A Year Ago ... Snow!

Do you miss the January 2011 snowstorm? Check out our slideshow of last year's wintry weather. Then take our poll and let us know how you feel about the frozen stuff.

The storm dumped a half a foot or more of snow on the ground, closing schools for a week, disrupting some government services and leaving many of us in hibernation until the frozen stuff finally thawed.

Flash forward a year and the site is becoming what was intended from day one, a place for the community to come and share ideas, notices, discussion and opinions. I've added more Local Voices with a group of bloggers, and invite you to join in. In the first days…

Milton Honors Employees, Elected Officials Who've Served for Five Years

Just after the North Fulton city passed its 5-year anniversary, it took time to recognize longevity.

Milton turned 5 years old the other day, and the city honored those who have served as employees or elected officials since that time. The occasion was the Dec. 5 City Council meeting at City Hall. The "Mayor for the Day," 15-year-old Milton High student Max Moorman, helped honor the city's longest serving officials.
