Thanksgiving’s almost here, and let’s be honest—someone’s gonna forget the cranberry sauce or run out of butter. Happens every year, right? If you’re that person (no judgment), don’t panic. While big stores like Walmart, Target, and Costco are taking the day off, a handful of grocery stores will have their doors open—just with shorter hours. Here’s the deal: Amazon Fresh? 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Food Lion? Closing at 3 (or 4 in some spots). Sprouts? Open till 7. Walgreens? Only the 24-hour ones. Moral of the story? Double-check your stores—or embrace the chaos. STORY 2: Christmas pilgrimage tour to offer a glimpse of historic Marietta homes The Marietta Pilgrimage Christmas Home Tour is back for its 39th year, running Dec. 5–7, and this time it’s all about the historic Kennesaw Avenue neighborhood. Think festive, decked-out homes, rich history, and a little holiday magic. Five private homes—plus churches, museums, and other historic spots—are opening their doors. Highlights? The 1840 Gignilliat-Griffin-Gilbert House with its Romanesque marble mantels, and the Buttolph House, where 12-foot ceilings and original fireplaces have been lovingly restored. Tickets are $35 in advance ($40 during the tour) and cover all three days. Complimentary shuttles will run from Mill Street. For tickets and details, visit mariettapilgrimage.com. STORY 3: Cobb cracks down on unregulated pet sales  Cobb County just tightened the leash on unregulated pet sales. A new ordinance, approved unanimously by the Board of Commissioners, now lets animal services officers issue citations for illegal roadside sales of dogs, cats, and rabbits—think parking lots, flea markets, and sidewalks. The ordinance doesn’t stop licensed breeders or pop-up adoptions, but it cracks down on shady sellers. Ann Lewis and her 9-year-old twins, Hadley and Ellie, spoke in support. “We’ve seen puppies sold from car trunks,” Ellie said. Three related amendments also passed, including one allowing shelters to shorten hold times during emergencies. Cobb’s shelter has already taken in over 6,200 animals this year, and space is tight. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: MHS students and volunteers help feed hundreds ahead of Thanksgiving break Marietta High didn’t just hand out food before Thanksgiving break—they showed up for their people. Over 200 families walked away with bags full of fresh produce and pantry staples, thanks to a team effort that felt more like a big, messy family reunion than a food drive. The JROTC kids and football players? They were out there at the crack of dawn on Nov. 19, hauling 10,000 pounds of food like champs. Superintendent Dr. Grant Rivera put it best: “This is what community looks like. Our students know they’re cared for, supported, and surrounded by love.” It’s not just a holiday thing, either—MHS has families’ backs all year long. STORY 5: ‘No more good 10 acres’: Parks director lays out path forward for Cobb  Cobb County’s running out of land for parks—like, really running out. Michael Brantley, the parks director, didn’t sugarcoat it when he spoke to the Kiwanis Club. “There’s no good 100-acre plots left. Heck, not even 10-acre ones,” he said. Land’s expensive, and what’s left? Not exactly prime real estate. So, what’s the plan? Brantley says it’s time to rethink what we’ve already got—revamp, redevelop, make it work. Oh, and there’s the Tritt property, nearly 30 acres near East Cobb Park. It’s tied up in restrictions, but there’s hope. And trails? Big plans there—connecting the Silver Comet to the Beltline? Game-changer. Break: STORY 6: Public comment sought on Orrs Ferry plan   Got thoughts on the future of Orrs Ferry? The National Park Service wants to hear ’em. They’re working on a big plan—like, 20 years big—for the Chattahoochee River’s Orrs Ferry unit, and they’re asking the public to weigh in by Dec. 21. What’s in the works? On the west side: new trails, restrooms, picnic spots, ...
