Questions Possibly Related to Acworth, GeorgiaProvided By Y! Answers
What is best "Fine Dining" restaurant in Acworth/Marietta Georgia area? Question: I want to surprise a friend with a gift certificate to the nicest restaurant in the area where he lives. He lives in Acworth, Georgia which is also closest to Marietta, Georgia. I really want the best restaurant and money is not an object. Thanks for any tips you could send my way. Websites would also be helpful for the restaurants.
Answer:
Old Mill Restaurant, Seasons de Provence, and Fuscoe's are great and upscale restaurants that are in historic downtown Acworth. Of those three, I'd go with Seasons de Provence.
Caper's, in downtown Kennesaw (right down the road), is really good too.

Thinking of moving to the Acworth/Atlanta Georgia area? Question: Last year my husband came across a job opening in Acworth. I researched it online and it looks like a great town. However I would like to hear from someone who actually lives there or close by. We currently live in Florida and I hate it. I am looking for a small town feel but yet have all the shopping amenites a girl could need. Not sure if that exists. :) Good schools would be a plus which I heard they were great in Cobb County. I like the fact that it isn't too far from Atlanta (airport, things to do) and it has alot of housing which really appeals to me. If you have another town you would like to recommend, by all means! Or if you could tell me what you don't like, that would help too! Thank you!
Answer:
I live in Acworth, Cobb County Schools. I like it here but I nanny in Cherokee County (Woodstock, GA) in the Towne Lake Area and those are even better! It is a small more communal feel. They have shopping there and if you head down the highway there is the major mall just about 6 miles down.
Traffic in this area isn't bad at all (w/ exception of rush hour on the highway) I love it and feel VERY much at home in Towne Lake. They have everything from sports, theater (www.tlaclive.com), parks, GREAT schools, Also, if you take another highway over the Northpoint mall is within 30 mins. I nanny for 2 families one in Towne Lake and the other just north in Canton (www.bridgemill.com)
Bridgemill is an amazing family community. A little further from shopping but it boast a 3 acre pool, tennis (the teams are a key to social life!), golf course, play groups, a private fitness center, a restraunt in the neighborhood, and more! The prices there cover the entire spectrum! \\
I really enjoy our area. Kennesaw (just south of Acworth and even though my addie is Acworth I am closer to Kennesaw) has an historic downtown complete with train tracks and festivals in the summer! Its great just a lil busier and not quite as nice as the other areas I mentioned. Make sure your subdivision has a pool! Mine doesn't and there aren't public pools around (the YMCA is your only other option or the water park) so it is worth the HOA dues!
Also, Kennesaw State University (over 20,000 students) is super close so if you have college aged or near there kids they you can have college close complete with the HOPE scholarship!!!

Looking for a good nutritionist in the Marietta/Acworth area? (Georgia) Question: I am a vegan with another health problem that limits me to certain foods, I also might have another condition (will find out in a few days). I am also trying to conceive so with all this food restrictions and eating healthy I think I would really like to work with a nutritionist but I can't seem to find one online. I have viewed a few sites but they all sound like infomercials for some weight loss miracle.
I am not looking to lose weight, but just to help me make sure I make the right food choices so I get all the nutrition i need.
Anyone live in the acowrth/marietta area of georgia and have any recommendations for a great nutirtionist.
Answer:
See a dietitian, not a nutritionist.
The term "dietitian" is legally protected. Dietitians are registered with the American Dietetic Association and are only able to use the title "dietitian" when they have met strict, specific educational and experiential prerequisites and passed a national registration examination.
By contrast, anyone can call himself or herself a nutritionist and dispense nutrition information without any nutrition or educational background. [4]
Check out this article about a woman who saw a nutritionist and was suggested to detox and ended up with permanent brain damage;

Should we move to Georgia from California? Question: We are recently retired, own a small home in So. California on a main street in a fast growing town. We're unhappy with the fast growth, so many people, and too many cars. Because of our medical insurance and finances, if we sell our home and relocate, our only option to be closer to our kids is Georgia. We want to use the profit from the sale of our home in Calif. to pay cash for another home so we won't have a mortgage payment. We will be going there soon to check it out. Does anyone have any advice for a native Californian about Northern Georgia? Weather, bugs, etc.? We're looking at Cartersville and Acworth (just north of Atlanta).
Answer:
I was born and raised in Atlanta, so I'll tell you what I can.
By living in Ackworth or Cartersville, you should be able to avoid a lot of the growth that seems to be happening lately. I lived in Roswell and Marietta for a time, and I don't even recognize it anymore!! It's been a while since I've been up north, but that has always been a quiet part of the state.
We do have our share of cold winters, but that's nothing compared to the muggy summers. I was stationed in California for 2 1/2 years (Vandenberg Air Force Base near Santa Barbara) and the dry heat just didn't compare with the humidity in Georgia. Be prepared to find a pool or soak yourself with hose when May or June comes around!!!
Georgia also has it's fair share of mosquitos (especially far from the city areas) in the summer, so it might be a good idea to keep a can of "Off" on hand.
As far as recreation goes, Georgia has plenty to offer. If you like amusement parks, look no further than "Six Flags Over Georgia". While it's not as pristine as Disney or other parks with the "Six Flags" moniker, there are plenty of coasters to challenge all. Stone Moutain is a great outdoor spot to spend a long weekend. Be sure to head there in the summer to check out the nightly laser show. If you are a sports fan, downtown Atlanta is the place to be. Even if you are not a fan of the Georgia teams, you can go to Turner field for baseball (one of the best ballparks in major league baseball), the Georgia Dome for football, and Phillips Arena for hockey.
There are just too many things to list, so I suggest finding a guide to downtown Atlanta to find what you like.
The people are also very friendly. I have brought many friends from all around the country to visit my home state, and each person has commented on how friendly and helpful everyone is. I'm not saying there aren't any unsavory types in Georgia, but you will be hard-pressed to find one.
I hope this helps you, and I hope your move goes smoothly. Good luck with your endeavor, and welcome to "Hotlanta".
By the way...make sure you head to downtown Atlanta, and grab a bite to eat at "The Varsity". It's right off of I-75, across from Georgia Tech. It's considered by many Atlanta-natives to be the Mecca of fast food.

Shot in the dark....? Question: I'm thinking of buying a home in Acworth, Georgia. Is anyone familiar with Oak Grove Elementary? If so, pros and cons please...Thanks!
Answer:
Acworth Georgia is a great community. If you want to know more about the school you can check the schools stats on line.. You can also go visit the school personally, talk with the Principal, tour the school, and talk to some of the teachers.. Ask about their curriculum, and observe a class and the students.. This will give you a much better idea of whether you want your children to get their elementary education in that school. Regardless of the community you move to.. I would want to check out any school from elementary to high school that my children would be attending..
