Georgia Gazette Thursday, May 8

Join host Rickey Bevington tonight for Georgia Gazette. We open the show with a cocktail conundrum: why drink-friendly Savannah faces controversy over the definition of “bar.” Then, cashing in on a nationwide peanut craze. With the economy slowing, some stores are reporting that more people are reach for peanut butter. 45% of U.S. peanuts come from Georgia, and farmers here plan on answering the demand. Then, Georgia’s first electric car company launches a new product. We test drive the new electric Whee-Go. In the second part of our show ... we profile great blues musician Duke Robillard, one of the headliners of this weekend's Blind Willie McTell blues festival in Thompson. And another look at this week’s Gazette Quiz. Not a member of GPB? Support Georgia Gazette with your membership! Call 1-800-222-4788 or CLICK HERE to join on-line.
