Good morning, Marietta.

South Cobb Drive began in the 1940s as a dedicated route built to connect Atlanta to the Bell Bomber plant near Marietta & support wartime transportation needs, shaping the region's growth over time.

A local church is collecting essential supplies & donations to support families who lost nearly everything in South Georgia wildfires.

This community effort addresses urgent needs as the drive continues.

Residents can test their local knowledge with a new quiz from the Cobb County Courier (available on its website) that covers topics about Marietta and its history.

The quiz, run daily, aims to educate and engage community members.
