dawn mcguire: There's Treasure in Them Thar Hills! Geocaching in Blue Ridge, GA - 03/10/10 07:36 PM
Looking for something different to do in Blue Ridge? Try geocaching! Geocaching is a sort of high tech outdoor treasure hunt where you use a GPS in place of a treasure map. Now, you won't find a gold-filled treasure chest in the cache, but you will find fun and goodies hidden within each one. Plus, you will find the beauty and grandeur of the North Georgia mountains along the way! The Fannin County Chamber of Commerce has hidden five geocaches in Blue Ridge. Simply enter the coordinates of each into your GPS, and you're off! The Welcome Wow (N 34° 52.508’ W084° 17.950’) … (8 comments)

dawn mcguire: Program Will Pay Homeowners Who Sell at a Loss - 03/09/10 01:43 PM
The Obama administration has announced a new short-sale program aimed at alleviating some of the roadblocks that now impede the process, which will hopefully inject some life into the nation's ailing real estate market. According to a New York Times article, the program -- that will take effect on April 5 -- will help some of the five million households who are currently behind on their mortgages by compelling lenders to accept a short-sale arrangement in lieu of foreclosure. A short-sale can occur when a lender agrees to take less for a property than the amount owed on the mortgage, thereby avoiding foreclosure.The program will not help everyone; … (6 comments)

dawn mcguire: Your Second Home: A Place for the Grandchildren - 03/03/10 03:20 PM
"Never have children, only grandchildren." - Gore Vidal More and more retirees are calling the beautiful mountains of North Georgia home. The lovely laid-back atmosphere and natural beauty of the area, combined with the multitude of activities available, make the mountains the perfect location for retirement. Grandparents will soon find that grandchildren feel the same way about the mountains...they LOVE them! The ability to do the things they usually can't do at home -- fish, kayak, raft, hike, go to the drive-in -- with the extra added attraction of being able to do it with Grandma and Grandpa, makes a trip … (4 comments)

dawn mcguire: Your Second Home: Hardy Perennials to the Rescue - 02/27/10 10:45 AM
We bought our cabin in the beautiful North Georgia mountains in the dead of winter. When we came up from Atlanta on the weekends during the cold months, we busied ourselves on the inside of the cabin making it our cozy nest. Once Spring arrived, we welcomed the opportunity to start digging and planting. We planted what we thought were hardy varieties of plants, and for a few months - as we came up weekend to weekend - we were delighted to see the progress that our 'babies' were making. Come May, we sank a pretty penny into buying hanging baskets of ferns … (0 comments)

dawn mcguire: We LOVE the Folks We Have the Privilege to Serve! - 11/05/09 09:49 AM
They say a picture paints a thousand words...Here are the beautiful flowers we received as a gesture of appreciation from two of our incredible customers after a closing we had last week. The cards read: "Kim, You are the best!" and "Dawn, You made this happen for us!"
It was such a lovely surprise to get these roses. We don't do this for the glory (God knows!!), but it is so heartwarming to 'feel the love' like this! Thanks Jim & Maria! We are so happy to have helped make your dream come true!

dawn mcguire: Halloween Night in BOO Ridge! - 11/02/09 03:24 PM
The rain that fell Saturday evening did little to dampen the spirits of the hundreds of kids who visited downtown Blue Ridge's Halloween Safe-Zone. Witches and goblins, princesses and fairies shared Main Street as they Trick-or-Treated their way among all the shops. A spook-tacular time was had by all!

dawn mcguire: E.B. Reece -- Small Town Girl with Big Time Stuff - 10/25/09 09:33 PM
You may not have heard of E.B. Reece...yet. But, trust me, you will. On Friday, the Gilmer Arts and Heritage Association (GAHA) hosted an evening with E.B., where, in a cozy intimate space, she performed songs from her new Nashville-produced CD, "Big Time Stuff." With the voice of an angel -- a face to match -- and a personality that lights up the room, E.B. enchanted the audience with her lovely performance. The self-described "small town girl," a mere 19-years old, grew up in Ellijay. Her songs -- most of which she writes herself -- reflect an innocent sensibility shaded with humor, love, and angst. E.B.'s talent shimmers off … (2 comments)

dawn mcguire: The Martyn House--'Arabian Nights' in Ellijay - 10/24/09 12:02 PM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a great piece today on The Martyn House in Ellijay, about a 20-minute drive from Blue Ridge. It brought to mind the wonderful time I recently had at one of their amazing farm-to-table meals. The hosts -- Joann Adams and Rick Lucas -- couldn't have been more warm and welcoming, the food more divine, or the surroundings more enchanting. I went on a balmy summer evening, and shared a table under the stars with about 50 other folks, a varied group that included local artists, gallery owners, civic leaders...and me (I could make out the whispers, "Who … (2 comments)

dawn mcguire: Cowan's Book Store -- Adding 'Volumes' to Blue Ridge - 10/18/09 09:28 PM
On a chilly, gray day, I welcomed the opportunity to step into Cowan's Book Nook. As warm and inviting as it's name, Book Nook celebrated it's grand opening on Friday. Owners Barry and Melinda Cowan -- who also operate Cowan's Book Nook in Ellijay -- recognized the need for a top-notch bookstore in Blue Ridge. A great addition to the town's thriving downtown area, the shop is full of a large selection of books including fiction, non-fiction, and best-sellers. The store also features an impressive array of children's and Christian books. The space is light and airy, with sitting areas so that after you've … (4 comments)
