This Is Bad News, People

I just learned that the Jittery Joe’s Roaster and Tasting Room downtown is going to have to relocate because a Wal-Mart and other chain stores want to build on that land. This is the best smelling and tasting place in the city to study or grab a cup of coffee! Also.. it’s beautiful and old and awesome… my 3 favorite adjectives. Also… a great place to take photos! The coffee! The graffiti! The coffee! The wooden floors! The coffee!

From Jittery Joe’s Facebook: Unfortunately, the rumors are true… The Jittery Joe’s Roaster and Tasting Room will be leaving its current downtown location early next year. We are saddened by the decision our community leaders have made to remove, rather than restore and preserve the character and potential green space of that area in favor of yet another Wal-Mart and other chains. Downtown Athens is a rich, vibrant, charming area of our county and we want to keep it as such. While we agree that revitalizing and growing to meet the needs of the area is important, to sacrifice small businesses in favor of more apartments and chain stores is the wrong move.

We encourage you to contact your commissioners and voice your opinion! As always, thank you for your support!

Looks like the owner of the land decided to sell to a developer. Anyone know what we could do to help stop this from happening?

EDIT: Sign the petition here! (Thanks Kgarv)

We are not against development of the Armstrong-Dobbs tract. In fact, we celebrate development for the opportunities it might bring our community to grow.

However, we are against the placement of a 90,000 sq. ft. Wal-Mart within the Armstrong-Dobbs development as an “anchor store.”

Please sign this petition to voice your support for an alternative vision of Athens’ future. We protect our small businesses. We love our unique culture. We are People for a Better Athens.

Automatic reblog. I was sad when the Jittery Joe’s at Five Points moved from their original building, but at least that was self-imposed. This is just too much. I’m signing this petition from 2,729 miles away.

When the Marines of the 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment deployed to Afghanistan, they left behind families who were desperate for information and grew frightened as the death toll grew. For 25 families, the news they received was the worst possible.

One sweet wedding…

I made some yummo raw chocolate truffles tonight

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:13:15 -0400

It is very easy. The ingredients are

1) Raw Cacao Powder

2) Raw Coconut Oil

3) Raw Sugar

for semi-sweet put 1: 1: .5 (cacao:coconut oil:sugar). Stir until you get everything evenly mixed (it will look like brownie mix) and then drop spoonfuls onto a non-stick surface and put into the frig. I garnished them with almonds and shredded coconut. I also added a spot of almond butter before eating one.

You could add all types of stuff…like fruit, nuts, granola…etc

Donate a Tree for Free with Odwalla Plant a Tree Program

Fri, 17 Jun 2011 18:04:02 -0400

For the fourth consecutive year, Odwalla is donating trees to be planted in State Parks across America, and you have a chance to tell them where to plant them. A total of $100,000 in tree donations will be received through the program, which has already donated $350,000 worth of trees over the last three years. I’m always complaining that I pay $4 for a juice or $3 for a snack bar, its good to know that this company is giving back…I can handle those prices a little better. Now lets get Starbucks on board with this idea (lol).

I voted for Georgia! See the video below. Go check out the link and vote …its free!

Your Nutritionista: The 2011 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15:

nutritionista:

The Environmental Working Group recently updated their Dirty Dozen list of the produce that tends to have the highest pesticide residue.

Topping the list? Apples, celery, and strawberries. Innocent looking, but conventional versions are chock full of pesticides.

According to EWG’s…
