The disappearance of a neighborhood is not always followed by an empty field. A highway can cover its route, and a redevelopment project can replace its homes so thoroughly that an ordinary drive reveals very little of the earlier place. These two Alabama residential areas can be traced through unusually...

In rural Georgia, a mother fights for her daughter's care

More than 130 million Americans provide care to a family member or loved one. Half of them experience financial strain because of it. In rural southwest Georgia, one mother is living that reality. Cassenda Nelson's daughter was diagnosed with diabetes during COVID. She now also has epileptic seizures and takes mental health medication. Nelson's day starts with a medication routine, followed by appointments, work and the constant logistics of managing her daughter's care. She is a community health worker, a breast cancer educator and a doula. After the midterms, she wants elected leaders to understand what families like hers actually need by hearing from the people living it. "The unknowing in the beginning put me in a state of depression for myself, so I was not able to proactively get to work and do the things that I needed to do, along with navigating her care and dealing with my own personal mental health," Nelson said. Nelson lives in Camilla, Georgia, and pointed out the care her daughter needs is not available nearby. She travels to children's hospitals out of state in Jacksonville and Tallahassee and has doctors in Columbus and Macon. She added she has received almost no financial

Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms flips 6 Republican-leaning precincts in Columbus

Twelve Muscogee County voting precincts Gov. Brian Kemp won in his 2022 race against Stacey Abrams swung 10.7 points toward Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms in Tuesday’s election, according to a report by the government relations and public affairs firm Ohio River South . The shift in these Republican-leaning precincts began in 2022 and continued in 2024, Karl Douglass, a partner at Ohio River South, told the Ledger-Enquirer. But he said there was a noticeable uptick in 2026. “Those 12 precincts that Kemp won that are in north Columbus and midtown, Keisha Lance Bottoms won six of them outright,” Douglass said. “And in every one of them, she gained ground against both the (Kamala) Harris share of the vote and the Abrams share of the vote in ‘24 and ‘22, respectively.” The report said the Democratic share of the vote in those precincts rose from 39.6% to 50.3%. In Muscogee County, already a solid Democratic stronghold, the number of voters who chose the Democratic nominee in the governor’s race increased by 7.1 percentage points from four years ago. How Bottoms outperformed in Republican-leaning precincts Bottoms, the first Black woman elected governor in the United States, won Muscogee County by 20,676 votes,

Columbus to name city building after the late Councilor Jerry ‘Pops' Barnes

The Columbus Consolidated Government is renaming the Boxwood Recreation Center in honor of the late Columbus Councilor Jerry “Pops” Barne s. CCG will conduct a ceremony marking the occasion Nov. 13 at 1:30 p.m. at the rec center, 1068 Enoch Drive. “The renaming honors Barnes for his public service to Columbus,” CCG said in a news release Wednesday. Columbus resident W. Greg Herring submitted the honorary designation application to the city clerk’s office, and the city council unanimously approved the resolution during its Oct. 13 meeting. “After the Boxwood Recreation Center had been closed for ten years, Councilor Barnes spearheaded its reopening in 2013,” Herring wrote in the application. “With his support the Boxwood Soccer Club, Path to Shine and Friends And Neighborhood Network were established at the Boxwood Center. With his leadership the East Carver Heights Community Development Corporation was started in 2021, these programs continue to this day.” Barnes died two years ago at age 80 from an unspecified illness. On the council for 17 years, he represented District 1, where the Boxwood Recreation Center is located. Among the city improvements Barnes helped lead to fruition are parks and recreation centers, hiring more police officers and opening a
