So, have you all decided what you're doing for New Year's Eve? Are you staying in Marietta or are you heading to Atlanta for the Peach Drop? I've always said that have to experience the Drop at least once in your life if you're living in (or around) Atlanta for any substantial amount of time. But, whatever it is you decide to do, be safe! We don't want... [Read more...]

According to wikipedia.org, "A New Year's resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous." With this definition being used, do you believe that New Year's resolutions are just superstitious traditions that have no real meaning to most people?... [Read more...]

Hard to believe that 2011 is just over a week away; it seems like it just turned 2010 yesterday. I tend to party hardy around this time, but I think I'm going to just hang out around the apartment this year. You can venture to Atlanta for plenty of traffic and packed establishments or you can celebrate right here in Marietta! There's plenty to do... I... [Read more...]

It's Friday and you know what that means everyone! New releases in the movie theaters and this weekend is going to be a BIG one! Tron: Legacy, The Fighter, How Do You Know, Yogi Bear and a few others are all opening today, not to mention Black Swan. It opened in select theaters two weeks ago and in Atlanta at two theaters last weekend, where I saw it twice--once... [Read more...]

It's a little warmer than it was yesterday. It's 29° today. I don't like saying this, but I think it's going to be a very rough winter for us here in Georgia; it doesn't usually flurry until January or February. And with the temperature being so, so unforgiving, it has officially become cold season in Metro Atlanta. What's next? Cold prevention? Well,... [Read more...]

It's the holiday season and that means it's time to participate in all of the festivities on Marietta Square or what I like to call it, Merry-etta Square. As always, there's plenty going on during this time of the year, like42nd Street at The Strand as I mentioned in my previous post. And it's never the wrong season for a haunted ghost tour of Marietta, right? Well,... [Read more...]

There's always something going on in Marietta Square and the holiday season is no exception! Through the 19th of December, The Atlanta Lyric Theatre will be performing their rendition of the Tony Award winning 42nd Street at the newly renovated Strand Theatre. The company is celebrating their 30th anniversary of operation and has come a long way since... [Read more...]

For the first time that I can remember December 1st actually feels like December 1st. It was cold this morning and it's still cold this afternoon. I walked out the house not realizing how cold it would be (I'm the guy that doesn't check the weather before stepping outside) and swiftly stepped back under the threshold. I picked up a sweater and threw it on.... [Read more...]

I've come to realize that the best part of fall/winter time is the football broadcasted throughout the week. I think it's what keeps me sane because waking up before the sun rises and walking to my car in the dark in the evening (and it's only 5:00 p.m.) really puts a damper on your day. I'm thankful for the sunny weekends and football! What could make that... [Read more...]
