For those of us who have a sweet tooth monster, here's 10 local family-owned spots to buy sweet treats that are fresh. Enjoy every bite!

1. Cheesecake Heaven

There are no words good enough to describe how delicious their cheesecake is! They have 30+ flavors and none of them disappoint! They have large, mini, and bite-size cheesecakes, cheesecake stuffed chocolate covered strawberries (oh my word!), brownies, and a few other yummy treats. It's the blue house on Tyler Street. Ya can't miss it!

2. Mama Wilson's

Calling all cookie lovers! If you haven't tried a cookie from Mama Wilson's, you have to go. They are seriously some of the best cookies I've ever had! The key lime cookie is my favorite. You can go in and buy a few cookies, a gift box, order a cake, or ship a box of cookies to someone. It's located in downtown Dalton on North Pentz Street.

6. The Sweet Spot

Surely you've been to The Sweet Spot. If not, they offer self serve frozen yogurt that you can pile high with your choice of fruit, candy, cereal, cheesecake, and even brownie bites onto. They also have soups, sandwiches, Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, fresh fruit, coffee, a hot chocolate bar. Go fill up a cup or cone with your own froyo creation!


7. Ice Castle

This place always gives me nostalgia. My mom used to take me here, "the place with the huge ice cream cone", when I was a little girl. I was in love with their bubble gum ice cream that has little pieces of gum throughout. I must admit, I went a few months ago and got the bubble gum ice cream, and I still enjoyed every second of it!

8. La Esperanza Bakery

I almost passed out the first time I walked into La Esperanza. I had no idea that they offered SO MUCH FOOD! It's impressive. It's a bakery that offers a wide variety of Mexican/Guatemalan bread, delicious three-milk cakes, and all sorts of other goodies. I leave with my front seat full of stuff anytime that I go. This is an authentic Mexican bakery right here in Dalton that you must visit!

9. Joyce's Tasty Treats

10. Downtown Dalton Farmers Market

I can't help but mention the Downtown Dalton Farmers Market! Last week I bought two mini loaves of bread. They were so good! There's a variety of local and fresh sweets offered at the Farmers Market, including local honey. One of my dear friends, Michelle, has sold her fresh milled scones, pizza dough, breads, cookies, and homemade butter at The Downtown Dalton Farmers Market. A picture of her scones are below (they are to die for). Go check it out this Saturday!

P.S.- If you have something that you make or grow, you should go sell there! Contact Tanner at tanner@downtowndalton.com, if interested.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
