Atlanta bound? Home of the best greens ever!
Who would have thought the home of Scarlett O’Hara would give us the best-tasting collard greens ever . . . courtesy of a Mexican restaurant?

Read MoreTouring Glennwood Estates
Here we are in lovely Glennwood Estates, an old established neighborhood in Decatur, Georgia.
