• How to share input on the Paulding County School District schedule.
• Open jobs in the Dallas and Hiram areas, and more.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and warm. High: 88 Low: 66.

Here are the top five stories today in Dallas and Hiram:

1. The Hiram Bar and Grill Restaurant is facing enormous backlash after a viral video showed a Black woman being harassed. The TikTok video shows the woman, who entered the bar in order to play pool, was verbally abused and intimated by a group of white individuals who identified themselves as racists. The video has garnered over 107,000 views as of this writing. The Hiram Bar and Grill has not yet issued a statement on the incident. (REVOLT)

5. The Paulding County Sheriff's Office is reminding people not to advertise that they are away on vacation via social media. With Fall Break this week, plenty of families are excited to share their trips and adventures - but officials caution that not only friends and family keep tabs on your social media accounts. Criminals will often monitor social media for opportunities to rob unattended homes, so save those photos for after your vacation has come to an end. (Paulding County Sheriff's Office)
