kennesaw: Kennesaw Ga. Fun - Part 2
- 09/10/19 05:32 AM
I posted yesterday about a great museum in Kennesaw devoted to the Civil War and the part trains played. However, that is not everything the town has to offer. Just a few miles outside of the Kennesaw Town limits is a jewel of a park. The Smith-Gilbert Botanical Gardens. Read more here. I must admit that I had never heard of this before and it has been open to the public for 10 years now. The 15 acres of this garden contain a butterfly house, Rose Garden, quiet forest walks, Sculptures, Koi Ponds, and a neat Bonsai display. There are dozens of cool sculptures scattered … (2 comments)

He said he has 5 rules for making it in life, … (39 comments)
kennesaw: Kudos to Kennestone Hospital!
- 09/26/11 01:25 AM
The bad news is I got to spend 6 hours in the emergency room Friday night/Saturday morning. The good news is that the emergency room was located at the Kennestone Hospital in Kennesaw Georgia. This is the second time in 5 months I have been given the chance to meet some wonderful and caring people in this hospital. Oh, and I am fine. Just a kidney stone the size of Nebraska. I was amazed that the ER was full when I walked in at midnight. I was unable to get a room as they were full, so I ended up on a … (4 comments)
