Superstar Wrestlers Coming To Rome

Some superstar wrestlers are on their way to Floyd County. 
 
TNA Impact Wrestling World Tour will be coming to Rome on June 7th, bringing with them the stars of Spike TV’s Impact Wrestling.
 
The show will broadcast live from the Forum, with notable names like Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray and “The Cowboy” James Storm, fighting it out before what will likely be a sold-out audience. 
 
Tickets start at $20 and are available at forumevents.org.

Rome Myrtle Hill Tour App Available

It may seem sort of macabre, but Myrtle Hill Cemetery has become a popular tourist spot in Rome.
 
It’s so popular in fact that the Greater Rome Convention & Visitors Bureau is mixing technology with good old fashioned storytelling to bring cemetery visitors a novel experience.  
 
An app that guides tourists through the historic cemetery will be released for mobile devices on May 3rd.
 
It's pretty much a a guided tour—–guided through GPS. It takes you to about 65 different sites. Overall we cover almost 2,000 people. It has photos; both historical and of the grave so you know you have the right grave. But, then it dives into that person’s life and that site—and it tells you everything you’d ever want to know about it through audio.
 
The application will be available for IPhone, Android and IPad.

Chattooga Couple Injured In Explosion

A Chattooga County couple were injured when a 250 gallon propane tank exploded at their home.

69-year-old Charles Daniel Smith reportedly hit the side of the tank with his lawnmower. The tank shifted and rolled, then ignited.

Sheriff Mark Schrader said he thinks Smith and his 74-year-old wife, Martha, may have tried to stop the runaway tank, before it exploded.

Both received burns on their hands and Charles Smith's face and beard were burned. A nearby pickup truck also was destroyed in the fire. Both were transported to a Rome hospital for treatment.
