🌱 New Properties + Adoptable Pets + Cobb County PD Baseball Camp

Hi all. It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Smyrna-Vinings Daily — here to tell you all the most important things happening in town these days. Let's dive right in.

First, today's weather:

A stray morning thundershower. High: 87 Low: 67.

Here are the top three stories in Smyrna-Vinings today:

1. New properties just hit the Smyrna-Vinings housing market. Five new homes became available in the Smyrna-Vinings region this week. The residences span size, type, and budget to fit a variety of lifestyle needs. If you're in the market for a new home, check out the single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments newly-available for sale. (Smyrna-Vinings Patch)
2. Meet Jesse, Midnight, and other adoptable pets in Smyrna-Vinings. As summer comes to a close, dozens of pets are still looking for their fur-ever homes. Jesse, a four-month-old Labby/Boxer type, and Midnight, an adult Domestic Short Hair, are just two of the sweet adoptable pets available in the area. Many are good with other pets and/or kids, so browse available dogs and cats at local shelters today! (Smyrna-Vinings Patch)
3. The Cobb Police Athletic League is hosting its annual Baseball Camp. The completely free camp will teach kids ages 7-11 and 12-16 correct fundamentals, drill processes, and mental approaches, regardless of age or ability level. The camp will run on Aug. 23 and Aug. 24 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Visit the Cobb County Police Facebook page to register. (Cobb County Police Department via Facebook)
