The City Pool at Milton City Park and Preserve (1785 Dinsmore Road) is open now; you can use it every day until 8 p.m. It will be closed during Milton Mustangs swim meets. It is a nice spot to cool off and enjoy a swim! Here is a link for information on hours, how to purchase passes, adult swim etc. www.miltonga.gov/Pool. (City of Milton)
An Alpharetta woman was scammed out of $40,000 earlier this month. She received an email that said her accounts had been fraudulently used for $10,000 in charges, and instructed her to transfer all her funds into a new account. She followed the instructions and made a transfer of $40,000 using a “Bitcoin ATM on Old Milton Parkway” into a bogus account. Later, she contacted her bank and found out the email was a scam.

Roswell residents found anti-Jewish flyers on their driveways last weekend. They were distributed in the Edenwilde subdivision early on Sunday morning. This follows similar flyers that were left in Dunwoody and Sandy Springs earlier this year. Police are investigating these flyers. (Subscription: The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
