Tag Archives: North Georgia

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.”
