Marietta Considers Downtown Branded Banners

The Marietta City Council advanced a proposal to install branded light post banners in Marietta Square. The council unanimously voted to place the proposal from Visit Marietta on the consent agenda for Wednesday night's meeting.

Brittney Gray, Visit Marietta's executive director, presented the idea following the organization’s recent rebrand—its first in six years, designed to adapt to post-pandemic tourism. The new look includes a refreshed website and billboards across metro Atlanta.

The banners, featuring the tagline "Meet me on the Square," aim to build local pride and boost tourism awareness. Mayor Steve Tumlin noted the square-shaped banners would reflect Marietta Square's layout.

Seventeen potential locations have been identified for the banners, which will be navy blue, purple, and orange. The council will decide on their placement and duration, with Visit Marietta covering all expenses. Gray hopes the campaign will extend through January and include future co-branding opportunities with local events.

STORY 1:Mount Paran Moves Game to Thursday

Mount Paran Christian, coming off two wins, is gearing up for a matchup against Cherokee Christian, moved to today at 7:30 p.m. due to Hurricane Francine's potential impact. Head coach Matt Ely is pleased with the team's progress, emphasizing weekly improvement and efficient practice despite new rules limiting scrimmages. Senior quarterback Andrew Overton, who won the CFF Player of the Week Award for his performance against St. Francis, is highlighted for his leadership and athleticism. Ely praises Cherokee Christian for their discipline and coaching and is focusing on building on his team’s strengths and handling similar defensive schemes to previous opponents.

STORY 2:Phony Threats Disrupting Cobb Schools, District Says

Since last week’s tragic high school shooting in Barrow County, Cobb County School District has received over 50 fake threats. The district confirms that each threat has been thoroughly investigated and proven non-credible. A student from Dickerson Middle School faces criminal charges for making threats, although they are not considered a danger to the school. The district’s swift response is praised by Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, who highlights the problem's growth due to social media. For safety information, visit the Cobb Schools website.

STORY 3:Proposed 20-Story Development Hopes to be a Health Hub in Smyrna

A new 20-story, mixed-use development called South Spring is proposed by Roswell-based Rass Associates for 8.7 acres near Truist Park. The project includes 650 residential units, two commercial buildings with 175,000 square feet of space, a 10-12 story office building with 200,000 square feet of space, and 250 hotel rooms. It aims to focus on health and wellness, integrating medical and lifestyle services. The plan aligns with Smyrna’s long-term development goals and is expected to undergo review by the Atlanta Regional Commission, with city consideration anticipated in early 2025.

On the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, east Cobb resident Gayle Lorio and dozens of volunteers gathered at Marietta National Cemetery to clean headstones and honor fallen veterans. With over 17,000 buried there from all U.S. wars since the Civil War, the volunteers, organized by Carry The Load and including employees from companies like Panasonic Automotive and AT&T, aimed to pay tribute and maintain the gravesites. “It’s a day of memory,” said Navy veteran Alex Smith, highlighting the significance of honoring those who sacrificed their lives.

STORY 5:Marietta Considers Downtown Branded Banners

The Marietta City Council has advanced a proposal for new branded light post banners in Marietta Square. Proposed by Brittney Gray of Visit Marietta, the banners will feature the organization's new logo, website, and tagline, “Meet me on the Square.” The rebrand aims to enhance local pride, tourism awareness, and visual cohesion. The banners, in navy blue, purple, and orange, are designed to reflect the square’s aesthetics and will be installed on 17 light poles around the Square. All costs will be covered by Visit Marietta, with the banners up through January.

At a Cobb County Elections Board meeting in Marietta, proceedings were halted after an audience member shouted “Heil Hitler” twice.

At a Cobb County Elections Board meeting in Marietta, proceedings were halted after an audience member shouted “Heil Hitler” twice. Board member Jennifer Mosbacher, a Jewish woman, strongly condemned the hate speech, referring to the historical context of Leo Frank's lynching. The outburst followed a public comment from Hugh Norris, who criticized Mosbacher for not standing during the Pledge of Allegiance, suggesting she might be a Communist. The board voted to adjourn after failing to identify the individual responsible for the outburst. Board Chair Tori Silas and Mosbacher emphasized that hate speech would not be tolerated, while some members expressed concerns about handling the disruptive situation. The board plans to address agenda items at a future meeting.
