About this time a year ago, I took the above photo at East Cobb Park while taking a break on a fantastic day.
It’s a signal that my favorite time of the year is just around the corner.
The autumnal equinox also means it’s fall break for school families in Cobb County, and a good time for all of us in the community to take a bit of a breather and enjoy our gorgeous surroundings! We are truly blessed with natural beauty that lasts year-round.
We’ve had a busy couple weeks here in East Cobb news-wise, and last week was no exception, with the Charlie Kirk vigil, among other headlines.
I’ll be honest—it was a contentious and trying week covering all of this, and I’m taking stock a little bit here as we start the week before digging into more news for you.
We do appreciate our readers, and I was delighted to get positive comments from readers who thanked us for this and other coverage of what goes on in East Cobb. It’s our passion and joy to do this, even when the headlines can be challenging.
We’ve become a go-to source for all kinds of news that offers more than a glimpse of what’s happening in East Cobb—they reveal quite a bit about what makes this community tick.
