Blown away at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center!
In this episode, Tommy and I are looking for something to do locally on a rainy day and we decide to check out our town's art center. We were completely blown away by the talent and amassed a huge wish-list of must-have items! The Quinlan Art Center is free, and because of that, we hope that our local viewers take advantage of the opportunity to see some incredibly talented Georgia artists and patronize a place that brings so much enrichment to our community. After viewing the incredible art, we attempted lunch, yet again, at the Collegiate Grill in Downtown Gainesville, only to be disappointed -again- by it being closed. We ended up at the Mellow Mushroom, and even though pizza is my number one least favorite, the food was still good and the service was amazing. If the food isn't enough to draw you in, you should totally go for the historical home setting! Links: <a href="http://www.quinlanartscenter.org">http://www.quinlanartscenter.org</a>
