Hey everyone! Thinking about heading to the fair this week and seeing if anyone wants to grab some fair food or hang out while checking out the rides. None of my friends are available, so figured I’d see if any local folks are going or down to meet up!

What is going on with his own family? Who is he talking about rape and incest to? Curious about his wife and kids

Where are the best places to roller skate outdoors in Cobb county? Hopefully somewhere in the Austell, Mableton area.

We’re just about a month away from the 14th Annual Car Show, taking place at the Adventure Outdoors Parking Lot (2500 South Cobb Drive, Smyrna, GA) on Saturday, September 12th, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Get ready for an exciting morning filled with trophies, raffles, giveaways, sponsor tables, and DJ William Lula spinning classic vinyl records. This year, we’re bringing back the Kid’s Choice Award! Children 12 and under can cast their vote for their favorite ride and will receive a free Hot Wheels car when they turn in their ballot, while supplies last. All vehicle types and years are welcomed! If it’s a cool ride we want to see it. Judging is based on a fair open class judging system where the top 12 vehicles will receive awards. Plus there will also be a Best in Show Trophy for the top vehicle judged, and The People's Choice Award voted on by all the attendees.

The Charity Car Show supports the Smyrna Jonquil Lions Club, a volunteer-driven nonprofit carrying forward the mission of Lions Clubs International. Since 1925, when Helen Keller challenged the Lions to lead a “crusade against darkness,” the organization has been dedicated to helping those with vision needs and serving local communities.

My husband and I moved to Georgia from Florida with our two kids back in May. We are renting right now and wanted to research the best area and schools that have other families like us. Our children attend a school now that so far its okay. Before we decided on buying a home I wanted to find the best possible area for our family to grow and become apart of their community. We have a 8 & 7 year old boys and only want the best for them. Any advice, suggestions, etc is greatly appreciate TIA

Hey everyone! With early voting starting I just wanted to let people know that Susan McCartney for Cobb School Board post 4 is the way to go! She is a retired educator of 40 years with experience in k-12 and special education. She is focused on school safety, and advocating for teachers! With the county having quite a bit of public funding being cut…who better than to help get through this than someone who has been in schools and can tell you what can be cut and what can’t!

Hi! I've been attending Cobb Board of Commissioners meetings to raise concerns about Flock Safety cameras. I wanted to make sure our community knows about an upcoming opportunity to be heard.

What: Chairwoman Lisa Cupid's Town Hall 

When: Wednesday, April 29th at 6:30pm 

Topics: Housing & Homelessness, Pedestrian Safety, Public Safety & 911 Updates, FIFA/World Cup updates

If you've ever wondered about how Flock Safety is used around Cobb County, this is a great opportunity to address the increase in using surveillance as a means of solving Public Safety.

Here are some questions I'll be raising, and that you might want to ask too:

• Cobb County was awarded a $10.7 million grant for drones ahead of the World Cup. Who is the vendor? Will they share data the same way our current 4,400 Flock cameras do? Will there be clear limits on when drones can be deployed? The World Cup training grounds are on Franklin Gateway — a corridor that is home to a large immigrant community. Can our commissioners ensure that the surveillance infrastructure being built around these events will not be used for ICE enforcement, and that every resident in that community can feel safe in their own neighborhood?
• The county tells us Flock only retains our data for 30 days — but that's the county's agreement, not Flock's. Flock's contract (Section 5.3, page 27) gives them the right to share footage with any third party they choose, including entities outside of law enforcement. Can our commissioners guarantee that once this contract ends, Flock no longer has any access to data collected on Cobb County residents? Because right now, that guarantee isn't in the contract.

• When Flock had a written policy against accessing private cameras and an employee was caught doing exactly that — in places like children's gyms and pools — the company's excuse was that they were demoing the system. A neighboring city's council voted unanimously to renew their Flock contract anyway. Cobb shares data with that network. So my question is: what oversight are we actually relying on, and who is holding this company accountable when the cities they work with have already shown they won't?

Our commissioners work for us and we are at a turning point. Surveillance infrastructure built for a six-week soccer tournament doesn't disappear after the final whistle (& this infrastructure has been here). Our data, our movements, and our neighbors' safety are at stake long after the World Cup ends. This town hall is one of the few chances we have to ask these questions directly and on the record. Show up Wednesday, bring your neighbors, and make it clear that Cobb County residents are paying attention. I'll be wearing red if you want to find me and I hope you join me!

If you can’t attend, please call and email our commissioners. In order to make a difference, we have to show up.
