Park Bench Neighborhood Pub Fundraiser Northeast Cobb's Atlanta Metro Singles is hosting a very special singles event, and hopes that you will join the fun. If you listen to Q100 and/or The Bert Show in the morning, they have been talking about this local family, The Stark Family. The family was also featured on HLN and CNN. This selfless couple had adopted and raised six "special-needs" children to take care of as their own for over 20 years. Not having much themselves (broken down van, no electricity in the main bedroom, and the husband lost his job over a year and a half ago), the couple still poured their hearts out to their children always putting them first. A month or so ago, the husband and wife decided to take a weekend …

Surprising facts about this dating website that is advertised by roadside signs across Northeast and East Cobb.
If you've driven through Northeast Cobb you've likely noticed the 'Single? singleeastcobb.com' signs stuck in the ground at major intersections. I decided during last night's thunderstorm to check out the website. Who knows? Maybe Mr. Right does live locally. The website is a simple form. "The Dating Solution.....for busy professionals!" is the only information given about the site's mission. The form requires a telephone number, income level, and other personal information that I do not share until I know who I'm dealing with. I fibbed on that information. I submitted the form. The next screen shows a picture of two attractive women, twins, Leisha Murphy and Lisa Lyngos, with a short paragraph telling me that they will call me to verify …

FYI on this for-profit company - plastering the public right-of-way with signage is HIGHLY illegal, subject to fines of up to $1,000 per sign. Just wondering who would want to do business with ANYONE willing to operate while knowingly breaking the law. See truckloadbunch.org - stay away from these people! more ›
