SMYRNA, Ga. — Roughly seven months after an unusually deep freeze set over metro Atlanta, a Smyrna town fixture that was damaged has now been replaced.

The late-December chill last year froze over the fountain in the center of Smyrna Market Village, creating a rather attractive formation but also irreparably breaking the fountain.

"The Smyrna Market Village fountain is back!" the post stated.
