📰 News we're reading

1. Health inspection scores for Cobb County restaurants and other food services from August 28 to September 3 (cobbcountycourier.com) — Marietta diners can now check fresh health inspection scores for dozens of local spots, from Starbucks on Johnson Ferry and Subway on East Piedmont to neighborhood favorites like Marietta Sage, Season, and Andretti Indoor Karting. The latest state reports, all from late August and early September, show mostly high marks but a few middling scores worth noting before your next meal out.
   

2. 'My name is Kyzer. Are you here to adopt me?' (cobbcountycourier.com) — A four‑month‑old terrier puppy named Kyzer is available for adoption through Cobb County Animal Services at their Marietta shelter, which now prefers appointments but still welcomes walk‑ins. Locals can browse adoptable pets online, then visit the Al Bishop Drive facility for meet‑and‑greets, lost pet searches, or reclaiming strays, with staff ready to help new families find the right match.
   

3. 18th Annual Cobb Diaper Day (ledger-enquirer.com) — Families and businesses in Marietta and across Cobb are being asked to help collect 150,000 diapers and wipes for low‑income parents through the 18th Annual Cobb Diaper Day, with drop‑offs at a Roswell Street office and Cobb EMC's Solar Flower Garden. Donations will support several local nonprofits serving Marietta and Cobb County families struggling with basic childcare costs.
   

4. Marietta podcaster investigates 'The Truth About Natalie' in new series (ledger-enquirer.com) — A Marietta‑based true‑crime podcaster, Sean Kipe, has built a global audience while working from right here in town, with his latest series "The Truth About Natalie" probing a mysterious Georgia death. His investigations have even helped inspire a state law on cold cases, showing how a Marietta creator's work can ripple far beyond Cobb County.
   

5. Georgia Man Firebombs Flock Cameras, Traced by the Same Network (sofx.com) — Marietta police are working with Cobb County investigators after a McDonough man was arrested for allegedly firebombing Flock license plate cameras in East Cobb, with officers using the same camera network to track him down.
