Escape To This Affordable Georgia Town Where Retirees Happily Thrive On Social Security Alone

Nobody told Adairsville, Georgia it was supposed to be a hidden gem, so it just went ahead and became one anyway. Tucked into Bartow County about an hour north of Atlanta, this small northwest Georgia town has been quietly offering retirees something that most places charge a fortune for: a genuinely good life at a genuinely reasonable cost.

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.”

High-tech golf driving range coming to Cherokee County

In the summer of 2027, Cherokee County golfers will be able to refine their skills at a high-tech practice range and golf academy that’s scheduled to open in Woodstock by late July. RangeWorks, located at 1465 Woodstock Parkway, is under construction now on a 3.5-acre lot adjacent to The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta complex. Founder and owner George Mattingly says RangeWorks will combine the best aspects of outdoor golf ranges where shots are hit into open fields and indoor facilities where golfers hit balls directly into screens that use technology to provide feedback on the distance, direction and quality of shots. “We want to be in between the traditional range and the screen experience where the ball travels only about 10 feet before hitting a screen,” Mattingly said. “I want my patrons to have more ball flight and more of an organic experience than just hitting the screen.” A golfer practicing from one of RangeWorks’ 32 practice bays will see his or her shots travel about 80 yards before making contact with a screen that will send instant feedback on the shot’s performance to a screen at the practice bay. “So you experience the flight of the ball, and then

Woodstock’s Noonday Creek Trail extension to open Saturday

The Noonday Creek Trail Extension linking Woodstock to Cobb County will officially open to the public on Saturday, the city of Woodstock announced. The new trail segment extends Woodstock's existing Noonday Creek Trail south by 1.5 miles, connecting the trailhead near the Woodstock Arts Event Green to Noonday Park in Cobb County. Woodstock and Cherokee County’s trail system is now connected to the one in Cobb County, where officials are planning to eventually connect the Noonday Creek Trail to the Silver Comet Trail, one of the largest paved trails in the United States. "This project has been nearly a decade in the making, and we're thrilled to celebrate its completion," Mayor Michael Caldwell said in a statement. "The Noonday Creek Trail Extension is much more than a recreational amenity. It strengthens regional connectivity, expands transportation options, and creates new opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the natural beauty of our community and beyond." Woodstock officials broke ground on the project in December 2023 with representatives from Cherokee County, Cobb County, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Georgia Department of Transportation. Part of the trail connection runs under Highway 92. The project received funding support from the Georgia Department of

Residents rally against proposed hotel near Kennestone Hospital

MARIETTA — Area residents gathered Tuesday night to express their concerns over a proposed hotel development near Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center. About 60 residents showed up to the town hall at Christ the Redeemer Church, the vast majority of whom were opposed to the development mainly because of concerns it would substantially increase traffic. Applicant Skyline Stay properties was represented by attorney Parks Huff. Real estate broker Bob Terrell was also present. Huff presented the hotel’s layout and amenities, and said there is a need for another hotel in Marietta because the Hilton on Powder Springs Street is 30 years old, and it is “silly” to not have a hotel in close proximity to Kennestone. The proposal was first made in August 2026. A residential/medical office development on the same site was previously denied in May 2022, largely due to strong neighborhood opposition over traffic concerns. Retired neighborhood resident Ron Mercure said the neighborhood was “tired of fighting this” and had just gone through something similar. The proposed six-story hotel complex on North Avenue is planned to have 143 guest rooms, a banquet hall, rooftop restaurant, coffee shop and grocery market. The 2.5-acre site is composed of 16 properties

Archer upends North Cobb in Round 1

ACWORTH — Archer’s coach doesn’t consider the five setbacks in the Tigers’ last six regular season games to be losses. Instead, they were lessons that prepared the way for a first-round playoff victory. Archer defeated North Cobb 24-17 Friday night. The Tigers move on to play Buford, which is ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 3 in the nation by MaxPreps and USA Today. It was the eighth straight season the Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs at home. “We played arguably one of the toughest schedules in the state of Georgia, and we welcomed it,” Archer coach Dante Williams said. “We’re the ones that signed up for it because to be the best, you have to beat the best. “And so, you know, five of those games didn’t go our way, but they weren’t necessarily losses. We talk about them being lessons. We learned a lot and we knew if we just get into the tournament, get into the playoffs, we’ll be battle-tested and ready as anybody in the state.” They certainly were Friday at Emory Sewell Stadium, where the Tigers defense kept North Cobb in check.

Strong Lassiter season ends with loss at Gainesville

GAINESVILLE -- Lassiter's best season in more than a decade came to an end on Friday night with a 59-10 loss at Gainesville in the first round of the Class AAAAAA playoffs. It was an emotional scene after the final whistle as the Lassiter players processed the end of a special season for the program -- going 8-3 for its most wins since 2012 -- embracing one another and comforting each other in a difficult moment. Trojans coach Sean Thom said his message to the team after the game was one of love and appreciation for the hard work this group of players put in this year. “These guys have been going at it since January, so for it to end now, it’s a lot for them," Thom said. "Even the ones that you don’t really know if they love football, they’re like, ‘Man, I didn’t realize it would hurt like this, so I think that’s a testament to the team, being around these guys, the coaches and the type of guys we have. It’s a special bond.” Sophomore quarterback Caden Jones was intercepted on the opening drive of the game by Gainesville senior Jeremiah Proctor, who returned it into

Archer survives tough region for state playoff trip

When the Class AAAAAAA high school brackets were finalized last weekend, Archer and North Cobb drew a familiar opponent in the first round. The two teams played each other the previous two years in the regular season, so Friday’s state playoff matchup makes it three straight seasons. North Cobb won both previous meetings, 28-14 at home in 2025 and 49-21 at Archer in 2024. Archer reached the postseason while navigating an incredibly tough schedule that included No. 3 overall seed Carrollton before a region slate that featured No. 2 Newton, No. 12 Grayson and No. 19 South Gwinnett. The Tigers were off last week after a 49-23 loss at Newton in Game 10. After losing record-breaking Jordan Do to graduation off last season’s team, Archer still leans heavily on its quarterback, Jamal Ambler. The junior has 1,797 passing yards and 17 TDs, along with 241 rushing yards and three TDs. His top targets are Robbie Dunn Jr. (65 catches, 722 yards, nine TDs), Avery Booth (34-433-3), Jayden Davis (24-312-3) and Gary Isaac (23-175-4). Archer’s defensive playmakers include Joshua Booker (68 tackles, three for losses, five caused fumbles), Kevin Gwibuka (65 tackles, three for losses, four interceptions, two caused fumbles, one

Mt. Bethel Church, Academy, extend Lower Roswell Road lease

Mt. Bethel Church and Mt. Bethel Academy will remain on the same Lower Roswell Road campus for an additional two years following a lease extension, the organizations announced Thursday. Mt. Bethel Church, located at 4385 Lower Roswell Road, leases space to the Academy's middle and lower schools as the academy works to combine with its high school location on Post Oak Tritt Road. Following the extension, the lease will run through June 30, 2030, according to a joint news release. According to the academy, the school's new middle school building will open in August 2027, in time for the new school year. The lower school building is scheduled for completion in August 2028, but the two additional years give the academy wiggle room if construction experiences delays, according to academy director of communications Joe Gumm. "This is a contingency which will provide us margin to complete the transition to a single campus should that be needed," he said. The church, founded in 1840, started the academy in 1998. In 2021, the academy broke away from the church, becoming an independent private Christian school with its own board of directors. The breakaway took place one year before the church settled a

Darlington outlasts Mt. Bethel in first-round playoff game

MARIETTA — In the grand scheme of the season, very few would have expected Mt. Bethel Christian to be in a position to host a state playoff game in 2026. But despite a 6-4 season in their first year of region play, the 16th-seeded Eagles were unable to defend home turf, falling 42-38 to No. 17 Darlington and its option-heavy offense Friday in the first round of the Class AA-AAAA Private state tournament at Arrow Field. “It’s almost impossible to prepare for a triple-option in a week, but we did the best we could, and I think our guys went all-out,” Mt. Bethel coach Damon Dawson said. “We were neck and neck as far as our (playoff) ratings, and that’s what the score reflects. In the end, there were some plays that went their way, some fourth downs we didn’t stop, and here we are.” Mt. Bethel (6-5) had no answer defensively for Darlington (6-5) as the Tigers averaged 8.9 yards per carry on 46 attempts. But in the end, one could point to Darlington’s special teams blocking an Mt. Bethel extra point and breaking up a pair of 2-point conversions as the difference-maker. “It’s playoff football in Georgia, so

North Cobb has hands full with visiting Archer

North Cobb is going up against an Archer team that has lost five of its past six games. It would appear that the Warriors (8-2) are facing good odds of getting through the first round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs tonight at home. Here’s the catch. Four of Archer’s losses came against top-tier programs such as Roswell, Carrollton, Grayson and Newton. The Tigers’ losses to Roswell and Newton were both high-scoring affairs while Grayson and Carrollton were more lopsided. While Archer (5-5) lost by more than 30 points to Carrollton, Archer’s defense held the Trojans to fewer than 40. Carrollton scored more than 60 in seven of their 10 wins this year. “They are a very physical and big football team,” North Cobb coach Shane Queen said. “This is a team that is better than what their record indicates. They held Carrollton to their lowest point total all year.” The Warriors aren’t a team that spends time dwelling on their opponents. They focus more on how they help themselves. They know that Archer’s first-year starting sophomore quarterback CJ Cypher has already thrown for 3,164 yards this season, 48 touchdowns and no interceptions. Obviously they have to come up with

Pope's O'Sullivan moving from sideline to AD

Pope football coach Sean O’Sullivan is trading one job on campus for another, completing a longtime goal in the process. O’Sullivan stepped down as his coaching post to take over as the school’s full-time athletic director. He will follow interim AD Lindsay Barnette and former longtime AD Josh Mathews, who left at the end of the 2025-26 school year to become the associate director of athletics at the First Academy in Orlando, Florida. The move was approved Thursday by the Cobb County School Board. “I am excited for the opportunity to lead this program for the school and the community,” O’Sullivan said. “The foundation is there and I know it will be my job to keep us at the current high level of success.” O’Sullivan said the AD role is a job he had as a career goal, but just not quite so soon. He said he was hoping to potentially move toward the position in six to 10 years from now, but the opening sped up the timeline, and when he thought about it, he said now turned out to be the right time. “Josh did an unbelievable job,” O’Sullivan said. “Any time you take over for someone who

New PSR produces unlikely matchup between Marietta and Buford in Round 1

Marietta has a tall task ahead this Friday night, as the Blue Devils will travel to Buford to take on the Wolves in the first round of the Class AAAAAAA playoffs. Blue Devils coach Cameron Duke spoke highly of Buford’s talent and coaching, acknowledging the tough task ahead of the Blue Devils this week. The Wolves (10-0) are the No. 3 team in the nation according to MaxPreps. The new PSR system for playoff seeding implemented by the Georgia High School Association this season impacted both teams. Marietta (6-4) and Buford were both negatively impacted by playing two out-of-state games, which don’t carry the same weight in the formula as in-state games do. Marietta is the 24th-seeded team in Class AAAAAAA, while Buford is No. 9. Duke said the way the Blue Devils’ two out-of-state games affected their seed may impact how they approach scheduling moving forward if changes aren’t made. “We’re grateful for the opportunities that we had to go play the NFL Academy and play St. Cloud, who’s a playoff team down in Florida, and I believe Buford would say the same thing about playing Mallard Creek out of North Carolina and Miami Central out of Florida,” Duke
