Around the Region: Nude Mural Repainting on Hold, Injured Puppy Walks Again and Crash Results in Fatalities

Check out these top stories from Patch sites in Georgia.

 — East Atlanta Patch

The Chosewood Park mural that sparked a row in the neighborhood over its nude imagery, is not getting repainted after all.

At least, not yet.

The mural, which was painted as part of the Living Walls Conference, was to have been repainted this weekend but will now stay until a Sept. 10 meeting of area residents.

He has two splints on his front legs for a few weeks, making his walk resemble a fawn from a Disney film -- stiff legged and bouncy at the same time -- but puppy Peanut is definitely moving in the right direction.

Abandoned last month with two severely broken legs, Peanut, a 2-pound Chihuahua/miniature pinscher mix, was rescued by LifeLine Animal Project, after he was found all alone in a parking lot.

 

 — Cartersville Patch

A Labor Day crash that closed U.S. 411 in Kingston killed two people, both passengers in a Chevrolet Trailblazer that was the only vehicle involved in the crash.

Preliminary investigation indicates the Trailblazer, which was traveling westbound near Rogers Cut Off Road, left the roadway about 6:45 p.m., went down a steep embankment and hit several trees.

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
