PET BRIEFS
Pet Pick Oreo has lived in a home his whole life and so is bewildered to be at a shelter again. He was adopted from PAWS as a small pup. He is taking it in stride though and making a lot of friends. He loves people like him – calm, collected, into a nice and easy life. We think he would be fairly happy with or without another pup, though. If you are looking for a wise, laidback guy, who loves a good sniff and strut, then Oreo is your guy. To adopt Oreo or any of the other available cats and dogs, visit PAWSAtlanta at pawsatlanta.org or the shelter at 5287 Covington Highway in Decatur.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the city played host to the Summer Olympic Games. The event brought international recognition to Atlanta and was the catalyst for much of the transformation of Downtown. Last month, the Georgia Historical Society and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority hosted a dedication ceremony for a new state historical marker in Centennial Olympic Park, which remains a lasting legacy of the games. Known officially as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad, the sporting events were held in and around the city July 19 to Aug. 4, 1996. At l a n t a I N t o w n Pa p e r. c o m
