SPLOST: Woodland Brook Drainage Project
Posted by thunsicker in Living, Vinings on May 19, 2012
Woodland Brook Road, a popular Vinings cut through, will undergo construction during six weeks this summer.
Revised details of the “SPLOST” Woodland Brook Drainage Project were revealed on Monday evening by Cobb County’s District 2 Commissioner Bob Ott and Engineer Bryan Ricks at an informational meeting at the Vinings Library. The plan calls for the replacement of dual 48-inch pipes that run beneath Woodland Brook Drive to be replaced with a 25-foot by 6.5-foot bottomless arch culvert.
Woodland Brook will be closed four to six weeks this summer, with a goal to have the road open to traffic again before school begins August 13. Construction is expected to begin shortly after Cobb County schools let out for summer on May 24. The exact date of the closing is uncertain at this time due to recent changes in the contract specifications which will no longer require the road to be raised.
While Woodland Brook Road is closed, “Village Residents” can use Randall Farm Road as a detour route. It is expected that Speed Humps on Randall Farm Road should prevent speeders along the residential street. Emergency response teams have been made aware of the pending road closure and have alternate plans to access the affected areas.
Signage providing detour direction around Vinings Village to neighboring communities will be strategically placed. It is hoped that as a by-product of the improvements, travelers who have used Woodland Brook Rd. as a pass-through to other destinations in the past, will find the detour routes more efficient for future travel.

Vinings Historic Preservation Society Easter Egg Hunt 2012
Posted by thunsicker in Living, Vinings on April 4, 2012
Vinings Historic Preservation Society Easter Egg Hunt was held last Thursday and it was a beautiful day and fun was had by all.
The Vinings Historic Preservation Society was beautifully decorated for the annual Easter Egg Hunt.
The party started with Atlanta’s famous story teller Betty Ann Wylie who captivated the children with her Easter stories. We got there early by mistake, so my son had a chance to chat with Aunt Betty Bunny before the event.
A special interlude with Betty Ann Wylie, Atlanta storyteller turned Easter Bunny and my son.
Everyone lining up to enter for story time with Betty Ann Wylie....AKA Aunt Betty Bunny!
Story telling time - very exciting and also a great lead in to the Easter Egg Hunt.
The hunt came next and after they were done they had treats of cookies and juice or water.
On the hunt for Easter Eggs!
Oh wow, I just looked back at the photos and the one with Chase and Aunt Betty Bunny is a skyline picture with the Overlook building in the back ground. I think this is one of the things that makes Vinings so special, we are a gem in the middle of a big city.
This event has become so popular that it’s only open to members and people actually joined so their child wouldn’t have to sit on the waiting list. It’s inexpensive to join and you’ll be on the mailing list for all events, childrens and adults alike. Click here to find out more about joining the Vinings Historic Preservation Society.
Wow! My son was featured in the Northside Neighbor’s coverage of the event! Click here to see some additional photos in the Northside Neighbor of the Vinings Historic Preservation Society’s Easter Egg Hunt.

Restaurant Review: Maggiano’s at Cumberland Mall
Posted by thunsicker in Living, Restaurants, Vinings on February 28, 2012
For Valentine’s Day my sweetheart wanted to go to Maggiano’s at Cumberland Mall. I usually enjoy going to this restaurant as it seems like a great value, it is kid friendly and is so close to our home in Vinings.
When we went to make reservations the only time available was 5:00 and we booked via opentable.com (always quick and easy). That’s OK as my date gets his bath around 7:00 and is usually in bed by 8:00pm. Also, they sent me a $10 coupon for my next visit which is nice.
The children’s menu is varied and is only $4.95 including their ice cream. We always end up taking the leftovers home for a second meal there is so much food.
As far as the quality I’ve seen a degradation since the last time we were there:
- I remember them using fresh grated parmesan at the table before and now you have to request it and its in a shaker – ugh, can’t eat that type.
- Also, they used to have the balsamic vinegar at the table for your bread and that had to be requested as well.
- Additionally I believe the quality of that has been reduced or my taste buds are becoming more discriminating.
I had the chicken piccata which was good with a side of angel hair pasta and Chase had the penne alfredo with the fake parmesan cheese.
It was packed and service was mediocre—perhaps a fluke because it was Valentine’s Day?? My recommendation is that Maggiano’s is good for “family friendly” meals, but not the type of Italian I’d be craving regularly.
