STORY 1:     Zoinks! — Scooby Doo Exhibit Set To Open At Children's Museum of Atlanta 

The Children’s Museum of Atlanta is hosting the “SCOOBY-DOO!™ Mansion Mayhem” exhibit from May 17 to September 7. Families can join Scooby-Doo and the gang to solve a mystery in a spooky mansion, exploring interactive rooms like the Hall of Portraits, Villain’s Workshop, and library music room. Created by the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Warner Bros., the exhibit combines nostalgia for adults with fun, hands-on activities for kids. Executive Director Edwin Link calls it the perfect summer activity, blending entertainment and curiosity for all ages. Don’t miss this chance to unmask the jewel thief with Mystery Inc.! 

STORY 2:4.1 magnitude earthquake in Tennessee felt in Gwinnett County 

A 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck near the Tennessee-North Carolina border on Saturday at 9:04 a.m., with tremors felt in Gwinnett County, metro Atlanta, and western North Carolina. Centered 12 miles southeast of Greenback, Tennessee, near Nantahala National Forest, the quake caused houses to shake and windows to rattle, sparking social media buzz. Eastern Tennessee is one of the Southeast's most active earthquake zones, according to the USGS. 

 

STORY 3: Duluth's Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church Celebrating 40th Anniversary With Free Concert 

Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church in Duluth is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a free outdoor concert on Saturday, May 17, at 7 p.m. The event, featuring PHPC’s Chancel Choir and guest musicians, will showcase audience favorites from past performances under the theme “The Best of Cabaret and Chastain at PHPC Over the Years.” Guests are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, and picnics, with light refreshments provided. While admission is free, donations to support the choir fund are welcome. The church is located at 3700 Pleasant Hill Road, and all are invited to enjoy an evening of music and community.

STORY 4:Dexter Wood's Impact at Buford Brings Gwinnett Sports Hall of Fame Honor 

Dexter Wood, a cornerstone of Buford High School athletics, is being inducted into the Gwinnett County Sports Hall of Fame on May 19. Wood, who joined Buford in 1995, transformed its football program as head coach, achieving a 118-17 record, three consecutive state titles (2001-2003), and a state-record 47-game winning streak. As athletic director, he expanded the school’s sports offerings, fostering statewide competitiveness across programs. Already a member of multiple halls of fame, Wood calls this honor one of his career highlights, cherishing the chance to join elite peers. Now a senior athletics advisor, Wood continues to inspire, saying he still wakes up excited to support Buford’s athletes and coaches. 

STORY 5:Kemp signs $37.7 billion state budget 

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a $37.7 billion fiscal 2026 state budget, prioritizing education, school safety, and prisons. The budget fully funds the K-12 Quality Basic Education formula with $300 million, allocates $108.9 million for school safety improvements, and $47.9 million for student mental health programs, following a tragic school shooting last year. It also includes $141 million for a new private-school vouchers program. To address prison system issues, $200 million will go toward hiring and raising salaries for correctional officers. Additionally, $1 billion is set for transportation and building projects, using a pay-as-you-go approach to save taxpayers $150 million annually. The budget takes effect July 1.
