David and I have always been huge fans of Big City Bread, but we also discovered Luna Baking on our last visit - not to be missed:  Luna Bakings's Chocolate and Cherry Sweet Bread!

The "Righteous Juice" lemonaide blends are fantastic!  Our favorites are the Raspberry and the Blueberry.

I'll have to drive up one non game weekend and check that out.  I'd tell my daughter, but frankly I couldn't stand her to find one more place in Athens to spend my money.

Mike - there are some awesome folks participating.  David & I came home with some great stuff.  I've wanted to go back, but the UGA games the last couple of weeks have kept me out of downtown.

Tammy, LOL I assume you have a student here.  If you come over to Athens to visit, let me know and we'll get together.  I'd love to meet some other GA AR folks.
