This is the place for luxury shopping. Saks, Norstroms, and lots of designer stores in a beautiful indoor mall which matters if it is hot outside. There is another huge shopping center, Lenox Mall across the street. Go a little further and you can visit Buckhead Shops. Fantastic dining and one of my favorite restaurants.

Sam's Club is a discount store, like Costco. This one is close just off the Clairmont Rd. Exit. Take I-85 South and go one exit, then turn right at the end of the ramp, just past the McDonalds. They require a membership to enter, and depending on what you are looking for it might be worth purchasing. Food, appliances, clothes, housewares, daily use items.

People travel from all over the south to shop at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza across the street. Both are large malls, wear your comfy shoes. The Lenox MARTA Station is located nearby, yet I would suggest you drive.

ALDI is a fantastic grocery store that has better prices than Kroger and Publix. You have to bag things yourself, yet they only sell organic items. It is in the same strip mall as Best-Buy. Lots of free parking. Same area as Chick-fil-A and Wells Fargo Bank.

Lidl is another organic, cost-effective grocery store. You have to bag your own items. It is a sister store to ALDI which I also have listed, yet nicer. It is located off Briarcliff Rd., and you can also get there via I-85 South, two exits-get off on the North Druid Hills exit. There are several shops in the plaza along with a Starbuck, and there is a Bank of America on the way. North Druid Hills exit is the same exit as for Children Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA-note there are several locations) as well as the Brookhaven Greenway.

Food Scene

True American Diner. Serves 24 hour breakfast, waffles, steaks, etc., reasonably priced. They are known to have locations off most exits so if meeting someone make sure you give them the exact location. This is a brand new one; some of them are a bit dodgy. Do note that they have a jukebox along with Waffle House songs. I love the song *Overdoing, What We're Doing, Doing Good!* LOL

Great made to order pizzas (whole-wheat crust available) hoagies, and calzones. Casual booth or counter-top seating. Full bar. Few outdoor seats. It is located at the strip mall on LaVista Rd. opposite end of Best Buy, near the Wells Fargo Bank, and Chick-fil-A.

Yum. Love Chick-fil-A. Dine-in or drive-thru. I enjoy the Spicy Chicken Salad w/Creamy Salsa dressing (it's spicy) and the Garden Salad w/chicken, strawberries, blueberries, granola, sliced almonds w/Apple Cider Vinegar dressing. (less calories than the first salad). Their milkshakes and mac-and-cheese are the absolutely best. Watch out tho, addictive! NOTE Closed on Sunday.

Five mile hike/bike ride around the mountain which is the largest piece of granite in the world, or so they say. A beautiful carving on the side of the mountain and a light show is offered most nights. Lots of history here and you are able to hike or take the tram up the mountain. The hike isn't too bad. Lots of elderly, hum experienced people and kids do it, so if you are in reasonable shape you can too. There is a fee to enter and other offerings.

A true dive bar. Live blues music seven nights a week. No cover except for Friday and Sat. night. Small yet active dance floor, pool tables, long bar with reasonably priced drinks. I love this place and go during the week about 1-2 times a week. Music doesn't start until 10:00 p.m. Still, worth a 1.5 hour Wednesday night visit to experience the vibe. All kinds of people. GA Tech Students, business travelers, serious pool players, regular blues lovers of all ages. This blues bar, one of the most famous in the USA. Music until 2:00 am. Limited parking at the bar, yet several parking decks around. Dress: Anything goes.

Blind Willie's Blues Bar. Obviously, I love live blues music. Music here starts a bit earlier at 8:00 pm. They have a limited food menu which is reasonably priced and good drinks. Great red beans and rice, sweet potato fries, and jambalaya. Limited dance floor on Friday and Sat. $5 weekday cover. Sometimes host famous blues bands. Park across the street in paid parking. You can also find street parking if you look around, yet not all street parking is free, and they will tow you to the bowels of Atlanta, and you have to have your car registration (which is normally in your glove box, in the now impounded car) in order to get your car back so can be a big nightmare. There is a reason, I know so much about how it works. :-) I frequent this juke joint, so let me know and I'll clue you in!
