Marietta, Georgia. Locally known by many as May-Retta, and by many more as the town just north of the Big Chicken. That I will cover in a seperate post!
Like many southern towns, Marietta has a terrific town square. Right smack in the middle of the downtown area, this park is surrounded by government buildings, restaurants, and retail shops. There is also a terrific live theatre there as well. When I was there this past weekend, they were preparing for a music fest, and many pople were out enjoying the park like atmosphere.
There was a farmers market going on at one side street, outdoor cafes open, people walking their dogs, and a real southern feel to the day. The fact that the temperature never rose above 72 and the skys were a brilliant blue did not hurt either!
What about parking you ask? There is a public parking garage just a block away that is free after 5 pm in the afternoons and all day on weekends. There is also parking all around the square, but get there early to grab one!
Marietta Georgia. A terrific town and great place to come spend the day!
