Indian Springs campground renovation draws in tourism

Indian Springs, Ga - After nearly 2 years of renovation, campground #1 is open for campers, offering full hookups, a new bathhouse, and a playground. For $44 a night, campers can experience the new campsite and all other amenities at Indian Springs State Park. For over 10 years, the campground was inoperable due to aging infrastructure. Park Manager Stephen Davis saw an opportunity to attract campers and offer them a higher level of service. Since the campsite’s opening, Indian Springs State Park has seen an increase in campers. “We're proud that Indian Springs State Park is such an important part of this community,” said Davis. Indian Springs State Park is located at 678 Lake Clark Rd. Flovilla, Ga.

Viral image of maggots on cheeseburger from Jackson McDonald’s deemed fake

Jackson, Ga - McDonald’s on 546 E 3rd St. Jackson, Ga recently came underfire after a social media user claimed their cheeseburger contained live maggots. “Jackson Beat” spoke with the manager on duty who didn’t want to be named and Supervisor Darrnell. Both the manger and supervisor stated the social media image has been deemed fake by McDonald’s and the Health Department. “We serve the public and practice good food safety rest assured you can continue to have faith in Jackson’s McDonald’s,” said Supervisor Darrnell.
According to WedMD “unsanitary conditions like dirty, cluttered spaces or areas lacking proper waste management can create an environment for maggots to develop”. The social media user who shared the image told “Jackson Beat” she is going to let her lawyer handle it. “It’s safe to eat at McDonald’s but always ask for your food fresh,” said a former employee.
