Nickelodeon Parents' Pick for Best Local Blog in AtlantaWhat: The 7th Annual Phoenix Flies – A Citywide Celebration of Living Landmarks
When: March 6 – 22, 2010
Where: Several locations around Atlanta
Cost: All Events are FREE
The Atlanta Preservation Center sponsors this annual program that includes more than 160 events, from guided tours to lectures to open houses, at dozens of Atlanta’s historic sites. Best of all, it’s FREE!
There are so many great events during this celebration that it’s hard to choose. For kids, don’t miss a guided tour and storytelling at the Wren’s Nest, the home of Brer Rabbit author Joel Candler Harris. For older kids and adults, any of the Oakland Cemetery tours are great. Oakland is a fabulous place rich in local history. I’ve always wanted to take a tour of the Fox Theatre, whose rescue in 1978 was the impetis for The Phoenix Flies celebration. There are even events you can access at home via computer such as the Grant Park Virtual Dig.
Some of the tours require reservations, so check the Phoenix Flies website for activities, date and time, and whether or not you need reservations.
Hi there Sue,
I’ve enjoyed checking out your blog and noticed that you participate in Raveable.com’s badge program. UpTake has a similar program, called Travel Gems, that you might like to be a part of.
Here is how it works: If you link to an UpTake page in any of your posts (either an old post or a new one) and send us the URL then we will display an excerpt of this post on a relevant UpTake page (our travel site, not our blog) and link back to your post as well. It is that simple and helps increase visibility and traffic to your blog. The more links you create to UpTake, the more we link to you.
I’d love to give you more detail on how this works if you are interested!
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

I’ll take a look at it. Thanks.
