When I was coming here for an event I was told by a person to park in "parking lot E" which I…read morethought maybe was the university's nickname for the place but then I looked on google map and there is...literally a parking lot E! Eureka! As far as I know during regular business hours its only for faculty and staff only but in the evenings, weekends and when the Bailey Center has a performance guest can park here for free but don't quote me on that... you should definitely call the Bailey Center first to double check. Their number is (470) 578-6650. The parking lot is on the left side of the Bailey center if you're looking at it on google map. I've used the parking lot on the weekends to meet up with folks at the Wilson Anex Center before and for evening choir practice. Pretty convenient spot except for when it rains... you have to walk on the shooshy grass medians and get your shoes all muddy...

The Marietta Square is a destination! Cool events happen and lots of restaurants to choose from so…read moreyou can spend an entire day! On my visit, I was lucky to be there for the free, "Chalk Art Event." Many artists were doing original chalk art while you stroll by and the artist abilities were spectacular! Amazing artists drew on the streets in the square and it is an event worth checking out! I believe it only happens one time per yr? The square was blocked off from traffic and art booths and food vendors were available for shoppers. All the vendors and artists were friendly and would take time to have a conversation with spectators. Check the online calendar to find out what event you can attend, as it's sure to be a good time and usually free! Parking can be rough just attend early and go to the parking deck to avoid a hassle.

One of the most frustrating thing about coming to the square is finding parking here. It use not be this way but now on the weekends it's impossible to find street parking so having the city offer up some free parking space is really a welcoming. My only complaint is the parking decks are super dark at night and the spaces are super narrow like they were made for compact cars...I suppose they can't do anything about the spaces but they could fix the lights though...

There are about 5 parking spots in front of this park but you have to know how to parallel park if you want to park up front here. Since I live in the burgs and only parallel parked once (when I took my driver's test) I parked over by The Depot and walked on over here...both places have free parking. This is Downtown Kennesaw...you can guess what this historical marker is about? You guess right...The General....it says.... About 6 A.M., April 12, 1862, a Federal spy & contraband merchant, James J. Andrews, of Ky., together with 18 soldiers & one civilian of Ohio, seized the locomotive "General", & three box cars while the train-crew & passengers were breakfasting at the Lacy Hotel. Intending to sabotage the State R. R. between Atlanta & Chattanooga, the raiders steamed N. to destroy track & burn bridges.They were foiled in this attempt by the persistent pursuit of Capt. W. A. Fuller, Conductor of the train; Jeff Cain, Fireman; & Anthony Murphy, of the Atlanta R. R. shops, after a chase of eight-seven miles. 033-42 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1954

From…read morethe minute I pulled up the guys staffing this valet were nothing but professional and courteous. I parked and retrieved my car at least a dozen times during my stay and every time no matter the valet attendant it was the same great service. When you initially park they ask you for your cell phone number and text you a link. Inside of that link it takes you to their internal site where you can click on retrieving your car. The great thing is it tells you exactly where you line up in retrieval. I will tell you it never took more than 5 minutes usually less to retrieve my car. In most cases I would click on the retrieval button and before I even got downstairs my car was already ready. What I also liked is the fact is each time I was met with "Have a great day", "Welcome back to the Double Tree", " How is your evening going" etc...a true class act.

They use fake reviews to boost their ratings. They have a janky app with pop ups and is confusing and cumbersome to use to delay you from paying. And if you walk away from your car, they will boot it within 1 minute. $75 to remove it. The parking lot attendant is hiding in an unmarked vehicle car waiting. When I called to have the boot removed and told them I paid for parking, they told me I paid at 8:36 and they booted my car before that. I have a text showing that I texted someone I was meeting at 8:37 when I got to the restaurant and a screen shot of maps showing that the restaurant is a 2 min walk from the garage. They had to literally boot my car as soon as I walked out of the garage.

The Sturgis Library is really fantastic! Not only is it open to all KSU current students, alumni…read moreand staff but also members of the community. If you live in the are you can join the Friend of the library for $35 or $100 for a lifetime membership. It's a bargain for what you get and the rates have been the same for at least 20 years or more. Not only can you borrow any books in the library but you can also request an interlibrary loan which allows you to borrow books from other libraries in the GA university system. I've been here many times. Not only do they have books in English but they also have books in other languages such as Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese. The staff here are also awesome! Lots of fun to talk to and always go overboard to help me with any projects I'm undertaking... As far as parking in concern it use to be you can park in the closest parking lot but those days are over. I've heard the tickets are steep these days $75. You definitely want to park over in the visitor's parking but the prices aren't too bad... the first 30 minutes are free, $3 per hour. Here is a map of all the vistor's parking areas https://parking.kennesaw.edu/docs/kennesaw_visitor_parking_map.pdf and as you can see you want to park in the parking lot near the student center if you are visiting the library. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to do research...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!…read more I wanted to review this library because it is open to the public and came through with documents that we could not locate at other libraries. I think that it is a great asset that many non-students are not aware exists for their use as well. We were looking for a copy of my husband's great, great grandfather's will. We had tried to get the book from the Atlanta library on two occasions. The first time, they sent the wrong book and the second time as we appeared in person, they stated that the book was "missing". In the mean time, I decided to call the Kennesaw State LIbrary. I was able to find the book, after some persistence ( it did not come up by title, but author so be aware of this) and was told that I could come in as a guest to make copies. I would have to get a K card and load it up like a debit card and would be good to go. We arrived at the library on Monday afternoon and proceeded to get the card, (the machine is in the library), but there was a glitch. My husband was sent to another building to address the problem. While he was gone, the sweet and helpful library assistant retrieved the book. Twenty minutes later my husband arrives with an assistant who helps us carefully make the copies we needed. Apparently, they weren't able to correct the card problem so she used her code to assist us. We obtained exactly what we needed and my husband was elated!!. My husband is a very simple, patient and humble guy. He had been looking for these documents for quite a while when I decided to quietly assist him. He was VERY appreciative and anyone who makes my husband happy is definitely tops in my book. Thank you.

I really didn't know exactly what I expected to find so, I had no agenda but, to get a feel for the geography and maybe discern a reason they would head for Texas in the 1850s. Marietta is north of Atlant in Cobb county. I found a thriving metropolis surrounding verdant hills with huge trees. Looking closer I found traces of the old Marietta. Before General Sherman burned it in 1864 during the civil war. There are only two original buildings downtown left from that destruction. One is now the Marietta History Museum. I'll cover it in another review but, it is one of the best small museums I've ever visited. Visiting the Marietta City Cemetery gave me a feel for the Old. It's on a hill close to downtown and I could imagine from here, the coalescing of a small dusty town forming in the distance. In that town, my great-grandfather xs 3 became the 4th Sherriff in 1838. After spending a day exploring the area I didn't come away with anything you would consider "concrete". However, I do have the satisfaction of knowing they were here in the early days of pushing westward of our country. That's exciting to me. Especially in light of the fact that I'm sitting close to where they settled in Texas and I do know that history very well. My current day assessment of Marietta for those possibly interested in moving there. I found it to be a great little city that I myself would live in. It's got a special feeling that's hard to put in words. I talked to a lot of people and most are from somewhere else. Marietta is a great place to live,work,retire they said one after the other.
