The important part is that Chief came in trump trolling acting like he's a police offers in stead of being compassionate bout the situation.

Hot on the trail of my ancestors! I came to Marietta to sniff out traces of where my Great…read moreGrandfather Xs 3 settled and bor children in the 1830s. Yes, almost 200 years ago. I really didn't know exactly what I expected to find so, I had no agenda but, to get a feel for the geography and maybe discern a reason they would head for Texas in the 1850s. Marietta is north of Atlant in Cobb county. I found a thriving metropolis surrounding verdant hills with huge trees. Looking closer I found traces of the old Marietta. Before General Sherman burned it in 1864 during the civil war. There are only two original buildings downtown left from that destruction. One is now the Marietta History Museum. I'll cover it in another review but, it is one of the best small museums I've ever visited. Visiting the Marietta City Cemetery gave me a feel for the Old. It's on a hill close to downtown and I could imagine from here, the coalescing of a small dusty town forming in the distance. In that town, my great-grandfather xs 3 became the 4th Sherriff in 1838. After spending a day exploring the area I didn't come away with anything you would consider "concrete". However, I do have the satisfaction of knowing they were here in the early days of pushing westward of our country. That's exciting to me. Especially in light of the fact that I'm sitting close to where they settled in Texas and I do know that history very well. My current day assessment of Marietta for those possibly interested in moving there. I found it to be a great little city that I myself would live in. It's got a special feeling that's hard to put in words. I talked to a lot of people and most are from somewhere else. Marietta is a great place to live,work,retire they said one after the other.

That said, we actually had a great time. My grandson enjoyed pushing buttons and pointing at things. I'm not exactly sure what he was saying, but he smiled the whole time. Nobody else was in there when we arrived. As we were leaving, a couple of more families were arriving. The only thing that I would advise is that apparently, you are not supposed to allow your kids on the engines. We didn't see the sign until we took our photo opportunity. They might want to put a sign on both sides of the engines. Otherwise, a great time was had by all.

My man Jack makes an excellent cheesesteak…read more I'd seen a comment or two that the meat might be a little puny, so I ordered extra meat, and it was perfect. Double meat would have been too much, it would throw off the meat to bread ratio. Plenty of thin sliced juicy steak, with the veggies and cheese just all melting together. The bread was so soft, the whole generous cheesesteak was a joy to eat, I hardly needed to chew it. I'm seriously thinking of getting another one tomorrow.

The pepperoni and salami plus the grilled red onions and banana peppers with the hot sauce crushed!

You'll see historic markers throughout the area. Today, it's a charming southern town with a downtown, upscale shops and restaurants. The downtown area has historic Paces House for events, Old Vinings Inn, fire station, library and Orient Express (railcar resto) and Vinings Jubilee shopping center. Farther out, there's Canoe and Crispena restaurants that I enjoy. Traffic can be rough on week days as the main road is a 2 lane Paces Ferry (get it?) and there's a CSX rail crossing. On weekends, though it's nice to walk around the Jubilee, pick up new balsamic vinegars or EVOOs at Oli & Ve, grab a cup of coffee from Read Shop or people watch at one of many restos.

It was just as nice as I remembered, maybe even a little nostalgic for me. The trail was calm and not too busy, but there were still enough people around to feel comfortable/safe without feeling crowded. It's perfect for families out for a stroll or a casual bike ride, and also great for runners and more experienced cyclists. Fall seems like one of the best times to visit. The tall trees lining the trail were beautiful, creating a really serene atmosphere. I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy some quiet time outdoors. Being outside and taking in the beauty of it all was motivation enough to keep walking, and we ended up walking for a little over 4 miles. A great alternative for a trail in the metro area if you don't want to deal with the hustle and bustle of the beltline. Can't wait to go back!

Speaking to the boss is pointless because he literally knows nothing about the field (his words exactly...) he's just an idiot with a money. (My opinion). I ended up getting a quote from a competitor and was waaaaaaay cheaper for the same exact thing. If you want bad customer service and bad work, this is the company for you. In fact... if you really want bad service, ask specifically for "mickey" and his team. I will never ever use this company again and I advise you not to either.

I've hesitated to review this company hoping they would redeem themselves in some way, but it…read morehasn't happened in 18 months. Response to our multi-dwelling buildings has only gotten worse. FPS was hired by our management company to monitor and maintain our fire sprinkler/fire suppression system and its equipment. After spending more than $30,000 in equipment replacements in the last year, they still cannot find the source of an ongoing problem and their after hours "emergency" monitoring is a joke, even when their system is malfunctioning and endangering lives. Residents have to call the fire department and other essential personnel to arrive on scene and mitigate the damage caused by this system as the 24-hour "emergency" staffing sounds like a college kid who has no idea what you are saying and sounds like you just woke them up when you call it as the fire suppression equipment floods the entire garage (true story). When a power surge from a storm in Atlanta damaged some of the electrical monitoring boxes in October of 2020, it took weeks for FPS (5 different techs sent out with 5 different answers) to respond and replace the boxes. Daily these boxes will set off an alarm, which should trigger the 24/7 fire monitoring company - also FPS - to call our management with a notification that they are seeing an alarm. The management company hasn't had a phone call from the fire monitoring service in over a YEAR and the box in one building beeps very loudly several times a day before frustrated residents silence it. The CEO and management and every technician working at FPS is aware that our issue is not resolved, yet they sent another bill for $2900 even after their tech told us that the equipment for that invoice wasn't needed and wasn't installed ("No need for you to spend money on items you don't need" was a direct quote). Then that tech changed his story a week later after his CEO snuck on our property without our knowledge or authorization and "checked some things" and claimed to have fixed the problem. Rather than call and explain the situation, the CEO had the tech call and change his story. The tech was right because it didn't fix the issue, but now we have $2900 in items we don't need. The problem goes on and the CEO and every "Customer Service Manager" at FPS is aware of our problem but refuse to answer our management company's emails or respond to their phone calls. Our next step will be litigation after termination. Do not hire this company. Fire Protection Services is being reported to the BBB for fraudulent practices and inflating invoices, as well as poor customer service. One star because while their techs have no idea what they are doing (there is one guy who seems to know - the one who suggested we not pay for items we didn't need), they at least show up on time. When they show up.

My son and I shared the breakfast tasting which is basically a combination of all their breakfast staples. I would definitely recommend for first-timers as a way to try a little bit of everything. It came with a choice of a pancake or French toast. My son wanted the French toast so I added a pancake on the side. After tasting both, pancakes were definitely better than the french toast. Trust me. The restaurant is very small so we had to sit outside on their community patio seating. It was a HOT day in September so thankfully they provided fans to sit at the tables which made it more comfortable. I would highly encourage making a reservation for your visit. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough and I cannot wait to come back.
