Shooting at apartments leads to lockdown of Bibb County school An early Tuesday morning shooting in the Omiond Terrace neighborhood has caused a precautionary lockdown of Bruce Elementary School in Bibb County. It also resulted in a change of plans for their Field Day. Nobody was harmed at the school but a message was shared with parents around 8:40 a m. that the school had gone into a lockdown due to gunshots overheard in the neighborhood around the school. The K-2 Field Day was moved indoors due to safety reasons and no guests were allowed into the festivities. One dead after shooting at Cambridge Apartments on Lanier Drive in Statesboro Cameron Anderson, 19, was shot and killed at the Cambridge Apartments Monday night.

Leah Bailey claims law enforcement and the city are not doing enough to stop the issue, forcing her to take matters into her own hands. Video footage shows what Bailey says is a homeless man stealing planters right outside of Leah Bailey Interiors in downtown Savannah. It’s retail space and design studio next door to each other. Bailey says she has only been at the location 2 months, and it has been a constant struggle to keep the homeless away. She has taken to asking the homeless to move along but that angers them, and she fears for her safety. “They have taken to defecating on my building and blocking the entrance,” Bailey said in a recent interview. Mother’s Day brunch met with protest in Savannah Moon River has been hosting drag shows since 2020, and the owner says this past Sunday’s Mother’s Day bmnch show was the first time they’ve ever received pushback. The owner, John Pinkerton said he received multiple emails expressing concern about the show advertising to families. There was a peaceful protest across the street from the brewery during the event. Those who showed up say they were concerned with the fact that kids could attend. The event is a toned-down version of what is seen at a late night show. “If parents want to bring their children to a paid ticket event, that’s their business.” Pinkerton said. WE REBIND BIBLES!

When I came back upstairs, Rhonda excitedly asked me how I did. I had to tell her I couldn’t get them. Even though I could see them in my mailbox, the girl insisted it was past closing and she wouldn’t give them to me. I’m going to leave out some critical details and just say that Rhonda, hollering in her Jersey accent, stormed downstairs and came back with my MAT scores. Back then apparently, they didn’t take terroristic threats so seriously. Arooj, although a native of Pakistan, was as American as the rest of us in many respects. She loved fast food, Harry Connick Jr, and New York City but was also excited about her future arranged marriage back in Pakistan. I remember one night all of us staying up late talking about boys. We asked Arooj how she found her arranged husband. She told us her father found him. The rest of us being shallow 20-year-olds, asked “Arooj, what if he’s ugly?” Arooj looked at us like we were straight crazy and replied, “my father would NEVER pick someone ugly!” We stayed up many nights together eating pizza and talking, we four American Gen X girls trying to comprehend something so foreign to us as arranged marriage. I remember teaching all of them how to properly slurp boiled peanuts right out of the hull. Rebecca, the painfully shy one, spent the better part of those years shaking her head at all of us. We learned to live together- with Arooj’s odd prayer schedule, my equally odd smelling boots, and coveralls fresh from the UGA dairy bam, Rhonda’s yankee attitude and Rebecca constantly telling all of us to quit being so loud before we all got in trouble. Many of you will be sending the best part of you off to college in the next few weeks. There are plenty of things to stress about. Don’t let one of those things be your kid’s roommate. A perfect match doesn’t exist and sometimes the more alike you are the harder it is to get along. Over the past 25 years. I’ve maintained a close friendship with several friends I met in the UGA College of Agriculture, but I lost touch with all but one of those girls from Soule Hall. None of them became lifelong friends, mainly because after graduation we scattered literally all over the world. That doesn’t mean I don’t think of them often and remember fondly the hundred ways they each contributed to my college learning experience. College is about more than “book learning” and I learned as much about life from my Soule Hall girls as I did from many tenured professors. Those were some of the best years of my life and I’m thankful there was no “survey” to detemiine our compatibility or else we certainly never would’ve met, and my college experience wouldn’t have been nearly as rich. And even worse, those girls may have gone their whole lives not knowing how to eat a boiled peanut and that would’ve been a real tragedy.
