Hall and Gainesville Schools Top State


Both the Hall County and Gainesville City Schools juniors did great on the Georgia High School Graduation Test this year.

Hats off to both of our local public school systems. Keep up the great work!

Wisdom from a Beer Blast


Went down to Atlantaland recently to celebrate life and forget death with some dear friends. They called it a “decades party."
