Cheeseburger – The Rusty Nail

7 Comments

IMG_4460Now, granted it is a dive, but doesn’t that usually give us the greatest surprises? IMG_4461I have to honestly say everything I have ever tried here has been very good and no I have not tried the lasagna yet. Their wings are awesome, but I came for the cheeseburger. Cheeseburger 8I am not sure what the gold record is for, I will check it out next time. Cheeseburger 3The bun is toasted perfectly. The burger was cooked perfectly and it was delicious.

Cheeseburger 2The Rusty Nail is located on Buford Highway, near North Druid Hills. (The fries were great too!)

Another day another trail….IMG_4429All around Atlanta there are BeltLine Trails. This one is about a mile long and runs from Bobby Jones Golf Course IMG_4441This is a running, biking and walking path. The path runs along Tanyard Creek.IMG_4450There are two great playgrounds an open field that turns into a dog park when people get off of work. It goes underneath a railroad trestle.

It then goes through Ardmore Park IMG_3409You can walk up to Ardmore Road and then go up to Peachtree Road and follow it back down to Colonial Hills Road and complete the loop. IMG_4448I will show you some more trails this year, whew there are so many.

Walking the Trail Again

4 Comments

IMG_3996It has been so rainy for so long in Atlanta, it was so beautiful today. IMG_4394The trail starts out on a sidewalk and changes over to a boardwalk through the trees.IMG_4404It is so peaceful and tranquil. IMG_4400I should do a video so I can walk you through the trail with me. IMG_4425Then there is this really cool tree. It is the kind of tree that looks like it will come alive and grab you. Unlike the tree that sticks its tongue out.IMG_4428
