This Father's Day, Immortalize Dad on Patch!

Tell your neighbors your dad's #1 right here

 

Looking for Father's Day gift ideas? Well here's a new one — how about giving dad some Internet fame?

You know he's the world's greatest, but until now spreading the word has been limited to how many people might see a coffee mug, a barbecue apron, maybe a t-shirt.

But this is the 21st century. Imagine his surprise Fathers Day morning (which is Sunday June 17, by the way) when you hand him a laptop, smartphone or tablet and show him the glowing article you've written about him on Patch.

Share your memories of fishing on the 'Hooch with Pop, playing catch after Little League or just say why you think he's the best dad there is. It's fun, free and easy to do too — just follow the instructions at this "Start a Blog" link and you'll be ready to start in no time. You can even add photos and videos.

And you can use your blog any time you like afterward to write about anything happening in your neighborhood. It really is a gift that keeps on giving.

So write up Smyrna-Vinings, and give us your favorite "dad stories." (Come on, everyone's got 'em.)

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.
