Andy Morris held the Marietta City Council Ward 4 seat from 2002 to 2005.
Former Councilman Andy Morris reclaimed his old Ward 4 seat on the Marietta City Council. Morris ran against Patti Pearlberg in a special election Tuesday to fill the unexpired term of former Councilman Van Pearlberg. According to unofficial results from the Georgia Secretary of State's office, Morris defeated Patti Pearlberg, 1,465 to 1,082 or 57.43 to 42.41 percent.

The Cobb elections board plans to hold the special ballot for the Marietta City Council on July 31.
The Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration approved one special Marietta election Monday and did all it could to prepare for another one. As expected, the elections board agreed to hold a special election July 31 to fill the Ward 1 seat on the Marietta Board of Education. That’s already the day of the primary for state and local elections, so city won't have to pay for an additional election. First-term board member Logan Weber announced his resignation last month because he’s moving to Nashville, TN, for a new job, The Marietta Daily Journal reported. The winner of the special election will serve until Dec. 31, 2013, the expiration of Weber’s term. Elections Director Janine Eveler was hoping the board also could schedule a …

Irvan Alan Pearlberg is once again bringing laughter to Marietta Square.
Van Pearlberg steps out of his roles as Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney and Marietta City Councilman and onto the stage Friday. "Anytime you have the opportunity to do something fun and work for the community and raise money for a worthy cause, it's a win-win situation," Pearlberg said. Pearlberg will join a cast of community leaders in presenting Neil Simon's The Odd Couple at the Strand Theatre. The Odd Couple pits the uptight neat-freak Felix (Bert Reeves, attorney at Turner, Bachman & Garrett LLC) against the broody laze of Oscar (Pearlberg) in a dangerous arena: living together as newly-singled roommates. "Oscar is a cigar smoking, gambling sports writer," Pearlberg said. "He lies to his wife, gambles, owes everybody money …

A cast of community leaders bring the story of mismatched roommates and a lot of humor to the Earl Smith Strand Theatre this January with Neil Simon's The Odd Couple.

This year the cast will be back onstage for two weekends with The Odd Couple. “Neil Simon's The Odd Couple is one of the universally humorous plays ever written,” Director Earl Reece said in the press release. ”The Strand cast for The Odd Couple consists of some of the most fun and funniest people in Cobb County.
