• Johns Creek council renames Newtown Park amphitheater (appenmedia.com) — Johns Creek's Newtown Park amphitheater has been officially renamed Founders Amphitheater, replacing former state Rep. Mark Burkhalter's name after a council vote this summer. City leaders say the new name could help attract sponsors, while the change also aligns with a policy against naming facilities after living people and clarifies how the venue was originally designated.
