Russell Mitchell of BrookhavenYES answers five questions from Patch.
Brookhaven Patch talks about the issue of cityhood with Russell Mitchell of BrookhavenYES, who has been meeting with residents about cityhood every Tuesday evening at Verde: So you've been meeting people at Verde on Tuesday nights for some weeks now.

There is typically not a large showing of this demographic at the town hall and civic association meetings so I want to have a forum for information gathering that appeals to them. Verde is a popular spot for just about everyone in the area and the turnout and support has been great so far. A new city will…

Verde Taqueria passes secret shopping with flying colors
At Verde Taqueria, going green in a whole new way has never been more fun. From the warm and inviting staff to the upbeat rhythms that tickle the ears, the ambiance beckons the seekers of sustenance to advance. The staff is all smiles - real smiles, not those smiles that disappear the minute that the server faces a different direction. Kudos to the bartender, Jaylene for her perseverance despite the likely low tip, low activity night. She was upbeat, positive, engaging and generous despite serving a pitiful bar order for a Shirley Temple. C'est moi! She shared that she was long overdue for a vacation, so help this Georgia girl find her way to a sandy beach with a nice tip or two. The rest of the staff demonstrated similar behaviors. They…
