A recent article in the MDJ regarding low attendance at our local Museum of History is cause for concern. This is a wonderful place, with much work put into the display of the collection of historical artifacts. The heart of this museum, Dan Cox, has poured his passion for local history into every inch, and he is supported by a fine, dedicated staff. They would love to share, show and tell everything they know about the past of our city with you. If you have not checked the museum out yourself, please support our local historians by visiting the museum. Bring your friends and family and encourage others to do the same. You can visit the Marietta History Museum online at their website: www.mariettahistory.org for more information.
So, what do you think? Are people less interested in local history these days? If so, why? Share your opinion!

Nestled right next door to the Strand Theatre renovation project lies a hidden gem in the making. The Three Bears Cafe is a breath of fresh air to the Marietta Square. This quaint little cafe on the Marietta Square has absolutely incredible food and is easily mistaken for a cafe somewhere in the heart of theVirginia Highlands or Little Five Points.
Three Bears Cafe features a unique blend of health and flavor. The menu item that caught my eye first was the Sweet Potato Pancakes which are served with awesome maple butter. They come in three (obviously) and are incredible! They feature breakfast served all day and also have an awesome selection of sandwiches, salads and wraps.
For dinner, their feature item is the marinated ostrich filet served with parmesan risotto and wild mushroom duxelles.
We are a huge fan of this new, hip cafe in Downtown Marietta and suggest you try it out for yourself! You won’t be let down!

This morning, we visited the new Emerson Coffee Company coffeehouse on Roswell Street. From the outset, the design work caught my eye. The outside of the building has an old-school, art deco style, especially in the silver lettering of the company name. Once you’re inside, welcome to the modern era! The layout of the store is spacious and clean, with an amazing concrete floor and beautiful colors. Lighting fixtures are industrial and subtle. The location boasts a wall-mounted, flat-panel TV, which had a news channel on when we visited. The volume was very low so it wasn’t intrusive. You also have the luxury of a free, wi-fi internet connection in the cafe.
I enjoyed a double regular Americano with my cheese streusel muffin. The espresso in the drink tasted good and the muffin was tasty. For a limited time, Emerson is offering an “opening special” on several of their latte drinks. They even have a drive-thru for commuters, which is convenient.
If you’re looking for a great place to relax and enjoy some coffee, give the new Emerson Coffee Company location a try. They’re located at 358 Roswell St, Suite 1200, right past the central library (going east) and across the street from the cemetery. – Emerson Coffee House Marietta

“The 1st public meeting for “Mapping Cobb’s Future” will be held on Tuesday, March 14th. See below for more information March 14th, 6:00 PM, Commissioners Hearing Room The Cobb County Comprehensive Plan is the guiding policy document for all land use and development regulations in unincorporated Cobb County, and for regional services throughout the County including transit, sewers, parks, trails and open space. ”
There are going to be several plans reviewed at this meeting. I encourage all our readers to take part in the meetings and the future of Cobb County and Marietta.
The meeting will be located in the Board of Commissioner?s Chamber, which is located on the second floor of building ?A? at 100 Cherokee Street in Marietta. The meeting will contain a brief presentation to inform the public about the Comprehensive Planning process, as well as provide an update as to where we currently are in the process.
After watching the new West Park Government Center take shape over the past few months on top of what was once an old Kroger, I have come up with the conclusion that old complexes can indeed be turned around for the betterment of the community. I was skeptical at first when I saw they were going to just re-face the old building, but it has really turned out to be quite an aesthetically pleasing development.
Not only has the building itself been completely renovated, but the parking lot has been resurfaced and the landscaping looks great. I think there are other key ‘abandoned’ shopping centers in Marietta that could definitely learn a lesson from the outstanding job the West Park Government center has done in reshaping a previous ‘eye-sore’ in the area. Do you have any thoughts on redevelopment? If so, please share them with our readers using the link below “Share your opinion!”
