It is certainly the second best parade (sorry, I still love Dragon-Con the best) in Atlanta.  This Saturday, the Little Five Points Halloween parade is coming to town.  Get there early if you want a fabulous spot watching hearses carrying headless bodies around.  The parade starts at 4pm.  But don’t forget there is a whole […]

The almost eaten antipasto platter at La Tavola.
Alison and I love good restaurants and we know there are quite a few in the city, but there are only a handful that truly impress me each and every time I go - and one of these is La Tavola Trattoria in the Virgina Highlands.  Considered by […]

Alison and I just got back from a fabulous vacation in California.  A few days were spent sipping wine in the Russian River Valley where we enjoyed meeting people while “tasting wines.”  Our favorite winery, Lambert Bridge, has a connection to Atlanta.  Not only does Andy, the proprietor (true title: National Sales Manager) of Lambert […]
