On Labor Day weekend, Art in the Park will take place on Marietta’s historic square. Not familiar with it? It’s a juried fine arts show, and it features works by 130 artists of all sorts—photographers, potters, sculptors, jewelers, painters, and the list goes on.
We love to browse, but my kids especially enjoy the Interactive Art Alley, which is … [more]
I’ve always loved history. History tests? Not so much. But history? When told well, it’s like listening to your grandparents spin tales of what life was like way back when.
Whenever I’m on the Marietta Square, I think about taking a trolley tour—the hour-long ride includes the square; confederate, national & city cemeteries; antebellum homes (from the street); and the … [more]
When I finalize my plans for Monday, I need to schedule my day so that I can grab a free meal while I’m out:
On Monday, September 7, from 11:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Pizzeria Venti is giving away free slices of pizza. I love it when the fine print is this basic: Limit one one-topping slice per customer. That’s it. … [more]
I’ve yet to make it downtown for the Dragon*Con parade, but this may be the year. I know my kids will get a kick out of it. Shoot, they love the high school homecoming parade that marches through our neighborhood each fall. Add in costumed characters of all sorts, and they’ll be in awe.
The parade starts at 10:00 … [more]
On Saturday, September 5, grab a blanket & a lawn chair & head to the Village Pavilion at the Mall of Georgia for a free Movies Under the Stars event. Live music starts at 6:00 p.m. when The Ron Johnsons take the stage, and the movie, Bring it On: Fight to the Finish, starts at dusk.
The Mall … [more]
It’s back: The Decatur Book Festival will take place this weekend, September 4-6, in Downtown Decatur (click here for a map).
Like last year, there are a ton of free events taking place, and there’s no way that I can do it justice. I’ll hit the highlights here (a.k.a. what I’m excited about seeing), but it’s worth taking … [more]
Want to go to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Lawrenceville on the cheap? Take advantage of this deal to buy one, get one admission free, which I found in this month’s Points North. There’s no restriction listed other than the second ticket needs to be of equal or lesser value, so the free admission should apply to … [more]
It’s almost the first Thursday of the month, which means it’s time for two art strolls:

When my family goes to Red Top Mountain to walk the trails, we pack a picnic & eat near the lodge. And every time we’re there, I’m reminded of how nice it’d be to stay in the lodge (aaaah….air conditioning)—we could hike or bike the trails, take a boat out on the lake, & play some tennis while taking some … [more]
