or alcohol are sold?

This is the biggest, most emotional non-issue imagineable. Those who want to drink alcoholic beverages on Sunday certainly can have it available. Those who don't care to drink, are not required to do so.

Wow, k swiss. The results show 92% in favor of this. So why are you yelling for people to grow up?

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

Lissa K. June 15, 2013 at 09:32 pm

This is Garrison Plantation - Garrison Lakes - Lakefront Vista. I lived there when it was family…Read 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.

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!

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.
