Break 1: MOG – Peggy Slappy
STORY 1: Jimmy Carter Library
The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library launched a new exhibition, "Holidays at the Carter White House," unveiling never-before-seen artifacts. Among the highlights are the 1979 Hanukkah menorah (used in the first presidential Celebration of the Festival of Lights), a 500-year-old nativity painting, Christmas stockings, and various exclusive items. The exhibit features a Victorian-style Christmas tree mirroring the one at the Carter White House. Moreover, a grand 15-foot tree showcases a menorah, alongside a Kwanzaa communal cup and candles, symbolizing diverse holiday traditions. This captivating exhibition not only displays historical artifacts but also represents the inclusive spirit of holiday celebrations observed at the Carter White House, offering a unique glimpse into presidential festivities and cultural diversity.

STORY 3: Traffic
During Thanksgiving weekend, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will temporarily halt lane closures on major roads and interstates near shopping areas to ease holiday traffic. Effective from Sunday at 10 pm, Nov. 26, this proactive step aims to improve traffic flow. Similar restrictions will apply during Christmas and New Year's holidays. While construction-related closures will pause, caution is advised near work zones, as some long-term closures might persist for safety. Incident-related lane closures could occur at any time. Drivers should stay updated via 511ga.org, follow road signs, and be cautious around work zones. Heavy traffic is expected near Mall of Georgia on Nov. 26 from 2 to 7 p.m., so drivers are urged to stay alert, buckle up, plan ahead, and obey Move-Over laws for emergency vehicles' safety.

Break 2: GCPS – TOM WAGES – DTL
STORY 4: TRAVEL
Holiday travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, beware of challenges this season. Parking shortages, hour-long security lines, and construction disruptions await. To navigate smoothly, arrive 3 hours early during peak times, expect parking hurdles due to ongoing construction, and prep for long bag lines. Security delays may occur due to lane closures and upgrades. Opt for alternative parking like MARTA or reservations at off-airport lots for a stress-free experience. Pack snacks, as concession lines might be lengthy. Stay updated on security wait times for a hassle-free journey at the world's busiest airport.
STORY 5: WEATHER
Expect partly cloudy skies during the day with a high of 61°F. Winds from the west will be around 5 to 10 mph. Sunrise will be at 7:18 am, with sunset at 5:28 pm. As night falls, anticipate considerable cloudiness and a decrease in temperature to around 45°F. Winds will be light and variable from the west-northwest at about 4 mph.
