For a large county, the library administration practices seem to be very non reader friendly…read more Books can only be checked out for 2 weeks. Unless you have not much else to do, aka employment, it is very difficult to finish a book in 2 weeks. Also, the library content is mostly "side b" books, not the bestsellers. Popular new books can have waiting list for 80+ people for that ridiculous 2 week reading period. Forsyth county officials should be ashamed of not serving the public very well. Where do the tax dollars go? Staff are friendly and operating hours are decent.

I was there on Friday August 15 to print something for a protest the next day. I told that woman to…read moresee if the computer can print 11 x 17 poster paper. She told me it doesn't work and she and I find solutions to make it resemble to a poster. She showed me the different options that resemble a poster. There was a one option in which you print 8 x 11, in which it is like a normal piece of paper and you print each four individual pieces of papers. That four individual pieces of paper have four corners and when you cut it you can make a poster out of it. So I choose that option, I just want to say thank you to the librarian to take the time to show me on how do it. It was good customer service.

ON YOUR MARK, GET READY, SET…read more.. I will tell you when it is time to GO but for now, allow me to just whet that appetite. Remember when Dawsonville was just about the outlets? Well that is about to change because there is a crazy amount of construction going on in the form of two centers directly across from each other. If you are driving to the outlets via 400, you will encounter the Publix Shopping on the right and the Kroger complex on the left, just prior to reaching the outlets. The first thing I noticed about the Publix center is that there a couple of new restaurants there, Brooklyn Joe's, (currently open) and La Hacienda Mexican restaurant, (opening soon). These are a great addition because my biggest complaint about this area has always been about the limited number of restaurants. I am so excited to just have some new options and not feel that I have to wait until I get home in order to eat. There are also other retail businesses in this center such as a nail salon, pet store and other stores not yet identified. Directly across the street is that behemoth of a grocery store, Kroger. I visited both stores and Kroger wins hands down! We are talking about a bicycle vs a Harley with a side car. This will be the place you will want to stop if you want to eat a meal in-house, visit Starbucks, get some delicious donuts, great organic groceries and so much more. A new Marshalls is scheduled to open very soon and Ross will be added along with a couple of other retailers. I imagine that everything will be up and running by mid-January. I will certainly keep you posted! In the meantime, you will have to deal with the crazy road construction and increased traffic issues. My objective is to just avoid those high traffic times knowing that it will all be worth it in the end!

Love this mountain community. Just spent several days here with the grands and they had a blast!…read moreFrom bear spotting and deer gazing, the beautiful woods offer so much to see. Over 50 miles of hiking trails, three lakes, a beautiful marina, and two pools, there is something for everyone. The girls loved the rock slide and both pools. There are ample lifeguards, which is reassuring. The Beach Club offers a pool and a beach on the lake side. There is an inflatable obstacle course which kids love, too. There are so many amenities, you always have something to do. We aren't golfers but the course is beautiful. The lodge restaurant is set to reopen soon after a complete renovation, but there is also a fabulous restaurant just outside the gate. (Yes, this is a gated community) The restaurant is called Home and it serves delicious meals. You can get something as simple as a great burger or something fancier like seared halibut. The girls loved the ice cream shop just outside the gate. There's another restaurant in the same plaza, called the Lucky Hare and it's supposed to be good as well. Big Canoe is the perfect place to visit, whether you are looking for adventure or a relaxing time in the woods, surrounded by countless wildlife.

Well first off, Mother Nature always comes through with the beautiful landscape!!!…read more We made our way into the Big Canoe neighborhood- up & around the windy road to our house/cabin 27 Laurel Ridge Lane Jasper, Ga. 30143 A beautiful house & BIG! 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths. This house had 5 beds & bunks in 1 bedroom- PERFECT for a large crowd. I am terribly sorry, but if I felt better I would have taken a TON of pics!! 3 stories!! Upstairs had 2 large bedrooms & jack/jill bathroom. Spacious!! Main floor had 1/2 bath, master bed/bath, large kitchen & a small living room area w/fireplace. Downstairs had 2 bedrooms & jack/jill bath, laundry & a spacious extra "livingroom" Long deck could view the golf course & beautiful mountains!!! There is a small screened in porch w/dining table too. Downstairs had ANOTHER deck with a hot tub (didn't use). If you are wanting a relaxing vacation spot, this is great! Houses are VERY close to eachother, but you really don't feel it! Enough space for all to truly relax & be safe in this beautiful gated community!! I'm sure not cheap. 4 couples split a 2 night stay at $200 each. We could have had at least another couple or 2 to split more! Bring extra coffee pods, TP, paper towels, napkins & food if you are staying over a few days. A full kitchen & lots of dishes, pots pans, etc! But not FULLY stocked. Go, relax & enjoy yourselves!!!

My daughter-in-law and son started taking their son there awhile ago and he absolutely loves going! What a nice facility! So many great learning activities for children, he loves the Pre-K programs on the computers, I had so much fun doing these with him and coloring! My daughter-in-law loves to read and do puzzles, so she finds many of both at the library. They are military and will be moving to North Carolina soon, so I'm very glad I had the opportunity to visit such a nice library! Thank you

I've seen people do engagement shoots, family photos, etc on the bridge as well as over on the rocks. We have not done photos here we just come here to explore the area and let the kiddos run out some of their energy. They like to run back and forth on the bridge and play on the rocks as well as explore the playground.

The rain also made the little falls rush a little bit more dramatically. The main attraction is the now covered with graffiti bridge. Historical and full of vibe. The trails are not that long but if you go all the way around you will be able to get some cardio. I think that you could sit and get some inspiration here, if your that type of person. I would recommend checking this place out at least once.

The historical marker reads as the following BATTLE OF TALIWA Two and one-half miles to the east, near the confluence of Long-Swamp Creek and the Etowah River, is the traditional site of Taliwa, scene of the fiercest and most decisive battle in the long war of the 1740's and 50's between the Cherokee and Creek Indians. There, about 1755, the great Cherokee war-chief, Oconostota, led 500 of his warriors to victory over a larger band of Creeks. So complete was the defeat that the Creeks retreated south of the Chattahoochee River, leaving to their opponents the region later to become the heart of the ill-fated Cherokee Nation. 028-1 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1953 If you're by the area...hope you'll see it.
