Mellow Mushroom opening set for Jan. 10; hiring begins. Inch of rain so far. Empty Bowls at Rome Civic Center tonight.

 

Mellow Mushroom opening now set for Jan. 10

-A Facebook posting by the owners includes a link for job-seekers (click) and this update: "Mellow Mushroom of Rome is now HIRING. We are set to open Jan. 10 so if you need a job go to this link." Crews are continuing to update the interior of 238 Broad St., once designated as home of the defunk Rome City Market project. An early December opening originally was planned. Click forFacebook

-What it means: 2011 indeed will start with a boom in downtown Rome. The openings of Johnny's New York Style Pizza and The Greener Burger pumped dozens of new jobs into downtown. But two shops also closed: Peach Palace and later Broad Street Station.

$50,000 donation from General Electric to Floyd Healthcare Foundation to benefit The Breast Center at Floyd. 

This evening--Empty Bowls 2010 benefitting Davies Shelter.

It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas ... : With Santa already at Mount Berry Square and decorations out in force at the stores, why not non-stop Christmas music on the radio? 93.5 Life FM -- "your Christmas station" -- is spinning Christmas tunes now through the holidays. Even the station's website has a continuous snowfall effect on it. The white flakes (above, left) will follow your cursor. Life FM
