Good Morning! On this day in 1900, Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone with the Wind, was born in Atlanta. Her novel was published in 1936 and sold 1 million copies in its first six months in print. Mitchell was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1937, and the book was made into an Oscar-winning movie in 1939.

Roswell Advances Redevelopment Plan

Roswell approved an agreement to redevelop the aging Roswell Town Center into a 47-acre mixed-use district featuring shops, housing, offices, and public spaces.

The project, led by Morris & Fellows Ventures, aims to transform the former mall site into a walkable hub for living, dining, and community gatherings.

City leaders say the redevelopment will boost economic growth and reimagine one of Roswell’s most visible corridors.

Food Banks Step Up to Assist Families

With federal SNAP benefits delayed by the shutdown, metro Atlanta food banks are ramping up aid for struggling families.

Groups like the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Hosea Helps, and HOPE Atlanta are expanding emergency meal programs and enrollment help.

In Mableton, business owner Cheri Bailey hosted a free dinner for 300 neighbors, saying, “When the system fails, love steps in.”

Right Whales Return Early to Georgia Coast

Two endangered North Atlantic right whales were spotted off Savannah and Hilton Head, weeks ahead of their usual migration schedule.

The early arrival prompted Georgia wildlife officials to warn boaters to slow down and report sightings to avoid deadly vessel strikes.

Aerial surveys begin Dec. 1 as researchers monitor the rare species, whose population has risen slightly to an estimated 384 whales.

Washington Wants Control Over Your Money. Here’s How to Opt Out.

The Federal Reserve has printed $4.8 trillion in the past three years. Your savings account pays 0.5% while inflation runs at 8%. The math doesn’t work in your favor.

A small group of Americans has discovered a way to completely bypass the traditional banking system. They’re using decentralized finance to become their own banks, collecting the same transaction fees that JPMorgan and Citigroup earn: 12-20% monthly returns, regardless of whether markets go up or down.

Tan Gera, a former Wall Street investment banker, now teaches this strategy through Decentralized Masters. Over 3,000 people have positioned their wealth outside government reach.

No permission needed. No middleman. Just complete financial autonomy.

While everyone else is asking the government for permission, you can start becoming your own bank today.

Why Smart Crypto Investors Never Use Coinbase (Where They Buy Instead):

By the time crypto hits Coinbase, it’s often already priced for mainstream buyers. Institutional investors access many assets months earlier on “Native Markets,” giving them exposure before public listings.

These markets can provide early access to projects that may not yet be visible to retail traders—and that early window is where some investors look for outsized returns.

Watch the free training video to learn how investors access Native Markets and the considerations involved.
