The gals working were quite nice and helpful. The Local Market offers nifty classes and other events periodically; check out their website and social media for more info. I overheard that this shop will soon be relocating to its new home inside of J&M since this building will become luxury condos (side note: what isn't becoming condos?). I didn't have any intention of buying something for myself but ended up leaving with some jewelry, oops! If you've been to The Beehive in Atlanta, The Local Market reminds me a lot of it. Definitely stop by and check out what amazing stuff local creative types have to offer.

In the middle of rural Georgia stands a site dedicated to world peace and our future harmony…read morethrough appreciation of the arts. And we'll have St. EOM (née Eddie Martin) to thank, for it is he who received divine inspiration to build this site, Pasaquan over his former farm. It took him 25 years to do this. It will take you an hour's worth of touring to thank him for it. The grounds is a mixture of indoor and out, Buddhist and Christian symbology, iconic and abstract representation, primitive and futuristic, arts and crafts. What it is purely throughout is inspired. Georgia is very blessed to have two visionary sites (with the more well-known Paradise Gardens by the Reverend Howard Finster in Summerville), and these photos give an idea but are no substitute for being there. That said, it's only open for the first Saturday of the month from April to October, along with a 2-day festival on the first weekend in November, so plan accordingly. Also plan ahead for lunch and money for admittance/souvenirs/donations, because there's nothing anywhere around except for you, a beautiful, sacred site, and some very shaky cell phone signals.
