Look at what haunts Bryan Avenue on Halloween?

Here's a cast of ghouls that haunt Bryan Avenue from Halloween's past:

Halloween on Bryan Ave. brings out the zombies

 

More than 20,000 - yes, that is 20,000 21,768 - pieces of candy have been delivered to the good residents of "Scary" Avenue as it becomes Woodbury, a central location in the Walking Dead  TV show. Mayhem and carnage will be delivered, have no doubt.

Trick or Treeting starts at 6 p.m. and wraps up at 9 p.m. Police will block the road  at 5 p.m.

There's also the popular:

Mayoral hopefuls interviewed by Neighbor Newspaper

The Oct. 4 issue of the Neighbor Newspaper ran a 400 word story about the four residents who want to lead East Point as its mayor.

Each of them talked about their priorities:

• Andrew Korta: "Korta said if elected, his main priorities would be to hire a skilled city manager and improve public safety.


• Clyde Mitchell: "Mitchell said financial stability and improved public safety are two of his priorities if elected."


• Jannquell Peters: "Peters said if elected, her priorities include community growth through small business incentives and lowering crime."


• Earnestine Pittman: "Pittman said her priorities if re-elected include expanding the city’s property tax base and downtown development."
