I support local businesses. I appreciate them. I want them to do well. This is particularly important in central Georgia. However, when a local business is not deserving of my business, I will not go back. I might even post a review online. I recently did this for a local computer store. I feel the [...]

The New Old West
Well, it’s happening: we’re one step further toward the new old west. Apparently, the Georgia legislature feels, almost unanimously, that we citizens need to be armed.

All proceeds from the party go to support the efforts [...]
