A while back, we got friendly with this Tunisian fellow who has a booth at the local farmer's market selling items carved from olive wood from Tunisia, very nice fellow, bought some stuff. He told us he had opened a furniture store in Marietta NW of us a spell and he asked us to visit, which we did. He explained the store was divided into sections, one part was appliances operated by an Indian guy he knows, his part was, well, nice in spots, and rough in spots, but the nice stuff was nice, and inexpensive.
In chatting he mentioned a French restaurant a bit further in Marietta which we tried, and it was good. The lunch bill with tip was under $50, which is good these days. I had beef bourginon (boeuf). My wife liked hers, and they have a bakery where we spent more money on ... baked goods. My wife ate the croissant on the way home and said it was great.
So, a nice find for us, it's a 30 minute drive with no traffic. Marietta appears to be thriving, a lot of traffic and "stuff" around their square. It's out past the baseball park NW up I75.
