It’s been a while since we updated the links on the East Cobb News Community Guide that launched with this website nearly nine years ago.
We’ve been doing some spring cleaning, and it’s been long overdue.
We had quite a few outdated links—Cobb County government changed its domain from .org to .gov recently—but a lot of schools, churches and community organizations have revised their websites as well. Office-holders change, and entities come and go or move.
So what you see below is a major refresh to our listings, and like homeowners cleaning out the garage, we scratched our head as we went along, muttering, “Why didn’t we do this sooner?”
This guide is an important part of our mission at East Cobb News, which is three-fold. In addition to giving you timely and relevant local news and offering local businesses dynamic digital advertising solutions, we also want to be the go-to source for community-building in East Cobb.
We’ll use this information and more for new content products coming soon, including an occasional online magazine.
More details about that later, but for now, we’d like to ask for the public’s help. As you look through these categories, click the links to topics that interest you.
Once you do, you’ll see detailed links related to that topic; let us know if there are broken or outdated links that we need to fix.
If there’s anything you don’t see here that we should include, also give us a holler. We want to expand this guide and make it useful for anyone who comes here, to make it a vital gateway to finding out all about all things East Cobb.
