High Wire Act

I was PWD - photographing while driving - trying to get a good shot of the moon. I just realized that it looks like the Moon is walking/rolling on a high wire.

Douceur de France

Nothing but goodness inside. The Marietta store is at the corner of Glover Street and Atlanta Road. There is a new store in Roswell at 1173 Alpharetta Street.

Ca-Ca-Ca Cake!

This is half of the dessert display at the Marietta Diner. The other half is around the corner on the other side of the register with all kinds of pies and cheesecake. Emma, Daisha, Alaysha, and I shared a slice of California Cheesecake, which is a delicious cake with cheesecake in the middle. Perfect. On our next visit, Emma and I plan to have the 7 Kinds of Chocolate cake, although I don't know if I can wait for our next visit to try it.

Life Adjusted

One of many cool sculptures on the campus of Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta.

Harry's Whole Foods Market

The Good thing and the Bad thing about Harry's is the Same thing - it's less than two minutes from my house.

Square Pizza

The Marietta Pizza Company is a great place for pizza and people watching. I haven't eaten there yet, but it looks like I'm going to have to. There's probably a good reason it's always crowded.

SweeTreats

You really have to get yourself some SweeTreats. They start with a vanilla or chocolate base (ice cream or frozen yogurt). You get one flavor free, and you can add whatever other flavor(s) you want. I chose vanilla with Very Berries, which is all the berries. It was so good I couldn't walk and eat at the same time. I picked up one of those buy-ten-get-one-free cards because I am definitely going back for more.

It's Hip To Be In The Square

These gentlemen have the right idea about what to do on a beautiful day. I saw them relaxing in Glover Park on The Square. A few hours later as I was on my way home, they were still there enjoying the day.

Boundaries

I used this picture for a WordPress theme post on Boundaries. The sign is near the corner of Whitlock and North Marietta Parkway.

PWD - Photographing While Driving

Not the smartest thing to do, but I was trying to get a clear shot of the Moon. This was the best of all the shots I took.

I've run out of pictures for MDP, so I have to get out for a while tomorrow and see if I can find something worth posting. Any suggestions?

Square Geometry

Is there a geometric term for half the side of a square? This is half of North Park Square, on The Square.

Give Me the Night Light

Marietta Power on the case on Cobb Parkway. I saw their truck on my way to pick up some Chinese food for dinner, and on my way home [lucky for me] I caught them just as they finished.

Let the Sunshine In

It was the perfect day to clean the windows so Shillings' customers could 

get in some people watching on The Square.

Marietta Trolley Company

Marietta's Trolley, Uncle Ruban, went into service in July 1905. Passengers boarded the trolley at the courthouse for the trip to Atlanta. The trolley made several stops on the way, and the trip ended at 

Georgia Power on Forsyth Street.

Today the trolley takes passengers on one-hour narrated tours 

of historic Marietta.

Scarlett on the Square

The Marietta Gone with the Wind Museum: Scarlett on the Square opened in April 2003. You can see Scarlett's honeymoon gown, some of Margaret Mitchell's personal volumes of the novel, promotional materials, and various items and collectibles.

Theater in the Square

New on the outside and inside, the Theater in the Square is in its 29th season.

Cobb County Superior Courthouse

The new Cobb County Superior Courthouse was completed in January 2010. The Atlanta Journal Constitution published an interesting article about the design and construction process.

Woods Park

Located next to historic Old Zion Baptist Church on one-tenth of an acre. I was intrigued by this park because it is so small. It made me wonder what is required to be declared a park. I may explore that in another post.

Le Cafe Crepe

I came upon this restaurant while walking around The Square. It's located on the train track side near the GWTW Museum. The menu offers a good variety of crepes. Saturday night is Gourmet Night and reservations are required. I hope I can get my friends to join me for lunch or dinner. I'm looking forward to posting a review on Le Cafe Crepe soon.

Strand Theater

The Strand started as a movie theater in 1935 and operated as such until 1976. Ownership changed hands a few times over the next 67 years. The theater was vacated in 2002. The community rallied, a nonprofit group formed to restore The Strand, and it reopened in December 2008. Follow this link for more details on the theater's history.
