Trying to Figure out where to Live in Atlanta?
Posted by thunsicker in Atlanta Real Estate, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Neighborhoods, Uncategorized on July 9, 2019
Atlanta is known for its influx of relocation clients. Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Georgia Properties is the largest Relocation provider in the city. Often when I have one of these clients, they are trying to figure out what area of the City to live in. I just saw this post on Facebook and it made me chuckle, but hopefully it will be helpful to people in their search. Vinings isn’t included, but its often been described as just like Buckhead without the lipstick. Enjoy!
Play time in Atlanta

Summer is here and we are all looking for things to do with our children. I ran across this great article – a list of Atlanta’s Top 10 Parks and Playground. Some of these might be old favorites, but it’s always good to learn about new parks when you need to mix up your summer routine.
Run, Swing, Slide: The 10 Best Atlanta Playgrounds
Before summer starts to swelter here in Hotlanta, it is time to take this outside, parents. We scoured the city and rounded up 10 playgrounds that are a breath of fresh air and a guaranteed boredom buster. These parks have something for everyone—even the grown-ups. Consider this your bitty’s bucket list. Enjoy!
While our local Vinings/Smyrna playgrounds didn’t make the list, I’ll add my own recommendations:
Vinings: Cochise Riverview Club (members only): we have our own great playground by the pool.
Smyrna: There is a great playground by St Benedict’s. It is very clean, and young and older kids both enjoy this one.
Smyrna: Just up Atlanta Road is Taylor-Brawner Park. Besides having a great playground, it is also the site for Smyrna Food Truck Tuesdays. Take your kids for the playground and stay for dinner or popsicles.
Buckhead: Beaverbrook Park. It’s very quiet and has a lot of shade for these hot, summer days.
Rainy Days: We’ve all used McDonalds and Chick Fila in a pinch or on a rainy day – can’t beat it.

Are any of these your favorites? If not, where are your go-to playgrounds or parks?
Upcoming Vinings Restaurant Week!
Posted by thunsicker in Living, Neighborhoods, Restaurants, Vinings on September 11, 2013
Come one, come all to the Second Annual Vinings Restaurant Week from Oct 5th-13th.
If you already call Vinings home, live just across the river in Buckhead or over the RR tracks in Smyrna, you are probably looking forward to another great restaurant week. Besides the fact that these are all great restaurants (we’ve tried all of them!), eating locally gives us a chance to run into friends and neighbors while we are out. We will make it a point to visit as many of these restaurants as we can.
Each place will offer fixed price menus – $15, $25 and $30.
These are just a few of the eighteen neighborhood restaurants participating in Restaurant Week! With so many great places to choose from, you’ll find something to suit anyone’s taste including dessert and breakfast/brunch/lunch for you early birds.
If you’ve found this link because you are searching for a Vinings home, this is a perfect opportunity to see what the area has to offer. Grab a friend or come out and make a friend. We looking forward to seeing you there!
For you locals – which of these restaurants is a must-visit? If these places are new to you, which one are you most looking forward to trying?
