To waitress a liquor license is needed in Canton, Georgia? Will a felony drug conviction interfere? Question: I am currently seeking a work as a waitress in a restaurant that serves alcohol. During a recent interview I was told I needed to obtain a liquor license in the city of Canton, Georgia in order to work as a waitress there? How do I obtain this permit and will a felony drug conviction prevent me from obtaining this criteria?
Answer:
Well in Ga, and Tennessee people who handle liquor have to have a ABC serving permit. Usually to obtain the permit it is a few hour course, and a test. Contact the test administrator or class instructor and ask if a felony conviction will inhibit you from obtaining the servers permit. A website you can find the information for obtaining a permit is www.cobbpolice.com/permits.htm

what are the animals i listen to at night in the trees near my home in canton georgia?
Answer:
since you did not tell the sound they make I can't be at all sure but if they sound like Katti-did they are called Kattie dids if they have more of a static dddddd sound they are cididas.
If the sound is a bird going whip poor wll it is a whiporwill otherwise called Bobwhite or Quail (their day sound is noye like Bob White a 2 note vs 3 note) If t goes sort of between ahoot and a cooo it is an owl.
If it howels and sounds like an old woman screaming in pain it is a bobcat. Stay away from it and keep pets in.

how can i get to canton georgia? Question: i already know the marta can't take me up there but is there an express bus, and how much will it cost to get there and get back?
Answer:
Wow! If Canton Georgia doesn't exist, than my friends are right. I really am going nowhere with my English degree. lol. Ok, but seriously. There is a carpool service that drives from Atlanta to Canton and back. I'll try to get the name of it. But, if you are just diving it is easy enough to get to. Just take I-75 north to I-575. Then exits 14 through 20 are all Canton exits. Historical downtown Canton is exit 19. There you can find city hall, the courthouse, and the best sandwich shop ever R & M Hoagie shop. You totally have to get one. Exit 20 is Rivertone parkway is Exit 20 so you can stop by there and see a movie at the Riverstone 15, maybe do a little shopping, or stop by the new Heritige Park. If you need transportation, there is a free trolley that the city funds that stops by all of the shops and parks.

The simplest solution - unless someone can just tell you is to go to www.yellowpages.com and look up banks in Canton. Eliminate the major chains like Regions and United Community and look for small local sounding banks. Fair warning most Atlanta area banks are part of Chex Systems.

On vacation in Woodstock/Canton GA. Fun things to do? Question: Anyone know of a couple of fun things for me and my girlfriend to do in and around Woodstock or Canton, Georgia. Arcades, karting, ice skating, theme parks. All that stuff is good. Any answers would be appreciated as I don't know the area at all.
:)
Answer:
There is a movie theatre in Woodstock off exit 8 (TowneLake Pkwy), there isn't much else in Woodstock, I would go south to Kennesaw, (where I live). There is Barret Pkwy, US Play (arcade, bowling, games, etc.). There is also Mountasia on Barret Pkwy, (putt putt gold and arcades). Town Center Mall is right there also. Hope this helps! Also go to California Dreaming for dinner and Iron Horse Steakhouse! Very good restaurants I promise.

Looking for a North GA partylite consultant? Question: I am looking for Partylite Consultant in the Woodstock/Canton Georgia area. Can anyone help me out. I hate the people that the partylite office, they would not give me anyone that I could call. They just wanted to send my information to someone to call me. I have issue with a previous consultant and don't want to end with her!
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!
Answer:
If this consultant is a team leader, then you can get in touch with her unit leader. If you are on speaking terms with this consultant, just ask for her unit leaders contact info. If you wish not to tell her why, just make up something. (like your interested in getting started with partylite). If she is a Unit leader, you'll have to get in touch with the HO. (home office) Email me if you have any questions. I'm a partylite consultant in illinois and i can ask my Unit leader if she knows any easier way around this.

First time visiting Georgia, wondering just how hot it is this time of year. Ideas for clothing packing? Question: I know it's supposed to be really humid but is it really bad? Should I only pack skirts and tanks? Will be staying from Tues-Sunday this week around the Canton area. Thanks!
Answer:
It can go either way. We haven't gotten in to the really humid time of the summer yet, but plan on shorts and t-shirts. Tank tops are suitable as well. You will be in the northern part of the metro area, so not too bad. You can also expect a lot of mosquito's, so come prepared for that. You can survive in jeans, its not that bad yet. But if you will be outside mostly, then be comfortable with what you normally wear for hot weather. IF you are not used to humidity, you will notice your skin is oilier, so pack a oil free moisturizer. Your hair may not hold as well as it would if you come from a less humid climate and if you have asthma, it may bring on some attacks. Overall lately we havent been having the bad sweltering humidity yet. But be prepared to sweat if you are outside, and keep hydrated.
Canton is closer to the mountains, so it wont be as bad up there as it is futher south around the city and more southernly. Hope you enjoy your stay here, Georgia is a great place to be. We do get some really good storms during this time of year and tornado's are common up there. So, if you hear a loud air raid sounding siren, take cover.
