This is a much sleepier Northern suburb of Atlanta than the nearby Doraville and Chamblee and Buford. There's a little less going on. Yet it has 5 times the population of CH and DO and four times as much as Buford. Suburban sprawl. This burb is bigger than most American cities. Dunwoody has half as many people as the City Of Buffalo, for example. Nearby highlights: In neighbouring Doraville, Sweet Hut Bakery where you can hang out late night and people watch and get fat, and Taco Veloz which is, well, not as speedy as the name suggests, but amphetamines are. In neighbouring Chamblee, go to the Chinatown Food Court, get Lamb Cumin with homemade noodles at Chongqing, and get Lamb Cumin sticks at Tsingtao brother in the same court. Further north, get a Brown Sugar Milk Tea at Snowflake.

The YMCA is pretty nice and I like working out here. The city smells like trees and freshness, unless you're next to the 285 in which case, well, Allah help you.

Yet not too far that you can still enjoy the amenities of the city life. The city itself boasts of a little over 48,000 residents with a median income of about $107,000.

I prefer Joan's Creek to John's Crack, but John will have to do…read more John's Creek is an absolutely beautiful suburb of leafy Atlanta Georgia which is way way north of the town - in fact so far north that you can drive for quite a long time especially in traffic and still not get here. There are some cool ethnic places - sort of a spillover from Chinatown - and some cool local places as well. I like the suburb and it seems like a very friendly if slightly expensive place to live. I'm sure that within another 20 years there will be 7 or 8 suburbs even further out than these. There's a large Asian population here, and nearly 100,000 people if you include all the illegals in the spare rooms. That's a joke by the way. And I used to live in a spare room meant for illegals so settle down.

There are too many local vendors here and not enough vendors from outside of Marietta. Most of these BBQ vendors are close enough to me. I'd rather see BBQ vendors from other areas besides Marietta. Also what's with all the ice cream and cold dessert vendors? It seems every where I turn, there's an ice cream vendor or King of Pops. Total overkill. Another overkill was the number of bands. There was one on stage. There was one across from Marietta pizza company. There was one across from a Local restaurant. It was like Battle of the Bands. Placement of the children's things could have been better laid out. The mechanical bull ride was in the middle of the street, creating a pinch point between the vendors and it, leaving narrow gaps to get around. They should have put the mechanical bull off to the side, leaving the street open like they did to the rest of the Square. Overall this year's event was lackluster. Holding this event past Labor Day is not wise. If it was during the summer, I'm sure it would be much better...especially for all the various frozen dessert vendors.

Out of the 640 acres approximately 122 acres of it is listed on the National Historic Registry. (Interestingly Roswell was once part of Cobb County but the locals complained that the county seat at the time was 4 hours away by horse and carriage so they petition the state for their own government. This was approved in February 16, 1854.) The population is about 90,000 or so. The average income is over $100,000. But since this is Yelp.

Cumming, Georgia is a small Forsyth County town where lake life, suburban sprawl, and old-school…read moreSouthern quirks all coexist without arguing too much. The downtown square is compact but charming, the fairgrounds are reliably sticky with funnel-cake energy, and the traffic on GA-400 into Atlanta will remind you that progress comes with brake lights. The town also carries an unexpected bit of constitutional swagger thanks to Smith v. City of Cumming, the federal case that affirmed the public's right to record police. Not every place gets to shape First Amendment law while also selling boiled peanuts by the pound. Overall, I found Cumming to be pleasant, mildly chaotic, and historically spicier than it looks. A town where you can enjoy the lake, grab a biscuit, and stand in a place that helped define modern case law. [Review 1323 of 2026 - 970 in Georgia - 26501 overall]

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ADAIRSVILLE!…read more The city of Adairsville is located approximately 60 miles north of Alpharetta and just minutes from Cartersville. It is a small city that has a population of just under 5000 residents. We recently visited to attend the Great Locomotive Chase Festival which was celebrating its 48th year. The star of the festival is the historic train depot also known as the Age of Steam Museum. It is a "must see" destination for those who enjoy Civil War History or just appreciate historic structures. As you walk past the depot, you will notice the cobbled street which is great shape and just adds to the charm of this city. Among the shops, you will find a general store, an art studio/gallery, antique stores, a clothing store and city hall. What you need to know is that every single building on the square is of historic significance and just a gem in itself. Every single space that I entered was more stunning than the previous one with unique arches, brick walls, interesting ceilings and other great architectural features. It was really challenging to focus on inventory because I was so busy looking, up, down and all around like a kid at Disneyland. It was a veritable feast for the eyes and I lapped it up! In addition to stores on the square you will also notice the police department and City Hall. Both businesses were all dressed up in fall splendor and looked very cute. If you decide to visit, you will want to do so when there is no festival or major event because the square will be blocked by temporary structures and lots of people. You will want to visit when it is relatively quiet so that you can take it all in. It was a pleasure visiting this community because everyone was just so warm, welcoming and easily engaged. I loved it and definitely recommend a visit the next time you are in the area or want to get away to Mayberry.

The Marietta Garden Center, located just outside of Marietta Square, is based around a historic,…read moretwo-story Victorian house situated on 3.5 beautiful acres. The home was constructed around 1850 and had a handful of owners before being donated to the Marietta Council of Garden Clubs in 1966, who today operates the property as an event facility. I recently attended a wedding at the Garden Center and had a wonderful time. Surrounded by trees on all sides, the home is in a residential neighborhood filled with old elegant houses. The bride and the groom discovered the site over the Internet and when they visited in person, knew immediately it would be the spot for their wedding. Coincidentally, one of the guests at the wedding attended his sister's wedding at the same Garden Center over 20 years ago. There were about 150 guests. The wedding ceremony took place outside in front of the gazebo. A tent with a stage, dance floor, and tables and chairs was setup in the green space next to the gazebo. Inside, the first floor of the house was open to everyone. This space included sitting rooms, the living room, kitchen, and a large open area with additional table seating. The outside-catered food was also located inside. The Garden Center does not provide catering services, so catering must come from a third party. The house was quaint and exquisite and reminded me of a traditional, old-fashioned Southern home. There were large patios on each level which gave the place an open, airy, and outdoorsy feel. A closed-off, steel spiral staircase went from the first floor porch to the second floor balcony. Plenty of parking was available next to the Garden Center and across the street.
