A nice sleepy suburb of Atlanta as part of the massive sprawling hundreds and hundreds of miles of…read moresuburbs that this city now boasts. This particular suburb has perhaps the most interesting name out of all of them. Nobody can decide if Cumming has 5,000 people (official) or over 100,000 (that's people that technically don't live in Cumming, but it's the closest city so they kind of do). How bizarre. What a sprawl this area is. Full ATL food recs list: - Get a Gyro at Nick's Greek To Go. - Ghetto Burger from Ann's Snack Bar - Fish Tacos at El Rey Del Taco - Brown Butter Gelato from Honeysuckle in the market - Bakery treats from Sweet Hut - Brown Sugar Milk Tea from Snowflake - Chongqing in Chamblee for Cumin Lamb w/handmade noodle' - Tsingtao next to it for Lamb Cumin Sticks - Flavors of Chicago, Lucky Dog, Chicago Delights for Chi-dogs Despite being a Burb of ATL it's 40 miles away. Yes, like I said. Sprawl AF. Oh I'm being called away. Hold on, I'm cumming.

We stopped here on our way back to Atlanta from Tallulah Falls. We parked on the grass shoulder of…read moreUS-23. Then we walked up the steep hill to see the buses. Walter, the man who owns the property, explained that we could look at the buses along the fence for free. If we wanted to see the buses inside the lot, we would have to pay $10. The buses along the outside of the fence, that you can see from the highway, are more family friendly. He explained that the buses inside the property are explicit. He was very clear that he didn't care about the money and was more than fine to let us just wander along the outside. He was also very clear that we should not attempt to vandalize the buses or cars or else he would use us as target practice (and we believed him). We were lucky that some artists were working on buses as we visited! It was like a 10 minute stop. It's a great place to stop to break up a drive!

"Beer is normally taken internally." Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)…read more Kudos to Duluth for their 1st Beerfest! The area where the festival took place was beautiful. The tents were laid out well (not too crowded) with a great selection of booths. Most of the major Atlanta/Georgia breweries were well-represented (Red Hare, Monday Night, Sweetwater, Terrapin, to name a few). The VIP area was well sponsored by Yelp with fun games/activities (cards, cornhole and a giant Jenga set) and free schwag! Plus, there were some fancier beers and free food to be had. Plus, a free Woodchuck backpack and cool 48oz beer stein. VIP also allowed you into the event 1 hour early to get your beer on before the masses arrived. Also, we had some food trucks for lining the stomach (much needed with all that beer) - Tex's Tacos, a frozen custard truck (forgot the name), and Slope's BBQ. Plus, the Frozen Pints team was out with beer ice cream as well as Happy Hour Confections (boozy cupcakes and brownies). Unlike other beerfests, this was a tamer (less sauced) crowd. It was quite enjoyable despite the humidity and threat of rain. Very well done, Duluth.

Duluth has a pleasant downtown area with some cute shops, restaurants, and a nice outdoor green…read more The Duluth Beerfest (held the first Saturday of every June, I've been told) is a really nice way to enjoy this area. There were over 100 different types of beer available for tasting, far too many to try them all! Because of this, I decided to focus just on comparing the dark beers and ciders; my boyfriend was more adventurous (or less focused?) and tried them randomly. I found the people pouring to be very pleasant and informative, whether they were volunteers or representing their own brewing companies. There were also booths for non-beer places, like Costco, the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Roller Derby team, or Dave & Busters. And Yelp, too, of course, which had the best booth of all with a variety of free swag, cornhole, and life-size Jenga! The festival had some fun, festival-appropriate bands playing, too. My only criticism would be the at-the-gate price of $45. Even with 8-ounce pours, it'd be hard to drink anywhere near that amount of beer, so make sure to purchase tickets ahead of time and save $10. The price did ensure that there were never long lines at any of the booths. VIP tickets got you some premium beers (with high ABV and/or high prices), food like veggie platters and chicken fingers, and a wicked cool monstrous glass beer stein, as well as an hour to enjoy the festival before the general admission crowd. It was a beautiful day and a happy (but not sloppy) crowd, as you would expect for a beer festival!

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.

Kinda upset that Yelp is calling is John's Creek instead of Johns Creek (yes - people in JC do get…read moreoffended), but it's all good. I lived in JC from 2006 ~ 2015; a whopping nine years of my life and pretty much all of my teenage years. It was a brand new city when I moved here, and I honestly want to give this place 5 stars, but I simply can't for a few reasons. If you're living here as a teenager with parents and going to school, it's a great pace to live -- it's a safe and pretty high-class area, with great schools and little to no crime. Once you're in your twenties, you'll start to notice the downfalls here -- pretty much no night life, horrendous traffic and it's really the farthest place you can be from any highway. You have to drive either to Duluth, Alpharetta or Cumming to get to the nearest exit which is pretty sad, but that's why it has its own charms. Johns Creek is one of the safest cities and honestly one of the best cities you can live in Georgia. It has great school districts, plenty of diversity, great eateries and the people living here are really great! Lots of cultures in one melted pot, and any family will want to move here because of the terrific school districts. In terms of recreation, there really isn't much to do - there is a Lifetime Fitness, LA Fitness but no bowling allies -- there are a few parks (Shakerag Park), but nothing is like really great. In terms of schools, I went to Wilson Creek Elementary, River Trail Middle & Northview High. There are also Shakerag Elementary, Medlock Bridge Elementary, Findley Oaks Elementary, Johns Creek High School, but it's really just a district for higher middle-class families to live. Homes are expensive here for a reason -- there is a high percentage of Asians living here for education. With that being said, there is a Hmart and some Korean & Chinese restaurants in the area as well - the Korean community has been growing more than ever. I will say the only thing disappointing is you can't see anything much opening past 10pm. Again -- there is no night life here - you will have to drive to Duluth or Alpharetta to experience that. But my nine years in JC have been absolutely phenomenal, and again I was really tempted to give it that 5, but I can't because imagining myself living here as a 25 year old -- I'm not sure how I would feel about that.

Standing tall in the Oconee Rivers Greenway, this art installation is designed as a "public example…read moreof creative architecture" by Los Angeles-based designer and educator Andrew Kovacs. The artwork is thirty-six twelve-foot brightly-colored columns at the entrance to the new Greenway Trail. The columns are spaced six feet apart and are standard 8" by 8" by 8" concrete masonry units. Each column is painted in two different colors, dematerializing the columns and providing an array of coloration to the field of columns. According to the statement, "The colors can be read in myriad ways, from diversity and individualism, to race and sexual liberation, while also commenting on the long history of brightly colored public art work." They are completely weatherproof but not weedproof. The ground has certainly picked up some local flora since it was installed. There is parking along the roadway and there are no barriers to enter the artwork. You can certainly selfie with them or use them as a background to a photo shoot.
