Three-Dot updates . . . :

... Downtown Cartersville's Culinaria adjacent to Appalachian Grill grows: Now added to the line-up is a new salad bar for "meal" or side salads ... Tethered iPhones arrive--with a catch: The good news is AT&T will soon offer tethering, which lets you use your iPhone as a modem for your laptop. The bad news: It will cost an extra $20 a month and data plans are changing. Tethering is still cheaper than the plug-in modems. Click ... Marietta site of nearest workshop for laidoff workers: The Georgia Department of Labor will begin a series of workshops this week to help thousands of laid-off Georgia education employees transition into new careers. The first workshops are scheduled for Friday and Saturday. Details . . . Broad Street Station moving to Peach Palace site: Rusty Canada says Broad Street Station should be open by late July or early August in the former home of Peach Palace at 425 Broad St. He is applying for his state license on Friday and will go back to transfer his city application from the former McCrobie's site to new address on June 14. If approved, he hopes to open a restaurant in the downstairs part of the palace and a club on the second story. "We're working on a menu now for the restaurant that will be downstairs. We hope the club . . . will be known as the destination for live entertainment and music in Rome," he says. (By Natalie Simms)
