Loganville’s dessert scene is getting even more vibrant with the arrival of Michoacán a pedir de boca Loganville.

This new Michoacán-style shop will celebrate its official ribbon cutting on Friday, April 10, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at 4920 Atlanta Highway.

Rooted in the ice cream traditions of Tocumbo, Michoacán, the shop brings a beloved menu of paletas, mangonadas, ice cream, nachos, and colorful Mexican snacks to the city.

Unlike typical ice cream counters, Michoacán-style dessert spots turn every visit into a flavorful experience, blending creamy treats with fruit, spice, and creativity.

Loganville residents can expect unique, fruit-forward desserts and savory snacks, appealing to families and adventurous foodies alike.

This opening highlights the city's growing appetite for diverse, culturally rich food options—and everyone is invited to join the celebration.

Dozens gathered in Walton County this weekend to honor the memory of the Moore’s Ford lynching, marking 80 years since two Black couples were murdered at the Oconee County line.  

The event combined somber reflection, historical education, and a renewed call for justice, coinciding with the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death for added resonance.  

Attendees participated in a reenactment at the original site, visiting key graves and churches tied to the victims.  

The lynching, which remains one of America’s most infamous unsolved crimes, involved Roger and Dorothy Malcom and George and Mae Murray Dorsey, who were brutally killed after being ambushed by a mob in 1946.  

Despite decades of investigations, no one has ever been charged, fueling continued advocacy from leaders like Tyrone Brooks and local NAACP representatives.  

For many, the day underscored the need for remembrance, ongoing civic engagement, and ensuring this difficult history is never forgotten.

Charles Archibald Moore III, a 33-year-old former cheer coach from Loganville, has been sentenced to 25 years after admitting to multiple charges involving the sexual exploitation of minors.

On April 3, 2026, Moore pleaded guilty to offenses including sexual exploitation of children, invasion of privacy, grooming a minor, and sending obscene material electronically to minors. The first 12 years of his sentence will be served in prison.

The case began in 2024, following allegations involving a 16-year-old girl. Investigators say Moore filmed a sexual act with her in a parked car behind Loganville’s Starbucks and later sent the video to the victim.

Moore, who previously coached at Walnut Grove High School and Star Athletics in Winder, was arrested twice as the investigation uncovered further accusations.

Authorities emphasized that additional victims may exist and encouraged others to come forward.
