People Bring Empty Jugs To This Little Georgia Spring For Free Water Straight From The Ground

A small pipe sticks out of a brick building, and fresh spring water just keeps pouring out of it. Nobody charges a cent. People simply show up with empty jugs and fill them. Visitors have reported a neutral pH and low dissolved-mineral readings, although these measurements alone do not establish whether the water is safe to drink. I like how something so basic feels like a small treasure.

Truck Series Driver Sworn In as Mayor Following 13th-Place Talladega Run

NASCAR already has its own ‘Mayor’ in Jeff Burton, but a Craftsman Truck Series driver has decided to take the job title quite seriously. Canadian racer Jason M. White has come a long way from being a lifty at Tod Mountain in the late 80s to taking the reins of the rebranded Sun Peaks as its mayor in 2026. Only this time around, he has a whole racing career to his name along with the mayoral hat. And for now, he isn’t willing to trade either of the two. With an active racing career and a municipality to serve, his journey from the tracks to the town hall isn’t a coincidence. NASCAR writer and ...

Two Gwinnett school board members speak out on retention bonuses

Two Gwinnett County school board members are, in their individual capacities, addressing teachers concerns on the retention bonuses that educators found out they would not receive this week. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan and Board member Rachel Stone reiterated Gwinnett County Public Schools’ stance that the bonuses were always contingent on whether the district received funding from the state to pay the teachers. They were quick to point out they were not speaking on behalf of the entire board, however. “Right now, social media is full of anger, rumors, and half-truths,” Johnson-Morgan said. “Some of it comes from real pain.

The announcement quickly took off on social media after district officials accidentally sent it to parents as well as educators. District officials told the Daily Post that the message, which was signed by Chief Financial Officer Masana Mailliard and Interim Chief Human Resources J.W. Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on
