• Renew Your Georgia Driver's License at the Grocery Store!

The article explains how the kiosks work, what to bring, eligibility limits, and reminds you to confirm your chosen store still offers license services before heading out.
• City of Smyrna Becomes an Affiliate of Bee City USA (cobbcountycourier.com) — Smyrna's City Council has officially designated the city as a Bee City USA affiliate, tasking Keep Smyrna Beautiful with leading pollinator-friendly projects and education.
