Five Things to Know Today, Feb. 18

It's not only the Friday before a long weekend, but the temps will hit the lower 70s today and every day until we head into the workweek on Tuesday. Does it get any better? Does anyone else feel a woohoo! coming on?

- While we're on the weather, let's just roll with it: The high will be about 71 today, with some wind. Click here for an extended forecast from the National Weather Service. 

- It's Arbor Day in Georgia! Celebrate with a tree planting at the historic Wells Brown House, 1037 Ridge Avenue, at noon. Not just any old tree, but a huge dogwood will be planted, according to Stone Mountain Mayor Patricia Wheeler. 

- Don't forget tomorrow's Walk and Wine in downtown Stone Mountain. Just sayin',  since there's no Five Things on Saturday to remind you.

- Check back with Stone Mountain Patch later this morning for news from last night's city council meeting, including planned changes to the way council members are elected. 

- What are you doing in Stone Mountain this evening, when the B-52s are in Athens, celebrating their 34th anniversary? And if you're going, I'm even more outraged. Because I can't be there.
