Good morning, Marietta.

A large crowd gathered at the Cobb Senior Wellness Center today for the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Cafe Social House—an event marked by speeches from owner Gloria Smith and local officials.

The new restaurant will offer fresh meals to seniors and the public and is expected to add a valuable resource to the community.

Seniors at Conners Senior Village reported broken alarms, unsafe repairs, and neglect that risk their health — prompting the mayor to step in.

City officials will review repair records soon to improve living conditions.

Yesterday marked what would have been Channel 2 anchor Jovita Moore’s 58th birthday, and her memory lives on through a $25,000 scholarship fund—managed by the National Association of Black Journalists—to help students study broadcast journalism.
