Cool, Quiet and Dry: Comfort for a Lake Oconee Home

Middle Georgia Oddities Market brings unique collectibles, mildly macabre items

WARNER ROBINS — Some people collect stamps or baseball cards. Some prefer things a little … “different”. Such is the case for Kristie and Christopher Whisler, owners of Middle Georgia Oddities Market in Warner Robins. For them, what began as childhood fascination with the unusual has grown into a business that celebrates creativity, supports local artists and brings together people who proudly march to the beat of their own drum. Located at 1760 Watson Boulevard, Middle Georgia Oddities Market offers a little bit of everything that falls outside the ordinary. Visitors can browse preserved insects, bones, taxidermy, handmade jewelry, candles, clothing, sculpted figures and vintage media. And for Kristie, whose business actually began years ago under the name Postmortem Crafts, the shop represents something much bigger than selling unusual artwork. “I wanted to have a collection of different artists in here,” she said. “I’m all about community, I’m all about animals, the people.” The business officially opened its storefront Sept. 12, following a journey that began with a move from Orlando, Florida, to Middle Georgia about two and a half years ago. The move wasn’t exactly planned. “It’s funny how we ended up here,” she said. “My husband was in

Macon-Bibb County Commission seeks to put penny sales tax on future ballots

The Macon-Bibb County Commission wants to ask voters to decide whether to renew an additional penny sales tax that Mayor Lester Miller credits with helping reduce property tax rates over the past five years. The OLOST — which stands for Other Local Option Sales Tax — is a penny-on-the-dollar sales tax first approved by Bibb County voters in 2021. The county commission voted during its meeting Tuesday evening to approve a measure that would allow voters to decide in March whether to renew it for another five years. The ballot item still must be approved by the Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections. Miller said the OLOST has been used to help roll back the millage rate from 20.33 to 9.575 mills. “If it passes then, of course, we’ll continue to collect the penny sales tax and we’ll continue to use that to offset property taxes,” Miller said. “If we put this on the referendum and it fails, then we’ll revert back to the other rate or substantially cut the budget by millions and millions of dollars.” Commissioner Donice Bryant asked if there would be any public hearings or meetings on the matter. Miller replied that it would be against the

Walmart breaks ground on massive Georgia facility

A groundbreaking was recently held at the site for the $1.3 billion facility that is expected to create 1,000 jobs for northeast Georgia. Big Lots Rebounds: How many Big Lots remain in Georgia 2 years after filing for bankruptcy? A spokesman for Walmart said Wednesday that construction on the 1.5 million-square-foot facility is expected to conclude in 2029, but a timetable has not been set for the hiring of employees. A groundbreaking ceremony included Walmart executives, local elected officials, and others at the site was dedicated in Franklin County near the I-85 corridor. Walmart executives have reported the facility “will combine advanced automation and technology with Walmart associates to increase fulfillment capacity, improve efficiency and help get online orders to customers faster.” The center is an effort by Walmart to transform its supply chain, the store reported. The Georgia Governor’s Office announced in August that Walmart had decided to locate the new plant in northeast Georgia. Walmart and Sam’s Club have 209 stores in Georgia.
