What’s your favorite pie? Georgia Pecan? Key Lime? Chocolate Silk? Strawberry Crème? My favorite is Lemon Meringue. If pie is your thing, you must be familiar with Edwards – makers of some of the best pie in all the land. I recently discovered I’ve been passing by the same building once or twice every week (taking the alternate way home from my son’s school) and never noticed that an Edwards manufacturing plant sits right smack dab inbetween LaFrance Street and Decatur Avenue, the unofficial dividing line between Atlanta’s Intown neighborhoods of Edgewood and Candler Park. We just happened to be cruising down LaFrance Street and my son smelled the aroma of fresh baked dough. I looked up and noticed that we were at the intersection of LaFrance Street and “Lemon Lane”. Just beyond the Lem... 10/31/2011

After living in the "Intown" Atlanta area for almost 16 years, I still haven't had the opportunity to sit down with Miss Ann and have one of her World Famous Cheese Burgers.  It's not for lack of trying -- I've tried at least FIVE times and after waiting 45 minutes to over an hour, I always had to leave. Now that she is closing her doors, I'm probably going to have to plan to wait 2+ hours in order to sink my teeth into that burger! After reading that the Wall Street Journal dubbed "the best burger in America" I decided to do a bit of research and found that Ann's Snack Bar (aka The Ghetto Burger) has it's own page on WIKIPEDIA! It's also been featured in CNN's Travel segment, and Slashfood's "Burger of the Day". Read more about the sale in the AJC >>>  I've marked my calendar and will ... 08/26/2010

All across the US we have foreclosures sitting and waiting for an new owner. Some of the properties are in fine condition, but many are dilapidated and in disrepair. They sit and sit because traditional lenders will not lend on properties in disrepair. However, there is a solution to this and it can provide you and your family with a hefty future profit to boot. FHA 203K and Fannie Mae Renovation Loans have been around for a while, but with the glut of new construction that occurred between 2001 and 2006 there wasn't much need for them. Not so anymore! All across the US foreclosures sit empty and unwanted, available at drastically reduced prices waiting for that buyer with enough gumption to take on the task of renovating a home. Every month I see buyers willing to take that plunge who ... 05/15/2008
