Here are the top three stories today in Cartersville:

1. Lake Altoona in Cartersville stands prominently among the most costly lakes in the state. Vacant lots spanning from approximately $55,000 to slightly over $11 million, and existing homes ranging from around $75,000 to just over $2 million, exemplify the substantial investment required. Despite the steep prices, this scenic locale boasting stunning views, captivating attractions, and its convenient proximity of merely 37 miles from Atlanta, undoubtedly justifies the expense. It certainly deserves a spot on the list of the most expensive lakes in Georgia for purchasing a second home. (AZ Animals)
2. Cartersville welcomes a new addition to its retail landscape as Staples prepares to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its brand-new store located at 155 Cherokee Place on Thursday, Jun. 22. Promising a diverse range of products and unparalleled convenience, this office supply giant is set to create numerous job opportunities. Join the Cartersville Chamber of Commerce for the grand opening event from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., where you can enjoy refreshments, enter door prize giveaways, and witness the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

3. Native to Cartersville, Kyle Golhoffer, Jr. secures the prestigious first runner-up position for the 125 spot in the upcoming 2023-2024 Northern Iowa Panthers line-up. This talented young wrestler shows immense promise and is expected to have a successful season ahead.(FloWrestling)
