Baldinos Sub pavement caved in and lost their dumpster.
Crap. I hope Baldinos itself doesn't collapse as well. I don't think they'll reopen if it does.

The water main break in DeKalb County is impacting about 750 customers in nearby Henry County and could last through the weekend.

Henry County also said it expected the main break to impact fire department operations, saying it has notified the emergency services that it expects “marginal fire flow protection during this period of time.”

Volume of water from early morning water main break caused a huge sinkhole to open up behind businesses along Buford Highway. GaDOT crews will soon assess road condition.

So he's blaming Thurmond for illegal activities and Thurmond, of course, totally denies it, calling him a slanderer.

There are going to be a lot of questions coming from this water fiasco.

Word is DeKalb County could be under a water boil advisory for the rest of the week.

So what do restaurants do that serve salads and food they have to wash? Do they boil water then use that?

Panera is open and serving, just said no sodas or tea. Guess cause the ice machine and drink machine they can't boil?
