Danny this is a great series you are doing and as one who doesn't know her way around your neck of the woods very well this is very informative.  Oh and I love all the links you can go to from the pics, great idea.

Nancy, yes you do. And I am still pouting cause you had to work instead of having brunch with me.

This is a great addition in your series. Alpharetta was my father's home for many years before he retired and relocated to sunny Hawai'i. I do appreciate the easy commute, as long as it isn't rush hour, to city attractions. But with all there is to do in Alpharetta, you don't really have to leave to enjoy the finer things in life.

Rich, that is correct. I did not even touch on the vast array of restaurants that Alpharetta sports.

Danny, whenever I travel to Georgia I'm just going to print out your posts, my weekend will already be planned for me! Great series.

Debbie, just make sure that one of your stops includes coming to Horseshoe Bend in Roswell. Otherwise, I am going to be mad.

My mother loves Georgia and by this post, I can see why.  You make Alpharetta a very appealing choice of places to live and/or visit.  It is one city I haven't seen, looks like I will need to add it to the list.

Rebecca, it is truly a place to visit.
