Growth is happening everywhere in Warner Robins




I listen to the news and I read the news (online) and I hear about the economy and I know it has slowed down in much of the country but here in Warner Robins we are seeing signs of growth.

Passing Houston Lake Road and Hwy 96 today I was amazed at the progress of the new Kroger Superstore coming to that corner. ( I hope it has gas pumps) I love my 10 cent discount with my Kroger card.



Then drive right around the corner onto Houston Lake Road in front of Shenanigans and you will see a new Chinese restaurant almost completed. I am way excited about this one also. It is being opened by a local couple who already own another restaurant in town. It has the appearance of being upscale and a great date location.
Then if you continue on to the 247 connector you will see the lot cleared for a new Publix grocery store that they have not started building yet but it is coming.

We have some great things happening in our little neck of the woods and I just wanted to share it with you. Have a wonderful day!

Guess Whats coming to Warner Robins



Have you driven down Houston Lake Blvd lately?
Have you noticed a nice new BIG building going
up in front of Shenanigan's? Well I have it from an inside source that it is........






Drum rollllllll please.




A new Chinese restaurant by the same owners as Top Wok
Rumor has it that it will be called BENSONS and it will be specialized
Chinese food.
I for one am so excited to have what has the makings of a great date night restaurant, with atmosphere, good food and not a chain follower.
So when it opens be sure to stop by and try out one of Warner Robins newest dining experiences and lets keep the small business owners of Houston County in business.
The greatest gift you can give me is the referral of your family and friends, If you or anyone you know is thinking of buying or selling please call, text or email me and let me make it easy for you.

Spring time in Macon Georgia


One of my favorite things about living in the south is that starting in March the town of Macon is draped in cotton candy pink Cherry Blossoms everywhere. We have just finished a very rainy festival celebrating the over 300,00 Yoshino cherry trees in all their amazing beauty.

Did you know that Congressional records list Macon Georgia as the Cherry Blossom Capital of the world? It is said that if all the Cherry trees in Macon were planted 10 feet apart side by side they would stretch for 500 miles.

My favorite part of the history of the Cherry Blossom festival is that it was started by a local Realtor, named William A. Fickling, Sr . In 1949 he found a tree growing in his backyard and was awed by the unique beauty of the tree and set out to find out what the tree was called, but it was not until 1952 on a trip to Washington DC that he discovered the name of the tree. He then learned how to propagate the Yoshinos and began freely sharing them with the community.

As the years passed and the number of Cherry Trees grew they spread all over Macon and with that the start of the Cherry Blossom festival started. Despite its humble beginnings, the festival has become one of the Top 20 Events in the South, Top 50 Events in the U.S. and Top 100 Events in North America. It has grown from a three-day festival with 30 events, to a 10-day celebration featuring hundreds of events planned to entertain all ages and backgrounds.



Originally a sleepy Southern town, Macon has now become a bustling center of beauty and international friendship. It roots began with a man who possessed a deep appreciation for beauty and a passion for horticulture, and of course a love of Real estate.

So as the Cherry blossoms are replaced with the dogwood blossoms I wanted to share some pictures of Macon with you. My assistant Cheryl sent the pictures to me. I wish I could give credit to the photographer but I have no clue who it was.

So for those of you in the North look what we in the South are enjoying.



The greatest gift you can give me is the referral of your family and friends.
