I enjoy getting around by bike, mountain biking, native plants, fruit and vegetable gardening, dogs, snakes, alt-rock (especially from the '90s), and anything else that is good!

I love the beautiful Art Deco facade of this building at 75 John Wesley Dobbs Ave in Downtown Atlanta!
Built in 1930 by architect G. Lloyd Preacher for the Freeman Ford car dealership, it's was converted to apartments in 1996.
A car dealership converted to homes! Very cool.

I had to pick up something in town today and I decided it would also be a good opportunity to liberate some trees from invasive English Ivy in one of our parks.
