Apple Fans Line up for iPhone 5 – Buckhead Patch

Gregory Wood and his wife Jennifer Johnson were in line at the Apple Store at Lenox Square around 6:30 a.m. Friday, hoping to score a new iPhone 5. Around 9 a.m., they were still waiting, but were within minutes of getting their hands on the newest iPhone, which hit stores Friday, Sept. 21.

Wood, like many others in line, admitted they could have pre-ordered the phone. But that would take away from the experience of standing in line and meeting other Apple fanatics like themselves.

– Marietta Patch

Even though an anti-Obama message has been taken down from a local bar sign, people still showed up this weekend to protest.

It was a peaceful event Saturday at Mulligan’s Food and Spirits with about 20 protesters—organized by Marietta-based New Order National Human Rights Organization Inc.—showing up, according to the Marietta Daily Journal.

A sign, which read “I Heard The White House Smelled Like Collard Greens And Fried Chicken,” was just the latest controversial statement at the bar on Park Street Southeast in Marietta.
