It's a picker's paradise this weekend!  The Great Southern Music Festival in Thomasville is three days of South Georgia Bluegrass at it's finest.  I can't think of any more appropriate of a place to hold this celebration of southern music than at Pickers Paradise Park located at 2217 Maddox Rd in Ochlocknee, GA.  Beginning Thursday, October 4th and continuing through Saturday, October 6th, the Thomasville's Great Southern Music Festival will showcase everything from traditional Bluegrass music to the more progressive "Newgrass" picking styles.  Bands will play their sets on the covered stage all day long throughout the three day festival.  So, pull up a chair anytime.  Or, if you'd prefer, you can sit next to the beautiful lake and enjoy a nice BBQ.  When you need to stretch your legs ...

 I received this email this morning and want to pass it on to the ActiveRain community.  As Business professionals, we have to do self promotion which entails getting our contact info out to the consumer.  It is just the nature of business especially with real estate, nothing we can do about it.  But just want to warn everyone, DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR LAND-LINE # TO YOUR HOME OR HOME OFFICE!!!Read this and try it out! Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book. If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up t...

    I know that there are many of you out there that are frustrated with the place you call home....Maybe it's the traffic that you sit in all day,   the guy yelling and honking his horn saying " get oughtta here!!!,"  The Snow you have to shovel to get out of your house and face the day,  the house you can't afford but is still too small and you really don't like it anymore, and not to mention that there aren't enough jobs to go around...I have heard these complaints from many off my out of town clients.Many people are deciding that Thomasville Ga is the place to live their days at.  As we call it "the city of roses" is our home.  We have tropical weather for most part of the year,  a friendly small town atmosphere,  a thriving economy all the while holding an affordable cost of living...
