Hi all. It's me, Addy Adds, your host of the Buckhead Daily. Come along to find out the most important things happening around town. Today we'll cover these stories and more:

  • Community events and political happenings.
  • The 2022 Midterm Election.
  • Events around the neighborhood.

But first, today's weather:

Sunny; nice, low humidity. High: 81 Low: 61.

Here are the top four stories today in Buckhead:

  1. The family of Jacqueline Mixon, a 78 year-old woman who was killed in the Piedmont Hospital parking deck, are expressing concern that no justice will come for her death. Mixon, a former Douglas County Sheriff Deputy, was killed in a Buckhead parking deck on March 1 when Gloria Franklin, 69, tackled her, which knocked her out before she was driven over by a SUV. A judge granted bond to Franklin in the spring, which pushed the case down the queue and backlog of unindicted cases which date back to former DA Paul Howard. (Free: WSB Atlanta)
  2. The Buckhead Community Improvement District is reminding residents that the 2022 State of Buckhead Survey will close today and that input should be submitted by then. (Free: Buckhead Community Improvement District Facebook)
  3. Buckhead City Committee CEO Bill White is requesting feedback on Buckhead City. He said that secession would be better for the community, making it a safer and more efficient municipality. (Free: BillWhiteBuckheadCity2023 Instagram)
