Dream Parks at LakePoint gets regional OK: "In the best interest of the region and, therefore, of the state." So reads the conclusion on the massive sports/retail park's review by the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission. The Jan. 28 ruling was expected and even predicted during the December rollout of plans for the Bartow County sports haven lining I-75. Groundbreaking is due in several months with first-pitch now set for October 2012. Regional review  // Dream Parks Facebook

Cartersville's NewsTalk AM 1270 back on the air: It's taken a few more weeks than hoped and endured a start-up hiccup or two with talent but NewsTalk 1270 AM is back on the airwaves. An expanded lineup is due by Monday as it streaming online. The station went dark in December 2009 but is back with some of the former ownership and an investor.
