According to Choir Director Jay Dougherty, the lyrics centered around themes of freedom, peace, and solidarity. (WTAP)
2. A lawsuit filed last year against Marietta Main Street was dismissed this week. The plaintiff, Emanuel's LLC, owns and operates TLV Restaurant downtown; Ari Gold is listed as the CEO.
