As of today, I have experienced the Red Hare Brewing Company brewery tour twice, and each time I have learned something completely new. Over the past few years, I have experienced my fair share of brewery tours, and these have been by far the best so far. If you aren't from Georgia, I'll clue you in to a little Peach State secret located in Marietta, GA. Red Hare Brewing Co is one of the newest craft breweries in Metro Atlanta. The brewery is basically run by the owners, Roger Davis and … [Read more...]

Day Hiking in Georgia
The fall is fast approaching here in Georgia, and the weather has thankfully started to cool off. For me, and many outdoor enthusiasts, this means it is time to get back outside and enjoy nature. This could be anything from taking a walk with the family, playing fetch with the dog at the park, taking a day hike or spending a night or two out in the woods. This time of year is fantastically beautiful and should be enjoyed. Regardless of the activity, I highly recommend getting outdoors … [Read more...]

Don’t Skip Over Stone Mountain Park
Sometimes the spots that are closest to us are the ones we take for granted. Many people who live right next to big cities live so close that we never actually take time to visit cool places that may be considered typical tourist attractions. Whether you are an Atlanta local or visiting from out of town, Stone Mountain Park is an awesome place to spend an inexpensive afternoon. When I headed into Stone Mountain Park this past weekend, I thought that the only thing to do was climb up the … [Read more...]
Virginia-Highland’s Summerfest 2011
Very few festivals standout in my mind as an overall amazing experience. There are plenty of festivals around Atlanta, many of which are fun, but not all of them are made for everyone in the community. The small neighborhood of Atlanta, Virginia-Highland, offers one of the best all around festivals in the city. It is a community centered event that has everything for everyone. Summerfest 2011 begins on Friday, but that special part is exclusive to the families living in the neighborhood of … [Read more...]

Planning Your Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in Atlanta
We have all spent some amount of time at work or in a boring professor's lecture wondering what it would be like play plan the perfect day of hooky. I can't tell you how often I sat back in my chair, wondering what I would do if I had just taken the day off. A few weeks ago, I was finally able to do it. Well, the truth is, I wasn't playing hooky. I had a Friday off in between leaving an old job and beginning a new one. Yeah, I know, it really doesn't sound that crazy. The point is that … [Read more...]
Tubing Down the ‘Hooch
Updated 11/15/17 Whether you are from the city, or from the backwoods, there is one thing that all Georgians love to do during the summer; Tube down the 'Hooch.

You can hear shotgun blasts and calls up and down the river during duck season, and you're likely to see a few fisherman trying to catch a trout year round.
