Hi there, Sandy Springs! I'm here in your inbox per usual to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and nice. High: 76 Low: 47.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Sandy Springs who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

Here are the top four stories today in Sandy Springs:

1. A fire has destroyed a popular sports bar in Atlanta, and investigators are trying to find out why. Buckhead Saloon went up in flames early Monday morning, leaving the location completely burned out and with a collapsed roof. Firefighters in the area were still working to put out hot spots on Monday afternoon. No injuries have been reported at this time. (FOX 5 Atlanta)
2. The next meeting of the Decatur City Commission will focus on rezoning throughout the district, which could impact Sandy Springs and the surrounding areas. According to officials, the difference between the school districts and the city population is enough to require redistricting. Should the redistricting go forward, they could significantly change the traffic patterns of surrounding areas. Those seeking more information should check out the link.(Decaturish.com)
3. Police are looking for more information on a man responsible for a carjacking near the 200 block of North Arcadia Avenue. The victim and her daughter were in an apartment complex parking lot when the attack took place. The suspect pointed a gun at the two and demanded their car. The man managed to escape with the vehicle, but the victim and her child were luckily unharmed. (Decaturish.com)
