    Sweet City Chat is back — and there’s a lot to catch up on. After a few months away, Zac Moore sits down with City Manager Josh Beck to talk about what’s been happening across Vidalia.

We’re also recording this one from a new spot — Parlor’s new office on Meadows Street — before getting into a much bigger conversation about where Vidalia is today and where it’s headed.
