Lights! Cameras! Money Market Accounts! With tons of new speculation swirling following the exit of three local banking leaders, the tip on "Forsyth Bank & Trust" coming soon to Cave Spring made a little too much sense. Except that some local bankers will tell you there are two kinds of drought in Northwest Georgia right now: Rain and cash. Another bank is about as needed as a new nail salon, cell phone shop or "news" Web site. But the Forsyth sighting--published here Tuesday morning--had more than a few of us checking with state regulators to see if it was a real deal. It turns out to be a prop for a "redneck" movie being shot in the area. We hear of a proposed movie studio that might be able to help with that.
