The Depot in Historic Olde Town
The Conyers Depot is definitely one of the favorite tourist attractions in Olde Town. The Depot was a working station until 1972, when passenger rail service between Atlanta and Augusta was stopped. It now serves as a social gathering place and is maintained by the Rockdale County Historical Society. This Conyers landmark is surely the heart of Conyers.
The Dinky Alongside the Depot is “The Dinky,� a 1905 Rogers Steam Locomotive that ran service between Conyers and the neighboring mill town of Milstead until 1961. The engine was used to haul cotton from the main line to the textile mills. It is one of only three of its kind in the world.

A Conyers Classic Gets Even Better! Featured Restaurant - Baan Thai Thai Cuisine
by Jessica Smith
If you haven’t had the gastronomical pleasure of dining at Baan Thai, you need to try it. Cited by the AJC as “a rare treasure: an affordable clean restaurant with fabulous, creative food”, Baan Thai is a local gem with a wonderful, eclectic menu running the gamut from a wide variety of seafood, the usual suspects of beef, chicken and pork. Starting with their standard, yet delightful, Coconut Chicken soup with mushrooms and galanga root in a lemony coconut broth as well as an incredible seafood version featuring shrimp, scallops, mussels and squid, to the spicier Tom Yum Shrimp soup, the menu is jammed pack with winners. The Pan-fried Crab Cake appetizer served with ginger-roasted pepper sauce should not be overlooked. Baan Thai is a mecca for seafood lovers. Among the Favorites is the Panang Salmon, sautéed salmon enhanced with a slightly sweet peanutty chili curry sauce served over fresh veggies. The Thai Spicy Shellfish, featuring shrimp, scallops, mussels and squid sautéed with onion, bell peppers, Thai eggplant and basil in the chef’s secret spicy sauce is another can’t miss. One of their special entrees is the Pan-fried Filet of Seabass topped with spicy shrimp, mushroom and basil sauce. Continued on the next page

A Conyers Classic Gets Even Better! Featured Restaurant continued Thai Cuisine
For the faint-of-spicy-heat, fear not! The Masaman curry, choose chicken, beef or pork slowly cooked with avocado, onion, cashew nuts, red peppers and potatoes in a mild aromatic curry, will give you great Thai flavor with minimum heat. They also offer several great vegetarian dishes and a terrific lunch menu packed with lighter fare choices, lunch-sized and combination specials, as well as a great, accommodating children’s menu. In addition to their sublime food, Baan Thai provides a pleasant, low-key exotic atmosphere and friendly & attentive staff and are open 7 days a week! Newly redecorated! 8
