A bit of manual labor and a long pole are required to change the black letters on the tall, old-fashioned business sign in front of Mick’s Barber Shop on Canton Road. The current message promotes new manicure and pedicure services. Owner Autumn Freer says past messages have been “Closed mouth gathers no foot” and “We don’t buy gold.” The street side humor reaches back in history when barber shops were a place for men to come in, share jokes, and talk. Freer said lifestyles in 2012 allow limited barber shop time. Customers commit to everyday hustle and bustle and a full parking lot may make a prospective ‘walk-in’ keep driving, however, there still are moments when men, waiting for their turns in a barber’s chair, share perspectives on …

The Lassiter Trojans didn't run away with their Region 5-AAAAAA-clinching win over Roswell on Friday. But they maintained their undefeated season and No. 2 Class AAAAAA ranking with a 28-14 win on Senior Night. Lassiter will be the top seed from the region when the playoffs begin in two weeks, and Walton, which defeated Etowah 20-14, is the second seed. The other two spots have yet to be determined. Wheeler improved to 5-4 and 2-4 in region play with a 31-9 win over Woodstock on Friday, keeping alive post-season chances with a week left in the regular season. But in order for the Wildcats to seal the final region playoff spot, they'll need to do more than defeat Cherokee next week. Etowah (4-5, 3-3), which beat Wheeler, must lose to …

This experienced East Cobb landscape design firm provides services to homeowners wanting to cultivate remarkable yards.
Outdoor work is first nature to Chattahoochee Home and Garden owner/operator Hardy J. Kaplan. At an early age, he greened his thumbs and earned allowance by heading petunias for his horticulturalist mother. His first ‘real’ job was at the landscape company that he now owns. The design, consult and installation firm is located in an industrial park off of Shallowford Road near Sandy Plains Road. Kaplan believes that service and good work are what grow a business. Current economic drought has operations trimmed to one part-time office assistant and one installation crew. Kaplan goes on all the appointments and is hands-on when it’s time to plant a space that he’s designed. “When people call Chattahoochee, they’re calling for me,” Kaplan …

Wendy I did not run against Tim Lee in 2010, I believe it was Larry Savage. I ran in 2004. Tim Lee did win the Republican primary in a run off with the aid of the MDJ preferring Bill Byrne in the primary but not in the runoff. Lee spent $450,000 double the usual amount because it was a negative campaign against Bill Byrne to drive voter turnout low, 29,000. Lee only garnered 15,000 votes to Byrne… more ›
