===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 12th Publish Date:  September 12th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, September 12th and Happy Birthday to Jesse Owens I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Golfers tee off for a cause at 27th Alexis Grubbs Memorial Tournament Cobb OKs additional funding for South Cobb Library Expansion Cobb opts to settle with Purdue Pharma, Sacklers and other opioid manufacturers Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Golfers tee off for a cause at 27th Alexis Grubbs Memorial Tournament This week, the 27th annual Alexis Grubbs Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament teed off at Brookstone Country Club, bringing together over 100 golfers, sponsors, and volunteers for a day of camaraderie and purpose. Players grabbed gift bags (thanks to A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds), fueled up on Chick-fil-A biscuits, and hit the course after opening remarks from Carlos Rodriguez, the tournament chair. By 10:30 a.m., the Shotgun Start was underway. The event honors Alexis Grubbs, a Marietta High senior tragically lost in 1998, and has since awarded over $500,000 in scholarships to students pursuing legal careers. Winners? Matthew Enslein, Aaron Tomlinson, David Lyles, and Scott Lawrence. STORY 2: Cobb OKs additional funding for South Cobb Library Expansion  This week, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners greenlit $500,000 in extra funding to expand the South Cobb Regional Library by 5,000 square feet. Commissioner Monique Sheffield, who’s been pushing for this since 2021, said the project will be a game-changer for the community. The library, which opened in 2006, is one of the busiest in the county—especially for computer use. The expansion will add a new community space, a bigger teen area, and a computer lab, addressing a critical need for internet access in the area. Other board approvals? Speed signs, road projects, and grants for workforce programs. STORY 3: Cobb opts to settle with Purdue Pharma, Sacklers and other opioid manufacturers   The Cobb County Board of Commissioners has signed off on three new opioid settlements, but not without some debate. The vote was 3-1, with Commissioner Keli Gambrill opposing and Erick Allen absent. The settlements include payouts from Purdue Pharma, the Sackler family, and eight other manufacturers, all tied to their role in fueling the opioid epidemic. Cobb could see nearly $1 million from Sandoz alone, with funds earmarked for addiction treatment, prevention, and education. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: COBB MAKE A WISH STORY 4: 'Our city is strong': Mableton holds inaugural State of the City address With dancers, a marching band, and a crowd of hundreds, Mayor Michael Owens delivered Mableton’s first-ever State of the City address, blending optimism with a dose of realism. “The state of our city is strong,” Owens declared, but he didn’t shy away from the challenges. Roads, bridges, infrastructure—there’s work to do. Still, he painted a vision of a diverse, united, and thriving Mableton, calling it “not just another Atlanta suburb” but a cultural destination. Owens highlighted the city’s $13 million budget—no property taxes yet—and plans for affordable housing, smart growth, and a pedestrian-friendly future.

Six Flags just canceled its Christmas and Halloween events at multiple parks—including Holiday in the Park at Great Adventure and Over Georgia, and Fright Fest at Six Flags America, which will now close permanently on Nov. 2. Michigan's Adventure also dropped its Tricks and Treats event and will end its season on Sept. 1. The company says it's “focusing on the core season,” but Philip and Scott aren't buying it.This week, the hosts break down what these cancellations mean for perceived value, season pass retention, and long-term brand equity—especially as Six Flags launches a new “Most Valuable Pass” offering access to all parks through 2026 for as little as $75. With year-round operations shrinking and aggressive discounting ramping up, is this a smart reset or a warning sign? And what happens when short-term savings override the emotional core of seasonal guest behavior? Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.
