I live in a small subdivision in Sandy Springs, Princeton Square.   There are about 150 families, many with kids.  Every 4th of July they have a little breakfast party down by the pool club followed by a parade around the neighborhood.The kids decorate their bikes, scooters and wagons trying to win prizes in the various categories.I don't know who is responsible, but the Sandy Springs Fire Department sends out a firetruck that leads the parade around the neighborhood.  After the parade, the firemen usually open up a hydrant and set up a huge geyser that is great fun for the kids.Unfortunately, this year our area is experiencing a drought and there are strict watering restrictions in place.  The kids were pretty disappointed but had a blast just swimming in the pool instead.I had a nice ... 07/05/2007

I live in Sandy Springs and I like to stay up to date with what's happening around the area.  I've seen a lot of those free neighborhood newspapers over the years but they never caught my attention much.  For some reason though, the new Sandy Springs Reporter comes across with a fresh voice that I really like.  I always look forward to the  next addition coming out.The thing that caught me by surprise was the police blotter section.  I usually can't stop laughing at some of the stuff that Lt. Steve Rose of the SSPD writes up.  There's always some extra commentary about how the perpetrator screwed up and got caught. Sometimes he adds a moral to the story. In the latest addition there was the following.A man called the police and said that he was in fear of his life, of his wife, because ... 06/22/2007

As of earlier today, the AJC  reported that a "boil water advisory" remained in effect for a small area of Sandy Springs in Fulton County.  It is anticipated that the advisory will remain in effect until at least tomorrow morning.The problem that initially caused the advisory to all of Sandy Springs was due to a water-main valve that cut pressure to the main line serving the city of 86,000 people.  That low pressure allows for the possibility for "contaminants into the water supply," said Janet Ward, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management.  "The advisory will be lifted only after lab tests determine that there are no contaminants remaining in the water."Watershed workers will be visiting homes in Sandy Springs today to ask for water samples, Ward said.

So now that I have found the usefuleness of blogging, I have become addicted. I find myself reading other people's blogs and posting comments about their topics. I even started a new Alpharetta Real Estate Blog on a seperate domain yesterday. One would think that one blog would be enough, but, I like to be able to use each one for something a little bit different. Does anyone else use more than one blog? What do you do with your different blogs? I might start another blog just for Sandy Springs news and info. I think I might be sick! 02/14/2007
