History of Tallulah Falls and Isabelle's
It was in 1870 that the Shirley Hotel was built and the legendary resort era of Tallulah Falls was born. Following the Shirley Hotel, came the Young Hotel and the Chasm Brink Hotel. During the 1880's, elegant hotels like the Cliff House, the Tallulah Lodge, The Robinson House and the Grandview were constructed. People were so enchanted with the beauty of Tallulah, tourists from many states flocked to Tallulah Falls for vacations. The community of Tallulah Falls, incorporated in 1855, became one of the most popular resort towns in the southern mountains of Georgia. During its prosperity, the Tallulah Falls railroad extended its line of destinations to North Carolina, further into the Blue Ridge foothills. The Victorian house of Pine Terrace, which is now Isabella's Restaurant, was built in 1880. It was at one time occupied by the President of the Tallulah Falls Railroad. The Moss family also lived in the wide porch, picket fenced, Queen Anne design and they raised their children there. The resort town continued to boom until 1913, when the falls were dammed by the Georgia Power Company. This plus the extension of the railroad, and the great fire of 1921, which burned River Street, brought about the end of the Tallulah grandeur. Isabelle's Restaurant, named after five generations of Isabelle's, was opened in the summer of 1996 by Nancybelle and Paul Almoyan, it's proprietors. It is their vision to help make Tallulah Falls, once again, a historical experience with delicious and special times for a new era.
August Luncheon At Brio's in Dunwoody
Many thanks to Jean Kammerer who made arrangements for us to dine at Brio's on Ashwood Parkway in August. The food was exceptional! (Sorry, I lost the list of everyone attending.)
Allie Jones shared her good news that her home had sold and she would be moving back home to North Carolina in a week to be near family members.
________________________________________________________________________Bettye the Blogger -- Back from the Convention in New York
Believe it or not I did survive the trip to the GOP Convention in New York City and did not even meet a protestor face to face. We cannot thank the NYPD enough since they did a fantastic job and made all of us frightened southern girls feel very safe. I now know why the NYPD, the NY Fire Fighters and Rudy Giuliani are such heroes in that city. Rudy gave the best speech of his life Monday night at the convention. Rumor has it that Rudy may be running for President in four years against Hillary. If you have not already done so, you can take a look at the Georgia Daily Diary pages by clicking here. There are five pages archived on that web site since the GOP Convention web site will be taken down soon. If you are a staunch Kerry supporter, we discourage your going to that site since it may cause a severe headache. ;- )
It was a wonderful experience, and I am so glad that I did attend even though I arrived home completely worn out. I had to forgo some of the social events since I spent easily four hours a day in my hotel room on the computer preparing these daily diary web pages which had to be sent to the webmaster every day by three p.m. Editing the zillions of photos which I took during all of the events was really time consuming -- but fun.
I am happy to be safely home again. This was the first time that I had flown since 9-11.Bettye
