i got to see my first lamborghini in person this week while working in senoia, ga! besides maybe metal detectors, lamborghini’s were definitely one of my biggest childhood fascinations.

i have been working in senoia, ga this entire week. yesterday, my buddy ian and i got up early to check out this amazing mill before work. we had noticed a nearby historical marker earlier in the week and decided to stop by for further exploration. we ended up finding this beautiful old mill, called starr’s mill, next to a gorgeous waterfall. according to the historical marker, the mill was built in 1907 and operated until 1959. it was very picturesque, especially with the fall foliage!

i’ve been working in senoia, ga this week. it’s fairly close to peachtree city, which is about an hour south of the atlanta. the fall foliage is quite pretty here, especially in luther glass park.

ever wonder about the history of local venues? i often do. after a little research on the variety playhouse, i learned it was originally a world war II era movie theater called the euclid theater, open from 1940-1962. although faded, you can still see the movie theater sign on the side of the venue, which is in the picture above. after a long dormant period and a brief re-opening as a movie theater in the 1980s, the variety playhouse as we know it today opened in 1990.
