Cut Out the Junk - Mail, That Is

Cut Out the Junk - Mail, That Is

Who would like to get less junk mail in your mailbox? Me, me!! Here are a few ways you can reduce the number of unsolicited credit card offers, catalogs, yellow pages and random of other flotsam that arrives in your mail box daily.

But first a little reminder, that if you have donated to a group or purchased a product from a company, legally they can still send you mail until you specifically tell them not to.  The following options will help with the unsolicited selling and sharing of your name.

Another quick tip is to setup junk email account (think Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo) for doing requests like this just in case your email falls into the hands of a spammer.

Owner Says Grits Cafe Will Rebuild 'Bigger and Better'

Forsyth's Grits Cafe will rise again soon, a co-owner says.

This week, work crews are demolishing the burned-out restaurant so owners Wayne and Terri Wetendorf can rebuild on the site.

Today, Wetendorf said he's not sure when they'll be able to reopen.

He said it's taken longer than he expected to start demolishing and rebuilding.

But he said the popular downtown restaurant will come back "bigger and better."

The couple's upscale Southern Cafe was destroyed by a March fire that also damaged some nearby businesses.

They've run Grits in a 125-year-old building since 1999.

The fire put about 35 employees out of work.
