From what I understand Blue Ridge is a part of what is known as the greater Appalachian Mountain Range that spans from Georgia all the way up the coast to Pennsylvania... From Atlanta it's about 250 miles on up here if you live in the downtown area. It's a popular tourist area with rental cabins and loads of gift shops. I've been coming up here since I was kid. It's a popular destination in the fall for bus load of kids from school or various youth groups to come up here to visit the apple orchards. They also have lots of fall activities such as hay rides, pumpkin patch, corn maze and of course bonfire and ghost stories!) It's a lot of fun to get out here away from all high tech activities and just enjoy the fresh air and talk to the locals. The area is known for good fudge, coffee and BBQ. Everywhere you go there is a BBQ place and all the shop owners are super approachable and friendly to tourists because most of the people that come in are tourists.... If you're in town for a few hours definitely try these shops 1. Three Sister Fudge https://www.3sistersfudge.com/ 2. Blue Ridge Olive Oil Company https://www.blueridgeoliveoil.com/ 3. Mercier Orchards (make sure you try their fried apple pie) https://www.mercier-orchards.com/ 4. Canoe (handcrafted jewelry, bags, and accessories made in Blue Ridge, GA https://www.blueridgemountains.com/directory/canoe-jewelry-gifts/ ) 5. Huck's General Store (all things old fashioned and low tech https://www.blueridgemountains.com/directory/hucks-general-store/ ) 6. Das Kaffe Haus (they are famous all over North Georgia for a good, consistent memorable cup of joe. High quality and no snobbery) https://www.escapetoblueridge.com/blog/das-kaffee-haus/ There are plenty of free parking and paid parking for about $5 a pop. Even though it can get super crowded on the weekends, I've never not found a parking spot...btw google isn't really helpful for finding public parking in this area of the state. Most of their photos are really old and do not reflect the renovations and the major face-lift the city has undergone in the past 10 years....try Tripadvisor or Facebook for more recent photos...

Re. Sole elliptical machine ordered from store 301 in Canton, GA…read more Paid for delivery and assembly. Elliptical machine was not assembled correctly: 1) Handles were installed upside down. 2) Power cable was run underneath machine instead of through the frame and will become worn with use as the machine is actually resting on top of the cable. 3) This incorrectly installed cable also makes the machine base unstable and renders the machine unusable due to the instability. 4) Rear panel was not attached and fell off on first use. 5) Parts fell off on first use. 6) The adjusting feet on the bottom of the frame are missing, so the frame actually rests on the ground rather than on the feet it was supposed to rest on. 7) Re. the point about the adjusting feet, there were no spare or loose parts left by the assemblers, so I must assume that they took any leftover parts with them to cover up their incompetence. After paying over $1000 for a machine and additional fees for assembly, this is not acceptable. The Assembly personnel were incompetent, resulting in these issues and the unusable condition of the machine. The two assembly personnel arrived at 5PM and spent 4 hours incorrectly assembling the machine, leaving shortly after 9PM. That said, I would advise people to steer clear of Dick's incompetent assemblers and pass on the offer of equipment assembly when purchasing equipment from this retailer. Assemble it yourself and avoid the headaches and being left with a machine that is not usable. To be honest, this is the first time I have ordered assembled equipment and it was delivered unassembled to the house. Most retailers have staff dedicated to the assembly of items, which are assembled in the store and delivered to the house in an assembled state. This deficient approach to the assembly of customer's orders baffles me. EDIT 11 Feb 2025: We have been in contact with both Dick's Sporting Goods customer service and Sole Fitness warranty service but this issue still has not been resolved. We are still stuck with an unusable elliptical machine.
