Bartow flu shots today, Thursday. Northwest Georgia's buzz. Weather in a word: Beautacious.

Regional Buzz. Click Hometown

-Moonlight on the rise: The Moonlight Restaurant is open in West Rome at 1818 Redmond Circle, the former spot of Down South Country Cooking in Rome...Put on hold by a fire several months ago, the Wendy's at 711 Martha Berry Blvd. is close to reopening... Which brings us to Waffle House at 601 Turner McCall: We got several answers on the fate of the store near Floyd Medical Center from "they haven't decided yet" to "that's a good question." It also had fire damage. Calls are in, too.

-Opi's Roadhouse is getting close at Ga. 53 & 140:  This is an excellent example on Facebook on how to keep fans interested as the opening of Opi's Roadhouse draws closer. A late September opening was planned. The original also was damaged by fire. (Latest photo, right)

-This Bud's for you... and you ... and: Rome is among the communities taking part in Anheuser-Busch's "Grab Some Buds" campaign, seeking to put a head on the stale sales of the flagship brew, Budweiser. Details. Included is the company's first National Happy Hour set for 5 tonight across the nation. Look for the Rome party to start at 333 on Broad and then move to other spots throughout downtown. Restaurants also are serving Bud specials this week, including two-for-one Buds or discounted draughts (Johnny's).

Flu shots available for seniors today, for all on Thursday: Bartow County Health Department is offering flu shots at a special drive-through clinic at the Senior Citizens Center on Zena Drive Wednesday, Sept. 29, from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. for people 65 and over and for those who have difficulty walking.  People over 65 who have not yet received a pneumonia shot can get a free pneumonia shot at the same time.  On Thursday, Sept. 30, the health department will be offering flu shots to everyone six months and older at the new Clarence Brown Conference Center from 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. in Etowah Rooms I and II.  Free pneumonia shots for qualifying persons will also be available.
