Special Georgia Living: People & Places Section This Month
Birmingham, AL – Spring is in the air, and no one celebrates it more than Southern Living. In our April issue you will find no-fuss ideas for hosting an easy springtime party; how to have a terrific front yard; and recipes that will help you get your family—kids and all—to enjoy eating healthy.
Special this month—Georgia Living: People & Places
To Market – Robert Ahlers, owner of Atlanta’s 14th Street Antiques Market, finds it hard to believe he’s selling items from 30 years ago as “mid-century modern” antiques, alongside acres of other antiques which include furniture, rugs, paintings, and much more from as far back as the 17th century.
Walk a Labyrinth – Walking around in a circle might seem odd to the uninitiated, but it just might clear your mind. Kat Stratton, June Racicot, and Kathryn Cliatt of Cedar Hill Enrichment Center near Gainesville explain that labyrinths are meant for thoughtful, meditative walks—and people travel from all over to enjoy them.
Flying High with Marsha Marks – A Californian transplanted in Rincon (near Savannah), 20-year veteran flight attendant Marsha Marks considers herself a writer first. It took Marks 17 years to publish her first book, Flying by the Seat of my Pants: Flight Attendant Adventures on a Wing and a Prayer, and now she has three more in addition to writing a newspaper column and doing radio snippets from her book.
Artists with Roots – The Stillmoreroots Group, a loose alliance of rural Georgia artists, collaborates on temporary works in non-traditional settings. Their favorite locale, a pine grove forest where art hangs from limbs and shrubs, is meant to inspire a dialogue with those who visit.
Blooming at Macon State College – It’s hard not to stop and smell the flowers at Macon State College, a campus designated as a botanical garden. David Sims, Macon Stage College director of plant operations, works with faculty, students, interns, and volunteers to maintain this fascinating 167-acre facility.
Grilling at the Canyon – After selling insurance in California and running a restaurant in Texas, Lawton Haygood returned home to Lookout Mountain. He and his wife Karen opened Canyon Grill in 1996, in an old smokehouse that his mother owned. Today, he uses his patented wood-fired grill to prepare his signature dishes such as Slash ’n’ Burn Catfish.
Made of Memories – Inspired by childhood memories, Athens artist Charles Pinckney has a special talent for creating jewelry that shares a story and beauty at the same time.
