If you are a longtime resident, you know that a lot of places in this part of the state shut down for the July 4 holiday, often closing a week or more. The habit reportedly stems from the old textile mill-based economy and the practice of closing the mills for a week or two this time of year.
I think it might also have to do with the time-honored southern traditions of slow-cookin' barbecue, drinking beer on the patio, and heading to the beach in a desperate attempt to escape the dog days of summer. (Course, if that last one were really the case everybody would shut down for the entire month of August.)
At any rate, I've been told about a few holiday hours I'll pass along:- County Line Cafe in Luthersville is closed until July 6th
- Nick's Pizzeria is closed Saturday (also closed at lunch July 3 but open Friday night)
- Rogers BBQ Luthersville is open Saturday until 2:30 pm
Grantville's Hidden Treasures will be
OPEN on Saturday. This year's holiday marks the anniversary of the very first "Monthly Market." Leann will be offering some
GREAT DEALS to folks who stop by...and DJ is sure to have some yummy watermelon on hand. A lazy drive down Highway 29 including - "the old highway" that is now Main & LaGrange streets - is a great way to make an adventure of your holiday excursion to Moreland, Franklin or Newnan for July 4 activities!!

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." (Teddy Roosevelt)
