Cumberland Hyatt restaurant narrowly avoids failing health inspection

CUMBERLAND — The restaurant at the Hyatt on Windy Hill Road passed its health inspection score by five points after an inspector found seven violations, including food storage, labeling and temperature violations. Modern Provisions Atlanta, also historically known as Padella Restaurant, located at the Hyatt Regency Suites at 2999 Windy Hill Road, received a 74 out of 100 during Thursday’s routine health inspection. The Hyatt declined to comment on the matter. Health inspections are conducted by the Georgia Department of Public Health. The score is categorized under the letter grade “C” for marginal compliance with the health code. There are four letter grades a restaurant can receive during an inspection: an “A” for scores between 90 and 100, a “B” for scores between 80 and 89, a “C” for scores between 70 and 79 and a “U” for an overall score of 69 or lower, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. The hotel restaurant previously scored a 87 in January and an 80 in May 2025. All seven violations were corrected on-site..

Cobb certifies election results, reports highest turnout in metro Atlanta

MARIETTA — The Cobb County Board of Elections & Voter Registration unanimously certified the results of the Nov. 3, 2026, general election at its monthly meeting Monday. “Serving voters at 13 early voting locations and 148 election day precincts took tremendous preparation, coordination, and dedication,” Cobb Elections Board Chair Jennifer Mosbacher said. “It’s not just one day of elections. These numbers reflect both an engaged community and the hard work of everyone who made voting possible. Lastly, I want to thank Cobb County voters for making your voices heard and taking part in this election.” Election certification is the final, ministerial step in the election process where preliminary election night results are made official after county election officials sign off on them. It marks the conclusion of the vote-counting and verification process known as canvassing. Cobb Elections Director Leigh Phillips reported 339,277 of Cobb’s 525,871 registered voters cast a ballot, for a 64.52% turnout rate, an increase of almost three percentage points from 2022’s 61.70% rate. Mosbacher said Cobb had the highest turnout rate in metro Atlanta, and the highest rate of any Georgia county with more than 100,000 registered voters. Democrats had overwhelming success in Cobb County, reflecting trends

Five historic Marietta homes open their doors for annual holiday pilgrimage

MARIETTA — A beloved holiday tradition is returning to the Gem City with the 40th annual Marietta Pilgrimage Dec. 4 through 6, showcasing some of the area’s most historic homes decorated for the holidays. Cobb Landmarks and Visit Marietta annually host an opportunity to tour each private home decked in holiday decor at their own pace on a walking tour throughout the first weekend of December. The event is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for both organizations, with profits split between them. Every year, the pilgrimage’s organizers select a series of five homes along a historic street in the city to showcase to the public. Becky Godbee, co-chair of this year’s pilgrimage, said the event is meant to celebrate historic preservation and strengthen community pride while supporting Cobb Landmarks and Visit Marietta. “It highlights what makes Marietta so special,” Godbee said. “I feel like … the varied architecture of the homes reflects how varied our residents are in Marietta. There is just a wonderful mix of cohesion that just makes it all spectacular.” Prior to the pilgrimage kickoff, the Pilgrimage Gala will take place at The Whitlock Inn on Dec. 3 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Canton to consider sidewalk extension for West Main Street

The Canton City Council is considering a contract that would include the design of a new sidewalk connection for West Main Street. On Thursday, the Canton City Council heard a presentation on “Task Order 10” for the West Main Street Pedestrian Connection. The city council is scheduled to consider this contract Nov. 19. Under this proposed $238,599 task order, Practical Design Partners would conduct survey and design work for an extension of the 10-foot sidewalk along West Main Street beginning at Railroad Street and continuing west along the north side of West Main Street. The sidewalk would be installed adjacent to the Legacy Sports Complex. “A retaining wall is proposed to maintain the sidewalk’s elevation as it connects to the existing loading dock. The loading dock and about 360 feet of the existing walkway adjacent to the railroad track will be resurfaced to create a uniform surface and designated pedestrian pathway. A new cast-in-place concrete staircase and railroad pedestrian crossing will be constructed to provide pedestrian connectivity to the Mill on the Etowah. Fencing and barriers will be provided along the path to prevent unauthorized access to the railroad Right of Way and to protect from fall hazards,” a city

Qualified local government standing is a state-level designation which makes Mableton eligible to apply for state funding programs, infrastructure grants and development incentives which require the qualified designation. The formal recognition follows DCA Director Lisa Westin’s confirmation congratulating Mableton on completing and adopting its first local comprehensive plan, Elevating Tomorrow: Mableton 2045.
