Newnan mom Rhiannon McLendon started making TikTok videos during the early days of COVID-19, filming everyday moments like making and washing baby bottles.

Nearly six years later, she has built those everyday moments into a full-time business.

McLendon now has nearly 130,000 TikTok followers, 3.4 million likes and partnerships with major brands including Bissell, Frito and Netflix, all while building her career around what matters most to her: being there for her children.

The Newnan native and Newnan High School graduate shares how motherhood became her platform, what really goes into making a living as a content creator and her advice for other moms thinking about giving it a shot.

Who was Daniel Newnan, the man our city was named for?

He wasn’t born here. He never lived here. He never visited. And he’s buried nearly three hours away.

In his latest column, Lawrence Reed looks at the complicated life of Newnan’s namesake, Daniel Newnan, a military and political leader whose career included service in the War of 1812, the Georgia General Assembly, the U.S. Congress and as Georgia’s adjutant general.

A man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Senoia allegedly followed her for 10 to 15 minutes, at one point driving behind her with his headlights off, before attacking her on Travis Street, according to police.

Isaiah Jamal Phillips, 30, was arrested Wednesday on charges of battery, sexual battery and false imprisonment.

We spoke directly with Senoia police about surveillance footage showing how the suspect allegedly followed the victim, details of the attack, why police did not release a suspect description and what happened after Phillips was taken into custody.

We also look at his previous sexual battery arrests and speak with police about steps residents can take to protect themselves.

Senoia residents will see a significant reduction in the city’s property tax rate.

The Senoia City Council has approved a millage rate of 2 mills, down from 4.7 mills. City Manager Timothy Hults said FLOST revenue made the 2.7-mill reduction possible.

The council also heard an update on the city’s finances, including its approximately $42.9 million in debt, most of which is tied to water and sewer revenue bonds for the new sewer treatment plant.
