Douglas County Bank, in Douglasville, was seized and sold to Hamilton State Bank, of Hoschton. The bank has four area branches, in Douglasville, Dallas and Lithia Springs. It was Douglas County’s largest bank, with 22 percent of the market share by deposits. Branches will reopen as branches of Hamilton State Bank at 9 a.m. today. The bank was founded in 1974 by the Thornton family. Key shareholders included John Thornton, namesake of John Thornton Chevrolet. Douglas County Bank is the 86th bank failure in the state since mid-2008. That is more than in any other state

NO, we're good for now. Thanks for offering. Absolutely, we've done so in the past and it's come back many-fold through pcom. Been wonderfully surprised time after time.

Just remember "A bird in the bush is worth two (Bushes, birds?) in the White House" or something like that.

Thank you Subby & 2busy4 for offering I knew that we're all neighbors out here and y'all prove it to me every time I ask.

Sorry to ask, but my wife had cataract surgery this morning and since we got home, the eyes have been irritating her severely. We have no driver and I need to go nearby to pickup over-the-counter Lubricant Eye Drops that the doctor told her over the phone to get more of. We're 5 minutes from Ingles, which should have it. Anyone nearby have 10 minutes now? PM Me if you're available.

Bumble Bee is excellent. I always surprise folks with something from there when I go visiting.

Taxes might be due to the marriage penalty!!! Myrtle Beach is very nice and you should be able to find something quite reasonable this time of year. Excellent shows, beaches, golf, etc.

Considering the head of the SWAT team lives right there, ur lucky he didn't see this. Also, could be why they delayed the buses.

Living off of Nebo, in a area where multple thefts have occured, this was out of line!!! There are acceptable pranks --- not this one

We use Waste Ind. and enjoy the recycling pickups, now every other week becsuse not enough folks signed up for it. Their folks were good at rescheduling when new drivers missed us and recently changing the pickup days created a problem, but were sticking with them

These are the events from events2000 received over the last couple of months.

The PBS documentary told the same story --- fascinating. Check it outHERE

I'm thinking it's where he'll stage his outdoor battle scenes.

Tyler Perry believed to be buyer of massive Douglas County property, as per AJC. A massive Douglas County property once slated for more than 1,300 residences has been sold to a company with apparent ties to entertainment mogul Tyler Perry. The company, ETPC Company LLC, acquired 856 acres about eight miles southwest of Six Flags Over Georgia. The property is just south of Sweetwater Creek State Park and I-20.

Thanks, will try it. Also, I have recommended you to others in the past, but I can't get insurance from you. I had my insurance locally and wanted to stay local when I inherited a small home in another state. I discovered I couldn't get a policy on both houses from a local agent and had to go national. As for auto, I'm too happy with my current policy to change, but if that changes, I'll be by.

We found some leaked AA batteries in devices we came across while going through stuff. Removed batteries, but crud remains. Any advice on how to remove it?

There is huge hail in Douglas County, paralleling I-20, heading NE, as per Glenn Burns. He says it's headed towards Six Flags, but I might expect to see some way South in Paulding.

Capra GIa Cheese Co Just saw this place in Carrolton. No idea about wine tastings, but they appear to have your goat cheese.

Go to the Marietta Wine Market by the Square when they have a sampling of Georgia wines.
