STORY 1: Three Roses Tavern Opens in Historic Canton Restaurant Space
Three Roses Tavern has opened in downtown Canton, offering a "new American" menu that reflects diverse U.S. cultures. Owned by Salem Makhlouf and Georganne Rose, who also run Local on North, the tavern features a gastropub atmosphere with a menu including steak, burgers, seafood, and more. The venue, formerly R&M Hoagie Shoppe, underwent extensive renovations after closing due to the pandemic. It now boasts two floors with bars, TVs, and historic decor. The tavern aims to elevate Canton's culinary scene and is open daily, with brunch on weekends and outdoor seating planned for summer.
STORY 2: Eagle Sculpture in Ball Ground Pays Tribute to Veterans
Visitors to the Ball Ground Veterans Memorial can now admire a bald eagle sculpture by local artist Andy Fowler, commissioned to honor veterans. Completed for Veterans Day, the sculpture reflects Fowler's family military history, with his father and grandfather having served. The city, valuing local talent, paid $14,000 for the piece using local business donations. Made from clay, syntactic dough, and epoxy fiberglass, the 28-inch sculpture with a five-foot wingspan mimics bronze through electroplating. Fowler, with extensive film industry experience, plans to create a barley sculpture for next year's Veterans Day.
STORY 3: Reinhardt AD Jeffrey Pourchier Resigns
Reinhardt Executive Director of Athletics, Jeffrey Pourchier, has resigned to become the Athletic Director for Development at New College of Florida. Pourchier, who joined Reinhardt in 2007 as the men's basketball coach, served as Athletic Director since 2021. His tenure saw Reinhardt win multiple NAIA National Championships and AAC titles, earning him the 2024 AAC Athletic Director of the Year. Pourchier expressed gratitude for his 18 years at Reinhardt, highlighting the relationships and successes achieved. Under his leadership, the baseball team made a historic run to the NAIA World Series semifinals, finishing third overall.

STORY 4: A white Christmas in Georgia? Snow chances in Atlanta next week?
Are there chances for snow in North Georgia this holiday season? Atlanta's Christmas forecast suggests sub-freezing temperatures in north Georgia leading up to the holiday, but dry conditions are expected to persist through Christmas Eve and Day, making a "white Christmas" unlikely. The last significant Christmas snowfall in Georgia was in 2010, with 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta and up to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains. This was the first measurable Christmas Day snow since 1881, and many Georgians continue to hope for a snowy holiday season.
STORY 5: 4M expected to pass through Atlanta airport during Christmas/NYE holiday period
If you are traveling this holiday season, be prepared for delays. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport anticipates around 4 million passengers during the Christmas holiday period, with the busiest day expected on December 27, seeing over 327,000 travelers. Nationwide, the TSA plans to screen 40 million passengers by January 2. Travelers are advised to check ATL.com for parking updates and monitor real-time wait times at the airport. TSA Administrator David Pekoske warns of potential longer wait times at security checkpoints if a federal government shutdown occurs.
