In this episode of ATL: All Things Local, hosts Adam Mincey (Mincey Homes) and Jeff Goddard (Jasmine Mortgage Team) take a trip to Smyrna, Georgia, one of Metro Atlanta’s most dynamic suburban cities.
From its 1830s Methodist revival camp beginnings to its transformation into a thriving Cobb County hub, Smyrna offers small-town charm with big-city access. Adam and Jeff unpack the history, the homes, and the highlights — including the Silver Comet Trail, Nickajack Covered Bridge, The Battery, and the city’s top-rated schools.
You’ll also hear how Dobbins Air Force Base, Lockheed Martin, and Truist Park shaped its economy, plus how today’s real estate market is balancing affordability and growth.
🎧 Tune in to learn why Smyrna remains one of the most livable, accessible, and investment-worthy areas in Metro Atlanta.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
