Patch in Review: Nov. 6 - 12

It's been quite a week in Snellville.

November 6:

On this day, we captured the sad story of a man who committed suicide earlier this year, but we also illustrated a family looking to make a difference because of it.

November 7:

Occupy Atlanta hikes it to Snellville to support a local family. Who knew the social movement would make it to the suburbs?

After a call for help, continues to be in action, at least, for now.

November 8:

See the unofficial election results, and video of Kelly Kautz learning she won the mayor's seat.

November 9:

So, just because she won, doesn't mean Kelly Kautz doesn't still have some fight in her. This time, she's battling emails of hers circulated and, she asserts, altered.

In a hotly contested race Kelly Kautz beat Barbara Bender for the city's top spot. Before Tuesday evening was over, though, we saw a few questionable attitudes an actions by the two sides.

November 10:

After a few days camping out, Occupy Atlanta finally leaves the Roreys, and the family is evicted. Sad day for a lot of people. (This was our second story this day about the Roreys and OA.)

StolenLanes.org is a new initiative to bring attention to fight against H.O.T lanes and Peach Passes. See who is heading it up. (We were first, from what I can tell, with this story!)

We learned the night before the eviction that Occupy Atlanta was leaving, and then led with this story the next morning. A "new threat" was upon the family, and the social movement said it didn't want to be the cause of it.

November 11:

It was Veteran's Day, and on this day many restaurants far and wide had deals for our brave men and women.

November 12:

is continuing in the playoffs. Whoohoooo! Check out this video that says it all.
