10 Local Carrolton, Georgia Businesses To Support During the Quarantine

South of Heaven

These businesses need us now more than ever. Here is a list I compiled of local places in Carrollton, Ga, over my time spent at the school. Some places I have not even tried, and now I want to go even more. Enjoy, let me know your favorite local spots!

1. Irish Bred Pub

The go-to place for a night out on the square but it also had the best food. Their bbq chicken Mac and cheese bowl is the bomb. They are now doing take out!

2. South of heaven BBQ

I have only heard great things about the little restaurant inside of the purple mansion. They are now offering take out too where you can get their delicious bbq sandwiches and other items to go.

3. The Squire Shop

A place I have always loved to shop for all things preppy pre-corona and they have great sales as well. They are now opening their doors, taking all the precautions.

4. Jules & James Boutique

A boutique close to campus that I've been to a few times pre-corona. They are also opening their doors but they are also offering curbside pick up if you want to FaceTime them what you want to pick out.

5. The Little Donkey

The lazy donkey's sibling is close to Walmart. Really great service and Mexican food are located here. They are also offering curbside during this time

6. Rethread Thrift

The owner of this store is the sweetest, lots of great options in the store too. The store also supports the ministries. They also are opening their doors and allowing curbside at the moment.

7. Carroll 168 Donuts

Some of the best donuts that I have had in town. They are so delish, no kidding (blueberry is my fav). They are also doing curbside!

8. McGhee's Bakery

I love this bakery in town, their treats are to die for. They also have cookie kits. They are now doing pick up and drive-thru.

9. 4 AM Coffee Roasters

I actually have not had their donuts or coffee but I plan on it, I have heard great things. I believe they are also doing pick up as well.

10. Jerry's Country Kitchen

I love their breakfast food, you will not go wrong with them. They are also doing curbside at the moment, making sure their Facebook fans know.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

University of Denver

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
