The old Ace Hardware store on Ga. Highway 154 just north of Thomas Crossroads was approved Jan. 23 for a rezoning that will bring a furniture and appliance business to the location.
The unanimous vote by commissioners amended a condition of the C-6 (Commercial Minor Shopping Zoning District) zoning that allowed the site in 2004 to be used as a hardware store.
Applicant Jack Shepard requested that one of the conditions of the zoning be amended to permit the old hardware store to be converted to a business that sells furniture and appliances.

Let’s dub our Tuesday weather excursion “Freakslick.” Just like the party of the same name, it led to gridlock on Atlanta highways and roads. Heck, our roads here too in Fayette County to a fair extent.
Unleashing that volume of traffic on Atlanta without snow and ice would’ve been bad enough on the finest of summer days. But pile on a heaping helping of nonexistent planning on top of snow and ice … and you have a national embarrassment for the Atlanta area, and sadly yes that includes you and me.

The recent snow storm has created some scheduling issues for varsity basketball teams, with only one week left in the regular season.
None of the Jan. 28 games were played, and only one Jan. 31 game was to go ahead as scheduled. That means a lot of extra games in the coming week leading up to the region playoffs.
McIntosh was scheduled to host Whitewater Jan. 31, and those games were to proceed, according to representatives from both schools and the district’s central office.
