    On April 17, 2017 I walked to lunch at Peachtree Center and Bern Nadette Stanis (aka Thelma from Good Times) was in the food court selling books and photos. $20 very well spent.

  • RIP: Oakhurst Cheeto?

    (RIP = Restoration In Progress)

    Shocking news from Oakhurst — a city crew is right now removing the Cheeto sculpture from Harmony Park. What’s going in its place? Something safer such as giant, spinning razor blades? Maybe a cauldron of molten iron?

    I’ll always be grateful to the Cheeto. It taught me that my children’s bones are not as brittle as I feared.

    UPDATE: It’s being removed for maintenance and will return soon.
