New address Posted August 28, 2005 at 2:46 pm

I went for location when choosing my new apartment. Effective September 16, 2005, my address is 19112 Sugarloaf Reserve Drive, Duluth, GA 30097. This puts me less than a mile away from work so I plan to actually bike rather than drive to work whenever possible. Here’s to time saved.

Apartment hunting in Duluth Posted August 14, 2005 at 11:04 pm

It’s that time again. Titus and I are going our separate ways and I will soon be living on my own. I began my search this weekend with the intent of moving into a new apartment by mid-September. I organized my search through ProMove, since they have been very helpful in the past. They were able to help me quickly filter my search for little more than the cost of a few moments of my time.

I visited six different properties this weekend. As of Sunday evening, I’ve narrowed my results down to two. One features a near optimal location with superior grounds and furnishings at something of a premium. The other strikes more of a value proposition. I plan to make a decision by this week.

5 Seasons and Joli Kobe Posted August 6, 2005 at 12:00 am

Mom and Dad were in Atlanta this weekend looking for remodeling ideas. As always, we got together to enjoy some unique Atlanta dining. Rather than hit the usual favorites, we decided to try a couple interesting restaurants recently featured in Southern Living, both located just off the Roswell Road exit on I-285. The first, 5 Seasons Brewing, offers some of the most highly-rated local beers and a menu with an eclectic assortment of entrees featuring exotic meats and all-organic ingredients. The second, Joli Kobe, is a Japanese bakery producing georgeous treats inspired by French patisseries. Though not instant favorites, both are quite good and well worth a try if you’re looking for an memorable dining experience.
