Tubing Down the ‘Hooch

April 26, 2011 By Kevin Ekmark

Tubing Down the Chattahoochee River

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. The Chattahoochee River plays a major role in Northern Georgia's ecosystem and recreation. 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.  When the summer sun starts beating down in the Peach State, you can count on a wide … [Read more...]

The Only Gun Shop in Atlanta

April 16, 2011 By Kevin Ekmark

Purchasing a shotgun in Georgia

I grew up hearing from my Mom that we were not a "gun family," and that I would never own a gun while I was living under my parents roof.  Life as a teenager was rough, right?  Something that is found deep within the heart of a young man is this call to be wild.  Spending time outdoors, learning how to fend for myself, and making things go boom has always been something that I have been drawn to.  Fortunately, when I was teenager, a few of my friends grew up in "gun families" and I was able to … [Read more...]

Atlanta Is Sweeter on Earth Day

Sweetwater 420 Fest 2011

Life in the South this year has been pretty great.  We had a few early hints of that warm, Georgia weather back in March, and now we are all ready to put away those sweaters and welcome in the consistent warmth of April and May.  Now that it's time to bust out the shorts and flip flops (regardless of any early morning chill lingering around,) it is time to celebrate with your friends and the rest of Atlanta with the perfect outdoor spring event in the South over fatty foods, cold brews, and … [Read more...]

East Atlanta Run Before You Crawl 2011

April 4, 2011 By The Trot Line Staff

Kicking off Spring with a light 5k around East Atlanta is the perfect way to welcome the warm days of the South.  The second annual "Run Before You Crawl" race is not like any other you will run this year.  No sir.  This might be your standard 5k (3.2 miles) run, but at the end of this race, you switch over to a pub crawl at around 10:30am (Ask yourself, "what would Jimmy Buffet do?".)  The race will attract a few beer guzzlers and whiskey downers, which would lead one to believe that this is … [Read more...]

Comfort Found at Cook-Out

April 3, 2011 By Andrea

One summer when I was home from college I went through serious Cook-Out withdrawals.  I mentioned it to my Mom and she immediately fired up the grill to cook some hot dogs and hamburgers.  She didn’t understand that I was not talking about having a cook out in the backyard.  I was talking about one of the best kept fast food secrets in North Carolina. Cook-Out is a drive-through restaurant that began in the same town as my Alma Mater, Greensboro.  They specialize in Carolina barbecue made … [Read more...]
