🌱 New Charges For Young Thug + Peachtree Heights Tour + Yappy Hour

Hello, everybody! It's Thursday in Buckhead and I'm back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening locally.

Now, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy with a thunderstorm. High: 82 Low: 70.

Here are the top three stories in Buckhead today:

1. Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug faces further charges after the Fulton County District Attorney's Office filed a new indictment against Young Slime Life (YSL). Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, was arrested as part of an indictment accusing YSL of being a "criminal street gang." Many of the charges stem from police seizing weapons and drugs from Williams' Buckhead home. (HipHopDX)
2. Buckhead Heritage, in partnership with the Atlanta Preservation Center, is hosting a tour of a hidden local neighborhood. Guests can enjoy the Peachtree Heights East Movers, Shakers, and Heartbreakers Walking Tour on Sep. 10 at 10:00 a.m. Registration is free for Buckhead Heritage members; non-members can sign up via the Atlanta Preservation Center.

3. Today is Yappy Hour with Livable Buckhead! Local pups and their owners are invited to participate in an obedience training session, followed by doggy pools and cool drinks to bear the heat. The event will be held at Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta today, Aug. 11, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Visit the link to view additional dates and themes, or to RSVP for you and your furry friend.
