Creatwood Tavern Spotlight

It’s an exciting time to be in Smyrna. This April the Braves will go up to bat in their new home, Suntrust Park. A mere 4 miles down the street sits the recently opened Creatwood Tavern bringing its own form of excitement—the sports bar has the honor of being Smyrna’s only rooftop bar. There’s much more to this place than just a snazzy rooftop, though.

Eye-Opening Experiences Traveling

Traveling this summer? I plan to go somewhere fun. What about you? I can’t figure out if I want to do something local or go international. Traveling is such an eye-opening experience in many different ways.
I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Hampton University in Virginia and my master’s degree from the University of South Carolina. You would not think that traveling to states on the East Coast would be drastically different from Georgia. My first eye-opening experience traveling came in college when I noticed people from Canada, New York and Washington, D.C. talk and act differently than people from Georgia. It seems like such a simple thing, but it really surprised me. I embraced the differences and took the time to explore the northern part of the East Coast during breaks from school. It was fascinating.
