Historic Marietta Square offers a considerable number of venues with live music, open mics and great food to feed your need for some fun and excitement in the new year.
When you think of the arts and metro Atlanta, Marietta may not be the first place that comes to mind; however, downtown Historic Marietta Square is home to some very artistic places indeed. Rich in culture and heritage, Marietta Square boasts of concerts in Glover Park, arts and crafts fairs and a variety of area venues hosting bands, open mics and singers alike with more to come in 2011. "Marietta is about to explode!" says club promoter Eric Cagle, who is working with Kybele Restaurant in promoting their upcoming lineup of musical performers for the New Year. Kybele is perhaps known more for its popular Mediterranean burgers, Musaka (lamb stew over rice) and lamb gyros, than music; but it is also host to belly dancing, reggae bands, …

How to combat winter illnesses and where to go in East Cobb for vaccinations.
Cold weather has been around for several weeks, which is later than medical officials suggest for getting immunized from the flu. While that advance advice isn't always heeded, it's not entirely too late to fend off illnesses that spread during the winter. "I have to admit I was reluctant at first when my wife first started getting them [the vaccinations] some years ago," says East Cobb resident Mark Johnson, owner of the soon-to-open Legacy Pointe Academy. Johnson is not alone; awareness seems to be the single greatest contributing factor in the spread of the flu virus. Influenza, most commonly known as the flu, is a virus that attacks the immune system, making its victims weak and very sick for days, if not weeks. There are three …

This year's 'Picture Me' theme a big hit with students, parents.
Powers Ferry Elementary School celebrated its annual International Night last week, and helped bolster a sense of community at a school that tries to blend a diverse student body on a daily basis. "We have a diverse makeup of students here; this event gives them a chance to share a different side to them that we might not see every day," says Canadian-born teacher Jennifer Gates, who heads up the program. "To see their faces light up with excitement just from the preparation alone is truly a joy." While International Night is a signature event at Powers Ferry, Dr. J. Eric Tubbs, associate professor at Kennesaw State University's Educational Leadership program, notes the program originated at Wheeler High School nearly a decade ago. "I'm …
