MARIETTA — Mayor Steve Tumlin couldn’t be prouder of his city for pulling together during the snowstorm, although those feelings of pride don’t extend to his driving skills.
The mayor’s Ford pickup truck has 4-wheel drive, but that didn’t help him when he headed home Tuesday evening to his Whitlock Heights neighborhood and hit a sheet of ice.
“I slid in and just barely touched a car. It wasn’t like a wreck. The only thing that got damaged was my ego,” Tumlin said. “So I was sitting there and a guy came out and gave me a scarf, and I walked a mile and a half in loafers up the hill.”
