national fireman appreciation day(May 4th)

Thanks to the generous donations from the neighborhood, we were able to surprise our local fire station with goodies! Good job neighbors!

Monday, May 4 is International Firefighters Day and a day that honors those firefighters who have died in the line of duty and to express our appreciation to the firefighters who are there for us in time of critical need.  At SGMHP, we especially want to show our appreciation to the men and women at our nearest fire station, at 850 Terrell Mill Rd., adjacent to Terrell Mill park.  

Publix Supermarket to Close at Year's End for Renovation/Expansion

We've learned that the Publix Supermarket, located in the Sope Creek Crossing shopping center (2900 Delk Rd.) will be closing at the end of 2026 for a complete renovation and expansion. According to reports, the renovation is expected to take 6 to 9 months.  Just recently, Publix closed their store at 1100 Johnson Ferry Rd. (near Johnson Ferry and Woodlawn Dr.) for the same reason—renovation and expansion. The Johnson Ferry store renovations are expected to be complete in December; and then the Delk Road store will close for its renovation.

Speed Tables Coming to Haverford Lane

Thanks to the persistence and diligence of Haverford Lane residents and others in the neighborhood, Haverford Lane will soon see "speed tables" installed to slow traffic on Haverford Lane.  The residents there have lobbied Cobb County officials for several years and asked for "traffic calming improvements" (as they're called) to reduce the speed of cars travelling down Haverford. Unfortunately, it has been common for cars to speed down that street, which poses a risk to people walking or children playing in the area. (Note: remember that the posted speed limit throughout the three neighborhoods is 25 MPH.)  According to Cobb officials, the work is expected to be completed by the end of the summer.
