Aimee, what? I thought y'all were coming!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were, but then I got a job interview in Michigan and our leave date got pushed back - we're leaving tomorrow instead of today and after 4 days in the car and then 2 days in a hotel, we're afraid the pets would eat us.
Key Lime Pie is a neat spa right down the street. Not the cheapest, though.
Here's some other neighborhood places:

Not listed but likely of interest to some of us is Soul Vegetarian which might make a nice lunch or brunch place.
Sad that there will be no Miracleborns, but good luck with the interview.
I think I will go ahead and order some stuff (if only to cement our reservation for the room). How does this sound:
Veggie platter
Hummus tray
Jalapeno dip w/chips and salsa
Spanakopita tray
Maybe one other item, like chicken bites?
With tax and tip that would come out to about $300.
The party menu is here if anyone else wants to weigh in on amounts/choices. [link]
Manuel's has great wings, but it appears to be cheaper to order them from the menu, The spanakopita probably started life frozen, but I think it does in a lot of places.
I know very little of the spa, as my fingernails will attest. I can recommend a hair salon, a woman who does threading and a chiropractor. I have known several people who have worked at Natural Body [link] and I've seen some good reviews. We'd have to drive, but there are three that are within 15-20 minutes. I can check with the people at the salon to see if they recommend anything in walking distance.
My one true hair guy is (or was) at Van Michael's, down the street from Key Lime Pie. I should call and see if he's still around.
If he's not still at Van Michael's, one of my hair stylist friends may know where he is. The hair styling world in Atlanta seems to be pretty incestuous.
Thanks for checking, Ginger. I will be without wheels, so any spa-nail-place out of walking range would require a driving-fairy.
