    "The annual trick or treat on Grand Avenue is huge. The Cornelia UMC does donation based Wednesday night suppers at 5. The park is a great place to walk or take your dog (fenced dog park). If you like Pokémon Go it’s also a great area to play the game. "

    "No leash laws in Cory limits can cause a nuisance and pose risk to your own pets. While there is a local dog park, there aren’t sidewalks in neighborhoods so walking a dog can be dangerous. "
