Even though it is winter, we still need fresh fruits and vegetables so take advantage of the Marietta Square Winter Farmers Market. The market features over 60 vendors offering a variety of items that you most likely would never find in the local grocery! We look forward to walking to the market from Emerson Overlook!
This weekend is the perfect weekend to dust off the bike and take a ride along the Silver Comet Trail! Cobb’s section of the Silver Comet Trail is a scenic 12.8-mile multi-use paved trail that begins in Smyrna and travels west through southern parts of the county. The trail follows the abandoned railroad line once traveled by the Silver Comet passenger train.
The Silver Comet passenger train was introduced by Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1947. Originally fitted with an observation car and sleep lounge cars, it carried passengers through southern cities like Atlanta and Birmingham to destinations in the north such as New York, Philadelphia and Washington.
As passengers traveled across the countryside, they were treated to a variety of scenic vistas. Today the rail has been converted by Cobb Department of Transportation into a multi-use trail that is designed for use by all. Casual walkers, hikers, joggers, bicyclists, inline skaters and people with disabilities can all use the trail and enjoy the same sights once reserved for the train’s passengers.
Traversing six trestles and bridges, the trail offers spectacular views and direct access to Heritage Park, a natural park that includes approximately 105 acres with 14.3 acres of wetland in four separate sites. Visitors can follow the 1.7-mile walking trail to the remains of a woolen mill.
We are looking forward shopping on the Marietta Square this weekend – lots of shops, boutiques and galleries to preview! To preview all the shopping click here! While you are shopping on the square, stop by Emerson Overlook and shop for a condo! It’s a New Year with New Prices at Emerson Overlook!
We look forward to attending Mamma Mia at The Stand on January 14th at 8 PM. You can relive the fun and celebration with the sparkling Mamma Mia! Set on the colorful Greek island of Kalokairi, the plot serves as a lively background for a wealth of ABBA songs. Watch the drama ensue in this feel-good experience that will have you singing and dancing in the aisles. Live organ pops variety show and sing-along at 7:30 PM.
If you lived at Emerson Overlook you could walk to The Strand and enjoy all that the Marietta Square offers.
We look forward to ringing in the New Year with a bang at The Strand with “Down in the Boondocks” Billy Joe Royal and opening act: PARADOCS, a group of medical personnel who can jam with the best of ‘em. Billy Joe Royal used to work at The Strand before he hit it big in the sixties, and now he returns to the stage he once shared with his high school band, The Corvettes!
Emerson Overlook wishes everyone a prosperous 2012!
We look forward to walking from Emerson Overlook to see the Sanders Family Christmas!
