Government buildings go 'green' to save green

Old windows at the Marshall County Courthouse in Guntersville are being replaced with new energy efficient ones.

A $375,000 federal grant will pay for the replacement of most of the windows and the inside lighting.

Marshall County will only have to pay around $60,000--an amount county officials hope to get back in energy savings in just one year.

Trip to Atlanta is quick and economical

Submitted by Beth Ridgeway

With spring break quickly approaching and gas prices creeping higher and higher, you may be looking for someplace to have fun without breaking the bank or your gas tank!

I decided to take a trip just 3 hours from my house to Atlanta.  Home of Coca-Cola, CNN, Turner Broadcasting, Georgia Aquarium, and the Braves, Hawks, and the Falcons. 

This state capital is great for families, couples, and groups. One thing that I really liked is that Atlanta is a military friendly city. While on my trip I stayed a downtown hotel close to the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coke.  It was a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go.

We started our day out touring CNN.  You get to go throughout the building and learn about how a story gets to your TV so quickly.
