cans grows on trees?  No, they just removed the trash receptacle and now we have no where to put our trash in.  by we, I mean bus riders and etc...

St Joseph Catholic Church of Macon Georgia

No matter how many times, I've taken photos of this magnificent structure, it always demands more photos.  and I simply comply.  St. Joseph Catholic Church of Macon Georgia, is a must see architectural beauty.  They don't build churches like this anymore.






 But literally steps away from it is another mega church called The First Baptist Church.  This church is also a historic  church.

Haven for Cats in Macon Georgia

I was doing laundry one day on Rocky Creek Rd in Macon.  While waiting for my clothes to finish washing, I got bored and decided to walk around the premises to kill time and see what is going on around here.  and I found this awesome friendly for feline facility.  But what I really love is their use of toddler's bed.

Toddler's bed of all shape and sizes are use as cats bed.  
I wonder would this work for my pitbulls.  They just like to ungutt pillows and blankets, that's the only thing I'm concern of.  But I love the idea.  It gets them off the floor. Knowing my pits, they'll probably end up under neat them. but definitely on them.

Washington Avenue Library of Macon

I love this Library.  I think because of it's interior, easy access, friendly staff, historical section, lots of lounging area, cozy seats, oh and ofcourse the books.  Which I know, one day will be no more.  There will only be ebooks. But not complaining about that.  There are much advantages of that outcome, such ass, less trees that will be needed to create books and other publications.  That's good for the environment.

Anyway, 'nough of that.  Had to snap these photos to share them here.

New Businesses coming to downtown Macon Georgia

I've been noticing lately, that businesses are beginning to flock around Poplar Street of downtown Macon.  For the past 12 years I've lived in Macon, I've seen alot of businesses comes and go in downtown.  Just when it's starting to look promising, then it quickly retreats.  But maybe the movers and shakers have finally had it and will do something resilience this time around.  One of my favorite spot now in downtown is the Taste and See cafe.  I love the atmosphere, the menu, and of-course the free wifi. 

I was really impressed with their chicken salad sandwich.  It was soooo gooood.

love the layout and all the art that surrounds you

they even have a living room area!!

with a real fireplace!!!  love the ambience

love this reading nook, right next to the fireplace.

Ocmulgee Traders ... an Urban Market, wow coming to downtown Macon soon!!!

can't wait for this to open.  I'm definitely going to love to stroll through downtown now. 
and I forgot to mention, that it appears to be a new gym right next to this shop too.

Although I hated to see Alphagraphics and that gameroom out of downtown, for now, there seems to be a steady stream of new businesses being attracted to this area.  Hopefully it will continue to do so.

Sign of the Past of Macon Georgia

Racism was truly embedded in Macon Georgia.  This sign is located on the left hand side of an entrance at the Terminal Station located dowtown.  I don't know why it i still there.  Sentimental reason....?

2014 Snow in Macon

It is official, it seems that every four or five years, it snows in Macon.  It began last night.  The weather man says it was going to snow, I was waiting for it in the morning but didn't see anything. Atleast I thought that it might have snowed and melted by the time the sun came creeping in the horizon.  But the snow came in the night and its 9am and it is still here.  Just made my day.  I'm glad I don't have to go to work in this mess.

that's a lot of snow


this morning the snow is still here!   i luv it!





Where to get free Wi-Fi in Macon?

1. Joshua Cup Coffee House 2.Panera Bread 3. Most of McDonald's Restaurants 4.Krystal Fast Food Restaurants 5.Starbucks - My favorite is probably Starbucks and McDonalds because they allow you to stay as long as you want without them giving you any hassle. Plus All the listing here except for Krystals have places for you to plug in your laptop for extra needed power.
