Valley Flowers’ 10 delivery drivers will once again be making their stops while wearing tuxedos.For those looking for something other than roses to send there are other and more exotic choices.

Marietta Square florist asks for help after brazen midday theft - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Florist K. Mike Whittle’s shop sits just off the Marietta Square, beside First Baptist Church, across the street from St. James Episcopal Church and down the block from First Presbyterian Church. Someone who came into the shop on Monday apparently missed the bit about thou shalt not steal. Whittle told police that he walked out of his office into the shop’s main area and discovered a man behind the counter about 12:25 p.m. The man told Whittle several times “I didn’t take nothing,” then rushed out. Whittle was able to take several photos as the man exited the building, then discovered cash missing from the register. “I think he had scoped the place out,” Whittle said Tuesday afternoon, just as Loud Security Systems was completing a major upgrade. The man appeared to be keeping an eye on a staircase, and was surprised when Whittle emerged from an office to the side of the main lobby.“I said, ‘Excuse me, what are you doing?’” Whittle said. “I don’t... https://www.ajc.com/news/marietta-square-florist-asks-for-help-after-brazen-midday-theft/jcV2sbS2Rx0K6sDYUwMLrM/
