Lake Lanier, Hall County And Gainesville, Georgia (Issue 120)

By Freedom Lady | November 7, 2008

About two years ago, I moved from Atlanta to Hall County’s Gainesville, Georgia. It’s a pretty little town, about 50 miles north of Atlanta, nestled not far from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has a beautiful historic district of old Southern mansions in midtown.
 
It’s not very far from Commerce, Georgia, where I was born. In years past, I would drive through here on my way roaming around in beautiful North Georgia. Back in the late 60s, I used to visit a friend—one of my oldest and dearest friends, Grace Zabriski, a movie actress now living in Hollywood—at Brenau College that is located around here. Grace has been in many movies like “The Burning Bed” starring Farrah Fawcett, the movie starring Sally Fields about the mill worker, and many others, as well as having many appearances on “Seinfeld.”

Vote, Gloat Or Float Your Boat (Issue 118)

By Freedom Lady | November 4, 2008

I moved to this little North Georgia town, nestled at the foothill of The Blue Ridge Mountains just two years ago. I know very few people here and seldom go any place because I no longer drive. I have a perfect driving record over 50 years, but the State of Georgia cancelled my driver’s license because it made a typographical error  on my birth date, which did not match my social security records. Therefore, it cancelled my driver’s license two years ago.

I will be writing an article about that a bit later, plus another article describing how the local Marshall’s office hounded me for months here.
 
Because of these events, in addition to others, I have stayed home most of the time during the past two years. And in the past seven months, spent a lot of time writing. However, the past three days I’ve been in involved in a rummage sale, which is sort of like a yard sale but inside my home. As a result, I have met many of the “local folks,” some rather charming.

Mule Camp Market, A Fall Festival (Issue 107)

By Freedom Lady | October 13, 2008

Here in a small North Georgia town of Gainesville, a fall festival is held each year called “Mule Camp Market.” More than 200 booths line up around the town square, a very nice town square with lots of local shops. In the center is a beautiful park area.
