| Family Tradition: A Cherokee Tradition | | 2007-09-19 12:01:00 | | When my wife & I used to live in Canton off Hwy. 140, we would sometimes stop by Family Tradition resturant for lunch or dinner. We knew it would taste like a meal at Grandma's. They are known for their home cooked meals at very reasonable prices.Not only do they have a location in the Hickory Flat area on Hwy. 140 between Canton and Roswell (a new building - the old one has since been torn down), but they also have a location off of Towne Lake Parkway at Rose Creek Drive in the Publix shopping center.My wife dined there yesterday with her friend Gina. They had a delicious meal, ordering from the daily specials that included chicken & dumplings, fried green tomatoes, beef tips, meatloaf and a variety of fish. Meals come with a meat and either 2 or 3 veggies. The daily specials change but they also have fried chicken, salads, burgers, sandwiches and soups every day. The children's menu includes chicken tenders, grilled cheese, burgers, meat/veggie plate, shrimp and catfish. Family Tradition has plenty of cozy booths but also large tables. While there yesterday, the girls saw several large groups dining together. This group, some of Woodstock's finest and bravest, were enjoying their lunch together and the girls were thrilled to see them there.(Thank you for your service, guys!)Both resturants are open from 5:30 AM (a delicious breakfast) to 8:30 PM Monday through Saturday. Did I mention that they cater? When the food is that good, you almost have to cater!For more information on Family Tradition Resturant, you can CLICK HERE or call them at 770-852-2885. | | By: Cherokee County GA Real Estate | | |

| Homeschooling in Cherokee County | | 2007-09-05 21:06:00 | | One of the questions that I am often asked about people who are reloacting to the area is if Cherokee County has good schools. Yes! Many of the county public schools are very good. We also have a great charter school and a few really good private schools.What we also have in Cherokee county are loads of resources for those families, like mine, who choose to take the responsibilty for educating their children themselves. We homeschoolers are a very diverse bunch, but one thing we all have in common is the ultimate goal of providing our children with an excellent education. Cherokee County is rich in opportunities for such families.Living Science, located off of North Arnold Mill Road, is one such treasure. This is a hands-on study center, not a school. As a Study Center, it is designed to support parent directed education. The Timothy Ministry is a lay ministry of the First Baptist Church of Woodstock.

Bob Barr, Author of The Barr Report and Former US Congressman, will speak to Cherokee CPR on Monday, June 18th at 7:30pm at Creekview High School in Canton, GA.
