Teriyaki Madness (TMAD) is opening its newest shop at 3000 Windy Hill Road SE, Suite 180, on Saturday, April 25 – giving locals a new option for fast, made-to-order meals that cut no corners and definitely don’t skimp on size or quality.

ECCA Adopt-A-Mile

The East Cobb Civic Association (ECCA) held another Adopt-a-Mile cleanup along Johnson Ferry Road on Saturday working to maintain and clean up a one-mile stretch of the busy corridor. District 3 Commissioner JoAnn Birrell joined 9 others to participate in the Keep Cobb Beautiful program.

The Adopt‑a‑Mile program is an excellent opportunity for Boy Scouts and high school students to earn Community Service credit while making a visible difference in East Cobb.

Two additional cleanup dates are scheduled for 2026: July 18 (9:00 am), and October 17 (10:00 am). Volunteers meet at the back of the Publix parking lot at Johnson Ferry Road and Woodlawn Drive. Please bring gloves and a “grabber” if you have one; trash bags and vests are provided.

ECCA welcomes all who want to help keep East Cobb clean and beautiful. Thank you to everyone who participated.
