As I continue this challenge for the month of October, this week I will share the spots across the metro area that provide serenity. We all have places where we spend time reflecting, recharging and restoring our sanity. The beach is my saving grace, but since I’m 3 hours away from Savanna, the serene calm…

Looking for somewhere trendy and chic on a Saturday night to hear the blues, and have a stiff drink? Two Urban Licks in Atlanta can fulfill that desire with a diverse menu that’s as hot as the decor. I usually enjoy a Moscow Mule, and the Salmon Chips. If you aren’t a salmon lover after…

And why shouldn’t you? Why should you be ashamed to enjoy a meal alone and in the company of yourself? You shouldn’t! Yes the world would like for you to believe that everyone is in a relationship, out enjoying dinner while you dine alone like a rejected teen. Take a minute and observe couples in…

This Food is Deadly

The title is self explanatory, food soo good you need a casket once finished. Six Feed Under is a must, especially after a visit to Oakland Historic Cemetery that sits a few headstones away. Start with the Conch Fritters, fried to perfection, tender conch and just enough batter to make them fluffy. The Fried Green…

Something about sushi just makes me love life that much more. Give me a pot of green tea, a bottle of hot sake, and a menu in any Japanese restaurant and I’m elated. Yuki is one of my local favorites that never disappoints. A quick 20 minute drive up I-75 South from Atlanta, beautiful decor,…

Twisted Taco provides lots of ambiance, and is a great spot to enjoy the terrace during sunset. Personally as a lover of Mexican food, I was a bit disappointed with the tacos. But you be the judge, my pallet was developed from the authenticity that comes from eating in the homes of my Mexican friends…

EZELL’S

They don’t play about catfish in the southern states, Georgia is no different, they take pride in fresh, crisp, deep fried deliciousness. Ezell’s is about an hours drive outside of the Atlanta metro area depending on your location. If you are passing through Columbus, heading to Calloway Gardens, enjoying Pine Mountain, it’s well worth the…

End your visit by taking a moment to reflect on the words as the waters cascade down the fountain. Appreciate the beautiful Yoshino Cherry Tree as you rest from the heat. Stop in the gift shop and select a few souvenirs that aren’t just travel trinkets, but pieces of timeless history. The Martin Luther King…

I wonder how many feel as if the dream lives based on the world we are currently living in. What do you think? I’m just a brown girl, traveling the world, trying to make something beautiful

It’s a Library

A quiet spot to stop and read a book, use the internet, and get pamphlets about other events and museums around the city. When I saw the sign I assumed is was a library dedicated to displaying all of the literature that has been written about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, wrong. This is simply…

Founded in 1886 by Rev. John Parker, in 1894 Rev. A.D. Williams became pastor, maternal grandfather of Dr. King. 1931 the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr who was the assistant pastor at the time began his leadership of Ebenezer. This building in my opinion was the village that nurtured and encouraged a young man to…
