Here are the top stories in Cartersville today:

1. On Monday afternoon, the stop signs at the Cassville Road (Hwy 293) and Hamilton Crossing were down. Today, they are back up to stay. "Bartow County officials say this will now be a three way stop." (WBHF via Facebook)
2. Noble and Main has been approved by the Historic Preservation Commission to add solar panels. The business first introduced the idea in 2019. After discussions about the possibility of glares and visibility, the Commission unanimously voted to approve the panels. Noble and Main "would be the first business or building in downtown Cartersville to install solar panels." (wbhfradio.org)
3. Bartow County Board of Education Central Office leaders have pie on their faces...for a good cause. Dr. David Chiprany, Clint Terza, and others were "good sports" while taking cherry pies to the face to raise money for Backpack Buddies and the Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter.
