At 3.2 miles, Publix is a little further away than Kroger. But it may be more 'on the way' for you if you are going towards the highway or to the Town Center Mall area for shopping or fast food. I also PARTICULARLY like their deli sandwiches! (We like the deli so much that my teen son got a job there.)

Shopping
This is our area's main "mall". Shopping options within the mall and in the local area along Barrett Parkway are diverse, with excellent shopping and restaurants. Barrett Parkway is also a convenient place to hop onto Highway 75 to go south into Atlanta or north to Lake Lanier.

This more southern portion of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (KMNBP) is known as "Cheatham Hill". It is a nice place to drive if you want a little more history along with a short hike from the parking lot to the "Illinois Monument". This was the site of the most intense fighting on the Kennesaw line in June, 1864 and was the first area to be preserved in what eventually became KMNBP.
