Good morning my fellow neighbors! It's Tuesday in Roswell and I'm back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening around Roswell-Alpharetta.

First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the a.m.. High: 89 Low: 73.

Here are the top four stories in Roswell today:

1. A Roswell man spoke to Channel 2 about a connection between a tick bite and alpha-gal syndrome. Rob Attaway first started breaking out in hives 12 years ago, and endured for 9 years until he found out what was causing his hives. A bite from the Lone Star tick is believed to have caused alpha-gal syndrome. This syndrome causes a delayed reaction to red meat. He talked about his journey and how he continues to live his life to the fullest. (newsbreak.com)
2. The Historic Bailey-Johnson School building off Kimball Bridge Road is to become the ‘Garren’ Adaptive Re-Use Office Campus. Formally known as the Alpharetta Colored School, the Bailey-Johnson school operated from 1950-1967 to serve Black students in North Fulton. More recently its been used as a maintenance facility for Fulton County Schools. Now a partnership between KB Venture Partners and Cresent Communities will reimagine the space to create a unique office campus in the Roswell-Alpharetta office market. (whatnowatlanta.com)

In a public meeting on July 13, residents are urged to attend via Zoom and share their views on this proposed 81-room hotel. Although this development is zoned for Alpharetta, it will border Crabapple and Milton neighborhoods. (thegeorgiasun.com)
