Well, the more I think about it, the more I think I should at least make some effort to start getting in shape to try the half marathon on Nov. 5th. We’ll see how that works out. (A big drawback…
Georgia has had more bank failures than any other state during this economic downturn, and we’re leading the rest of the country for 2011. The FDIC has closed five banks tonight, two in Georgia: The Park Avenue Bank of Valdosta…
During the recent Georgia legislative session, I made a number of posts about the proposed bill to allow local municipalities to hold referendums on Sunday package sales of beer, wine, and liquor. Just a quick note here to say that…
