🌱 Savoy Automobile Museum Featured + Taco Bell 'Scrape And Build'

Good morning, neighbors. It's Monday in Cartersville and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on the most important things happening in the community today. Here we go.

First, today's weather:

Humid with periods of sun. High: 95 Low: 75.

Here are the top five stories in Cartersville today:

1. Cartersville's Savoy Automobile Museum was highlighted in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution piece on nearby Adairsville, which was named as one of Travel+Leisure's best small towns for a summer vacation. Located less than a half-hour away from Adairsville, Savoy features five different exhibits with dozens of vehicles. Learn more about the museum and current exhibits here. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
2. A Cartersville Taco Bell will be the latest site of a "scrape and build" project. The Main Street location, which closed on Tuesday, will be completely demolished and built anew for a prospective October opening. The city's other two Taco Bells — on Charley Harper Drive and Cassville-White Road — remain open. (Northwest Georgia News)
3. Want to learn more about Native American history while passing the time with a few games? Head to the Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site today at 2:00 p.m. for its Etowah Native American Games Program. Play a round of beans or try your hand at rolling a chunky stone.
