ellijay: E.B. Reece -- Small Town Girl with Big Time Stuff
- 10/25/09 02:33 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)
ellijay: The Martyn House--'Arabian Nights' in Ellijay
- 10/24/09 05:02 AM
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)
ellijay: The Best Little Restaurant in Ellijay, GA
- 07/24/08 12:35 PM
Probably my favorite restaurant in the North Georgia Mountains is Cantaberry's. Located at 51 River Street in Ellijay, Cantaberry's is open only for lunch--or as the sign on the front door says: 11 to 3-ish. The tiny cafe, which only seats about 30, offers up the most delicious soups, sandwiches and salads around. They are probably best known for their tomato-basil soup, which, like all their other fare, is made fresh on the premises. Rich, savory, with small chunks of tomato, basil, and infused with a touch of cream, the soup is bursting with flavor. Team the soup up with … (12 comments)
ellijay: Breaking the Rules -- North Georgia Mountain Real Estate
- 02/12/08 11:06 AM
Knocking conventional wisdom on its ear, home prices in the North Georgia mountain real estate market during 2007--with the exception of Gilmer County--continue a trend upward, albeit not at the rate we saw in 2004 and 2005. I did a year-to-year comparison of residential sales in 2006 and 2007. The results were interesting, to say the least. Despite an overall decline of nearly 28% in number of units sold--and an absorption rate averaging 21 months--prices held steady and, remarkably, in Fannin County prices leaped by 14% in 2007! I analyzed sales data for the North Georgia market overall (Gilmer, Fannin, Union and Towns counties combined), as well as each … (2 comments)
