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.

Meandering through aisles of eclectic treasures from yesteryear makes me smile. I visited Park West…read moreVintage in Marietta on a rainy Sunday and quickly determined this could be my happy place. I found furniture, artwork (original and prints), collectibles, jewelry, clothing, lighting, seasonal decor and so much more. I wandered through the entire store twice and saw different pieces each time. I took a number of photos to help show the variety of merchandise. In terms of service, I asked for help measuring a piece and found a friendly face right away. This store is clean and vibrant, but also unpretentious. I realize everyone's budget is different and value is quite subjective. However, I didn't have sticker shock while perusing and I looked at a good number of treasures. Happy shopping, neighbors!

WOW for fresh pasta this is the place to go. We called Tuesday and spoke to the owner a very nice…read morelady who explained how the process works. You place your order and the next day BAM!!!!!!!!! Fresh pasta! We were a little cautious to our chagrin and ordered just spaghetti and mushroom ravioli and we were more than pleased with the quantity and the quality of what we received. The delivery was early on Thursday when it was supposed to be at the house, it came in a nice bag, instructions not only for cooking but how to store the leftovers, as if there would be any. They even went as far to recommend freezing if you wanted and the expiration date. We had a dinner party and I usually go to a specialty shop in NYC when there on business..............remember those days when you'd travel for business on an airplane? I'll explain what an airplane is later. I need to tap the old grey matter to remember just what the heck it was. LOL This pasta stacks up with what I'd guard with my life against pilfering from TSA and Delta personnel. So in a nutshell I'd give these guys as many stars as are in the universe if Yelp would allow me to. It is wonderful to see a new artisan business in this area and if I have anything to do with it they'll be a HUGE hit. I guess while were all staying home and earning our COVID 15 this is one heck of a way to get some of the tastiest carbs on the planet.

The Marietta Trade Center is a run-of-the-mill suburban shopping center on Cobb Parkway in Marietta…read morelocated ITL (inside the loop - I just made that up) and roughly a five-minute drive east of Marietta Square. I've visited this shopping center periodically over the last 16 years during my lunch break. The #1 reason: Chick-fil-A. However, the Chick-fil-A here isn't technically part of the property. I'm not sure why. The Chick-fil-A, operated by Mandy Valdes, is typically very busy during the week at lunchtime. During peak periods, the drive-thru becomes two lanes. I often see Mandy outside directing traffic or inside working away. He does a little bit of everything. Sometimes, it's faster to park and go inside and order instead of waiting at the drive-thru. The #2 reason I visit the Marietta Trade Center is the UPS Store. Years ago, the UPS Store used to be in the small building facing Cobb Parkway, but it's since moved to a different building in the plaza. The UPS Store is good for shipping and/or dropping off packages. The #3 reason I visit the Marietta Trade Center is Walmart. There's a huge Walmart Supercenter on-site so it's a convenient store to visit if I happen to need something while at work. Other retail tenants include Foot Locker, GameStop, and T-Mobile. Comcast used to have a sad little store here, but it moved and opened a much nicer store at Delk Spectrum (Delk and Powers Ferry). Pollo Tropical opened a new freestanding restaurant at the shopping center on June 11, 2016. The restaurant faces Cobb Parkway and has a drive-thru. I've been. It's not bad. There's an Asian buffet called Atlantic Buffet, but I've never been in part because of its mediocre Yelp rating. It holds a lackluster 3-star average rating after 84 reviews since 2009. I'll get over there one of these days and to experience (and review) it for myself. There's a Jimmy John's here as well. Our office building receives many sandwich deliveries from this Jimmy John's location. Nearby is a Sam's Club, Sonny's BBQ, the Marietta Diner, the Big Chicken (KFC) and a bunch of other fast food chains. Over the years, I've been approached by people in the parking lot. Outside of The UPS Store, I had someone ask me for money. Outside of Walmart, someone walked up to me and gave me a "my car broke down" story. Also outside The UPS Store, I saw someone nonchalantly empty out his catheter bag into one of the parking lot planters. Gross.
