Fall in Love with Cacao Atlanta

February 13, 2013 By Spencer

We at the Trot Line applaud and promote folks who are crafting and producing amazing products by hand every chance we get. Kristen Hard, owner of Cacao Atlanta Chocolate Co., has been doing just that since 2004. Cacao is known for creating amazing “bean-to-bar” chocolate and other scrumptious treats, making it a “must visit” in anticipation this year’s Valentine’s Day. Let’s be clear for one second, this is not the type of chocolate that you find in a heart box and wrapped in red cellophane. … [Read more...]

Planning Your Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in Atlanta

April 28, 2011 By Kevin Ekmark

Piedmont Park 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...]
