Cheeseburger slider restaurant opens in Acworth

A new cheeseburger slider restaurant opened its doors in Acworth Wednesday. Smalls Sliders opened its new location located at 3240 North Cobb Parkway. It is the slider restaurant’s third location in Georgia and second in Cobb County, following the one in Marietta located at 2355 Windy Hill Road. Smalls serves fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders along with waffle fries, shakes, queso dip and its house sauce. It offers walk-up ordering windows and drive-thru service rather than a traditional indoor area. The restaurant has a distinct modular design built from orange shipping containers. “We’ve seen firsthand the enthusiasm that Smalls Sliders brings to the communities it serves, and we’re proud to continue growing the brand’s presence in Georgia,” franchisee Rocky Moore said. “Building on the momentum of our Marietta location, we see tremendous opportunity to introduce even more guests to the Smalls experience. "We look forward to becoming part of the Acworth community, creating local jobs and serving up the fresh, cooked-to-order sliders that have made this brand a fan favorite.”

New ‘Heart of Rome’ mural celebrates community, inclusivity along ECO Greenway

What was once a graffiti-covered concrete wall along one of Rome’s busiest trails has been transformed into a 192-foot piece of public art celebrating the people, places and traditions that make the city unique. The new “Heart of Rome” mural, located along the AdventHealth ECO Greenway beside the Fifth Avenue Bridge, features a large heart filled with symbols representing Rome’s history, natural beauty, education and community. The blue-and-white artwork was created by local artist Renee Peterson through a collaboration involving Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful, TRED of Rome Floyd County and AdventHealth Redmond. Hannah Bagley, program coordinator for Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful, said the goal was to create something that represented more than the city’s landmarks. “We wanted to highlight what special things are between the rivers, and that is so much more than just a place,” Bagley said. “It’s the people and those who have built all these amazing things.” Bagley said she and Julie Smith, the city of Rome’s trails and transportation planner and a TRED board member, had discussed creating a mural for approximately two years. The wall, which is part of the area’s historic levee system, had remained largely bare and had accumulated graffiti over the years. Both frequently
