From the Founder With a busy summer season underway, we’ve launched a Facebook page for My East Cobb (@myeastcobb). We encourage you to visit and tell us all about the people in the neighborhood who contribute and do good things for the community. Do you have a favorite librarian, dog walker or crossing guard? Are there important developments taking place you want to share?
Also, with a new school season approaching, we would love to have input from you for My East Cobb’s Schools of Excellence special issue.

And just like East Cobb has been experiencing a total renaissance, we’ve been undergoing our own period of change and growth here at Atlanta Best Media. We recently welcomed Laura J. Downey to our team. Serving as our company’s managing editor, Laura brings with her more than 15 years of editorial experience (including PEOPLE magazine and Forbes Travel Guide) to our six hyperlocal magazines including My East Cobb, My Sandy Springs, My Buckhead, My Alpharetta, My Intown, and My Vinings/Smyrna, and our flagship publications, My Home Improvement (formerly Atlanta Home Improvement) and Best Self Atlanta. Wishing you lots of summertime fun from all of us at Atlanta Best Media.

Get To Know Your Carpet • Wool is considered the premier fiber in carpet construction. It is soft, has excellent resilience and durability. • Nylon is the most commonly used fiber for carpet in the industry and is historically regarded as the most durable synthetic fiber. • Triexta, made by DuPont, offers the wear advantages of nylon but is more stain resistant. • Polyester is considered the “value fiber” and is naturally stain and fade resistant. • Olefin, also known as polypropylene, is the most stain-resistant fiber and is primarily available in Berber and commercial carpets.

B O W L E R • B L O C K C A P TA I N • C R U C I V E R B A L I S T * By Stacy Moser
Longtime East Cobb resident Joyce Carter, who is 98 years young, talks about life in her favorite city.
How did you end up living in East Cobb? My husband was transferred here when my youngest son still lived with us after our older three kids went off to college. That was in 1975. He worked for Carborundum, which made grinding wheels and sandpaper. He showed me a brochure for some beautiful new homes in Indian Hills Country Club … and then we relocated! I was born in New Jersey and joke that I’m a “damn Yankee!” I think now I’ve graduated to a true Southerner since I married a boy from South Carolina and I’ve been in Georgia for over 40 years. I’m even the block captain in my neighborhood. I give new homeowners information about the area. I also bring them cookies and brownies—I help where I can.
What’s your Fourth of July tradition? It’s not what you know—it’s who you know! My friend lives on the first hole of the Indian Hills golf course. We get to watch fireworks from her backyard. Years ago, the Cobb Symphony Orchestra used to come and play a concert—we’d sit around the pool on the Fourth and enjoy the music. I tell people that I play around on the golf course. It’s fun to get out in the fresh air with my friends even though I’m not very good at golf anymore. When it’s too hot, though, I think to myself, ‘If someone else told me I had to do this, I would say no.’ And that’s when I go home. We also enjoy bowling. I eat what I like, I drink occasionally—everything in moderation. And I do “The New York Times” crossword puzzle every day. It’s hard! It keeps my brain working.
When you’re out and about in East Cobb, where do you go? I love to have my nails done at Nail Pros Tan & Spa. We like to eat at LongHorn Steakhouse, which is right up the street. My dear friends love Seed Kitchen & Bar. It has the best wines! The first time we went there, I offered to pay for the wine. They all ordered the most expensive glasses! Now, we just share a bottle! It’s very good. *Cruciverbalist: A person skillful in creating or solving crossword puzzles. Merriam-Webster.com

pressed into service as a presenter at the last minute. “I had a ball! Later, I did more cooking presentations at the Viking Showroom, The Cook’s Warehouse, and the Buford Highway Farmers Market.” But he says a near-death experience in 2013 motivated him to start a charity. “I had a heart attack during a cooking presentation at ladies night in front of hundreds of people. It was one of those surreal moments where you ask, ‘What am I really doing here?’ I was inspired to help others because I got a second chance at life.” Alex founded the Gathering Industries program with his friends Chef Lake Dawson and Amber West. “Lake and I formulated the concept, Amber and I put it in motion,” he explains. “We give homeless people a fictitious toolbox. We show them how to fill it with life skills—how to work, how to present themselves, how to have a good attitude. We talk about their toolbox constantly. That work ethic helps them work for other chefs.”

“Instead of poking these guys with a hot prod, I’m in front of them, pulling them along. I catch them doing something right. If I acted like a macho dude, they would run away. These are really eager guys who just want a second chance. We give them a safe environment to rebuild their lives.” Gathering Industries’ trainees create gourmet boxed lunches as part of the program. “Companies and groups order them for meetings or events. The word is starting to get out,” Alex smiles. “But what we really need is donations. We need a kitchen that we can take over instead of sharing space like we do now.” His favorite item on the menu? “We make our own ‘shmear’ for our veggie sandwiches. We took the roasted veggies and blended them with a touch of oil and lemon— this became our spread called ‘shmear,’” he says. “We should bottle it to sell retail. It’s out of this world.” To order boxed lunches for your next meeting or event, or to donate to Gathering Industries, go to GatheringIndustries.org

When he isn’t crafting recipes in the kitchen, you can find this culinary master sharpening his golf skills. “I’m a glutton for punishment by golf,” says Alex Reethof. “I love to play though my game is marginal. But that doesn’t stop me. I still keep going back out there.”

Traveling is important to Alex and his wife, Lori. The two make it a point to share their love of jet-setting with their children. By focusing on experiences instead of gifts, they surprise their kids with a yearly trip—nicknamed RUMBLE (Reethof Unexpected Mind-blowing Liberating Experience)—around the holidays. “We send out a RUMBLE save the date to our children. And then on that date, they find out where we are going,” he says. One year, the family ventured to New York City the day after Christmas. Other trips led them to New Orleans and Blue Ridge, Ga.

Candance Kimbrough-Green, M.D. D E V O T E D D O C • D a dd y ’ s G i r l • R e - N ester By Alex McCray Candance Kimbrough-Green, M.D. is truly her father’s daughter. The successful dermatologist was inspired by her dad, Clarence Kimbrough’s longtime career as a family doctor, and the support of her mother, Catherine Kimbrough, to pursue medicine. “I would go to the hospital with my dad as a child and do rounds with him,” Kimbrough-Green says. “They really didn’t have doctor’s outfits for girls so I’d have my nurse’s outfit on and a little hat.” Her dad had a major hand in shaping her career. “He really was a huge influence on my life and he was a great man,” she says.
[ [
In 1998, she made her way to East Cobb and joined Dermatology Consultants. “One of the most rewarding cases I have had is one that integrated both the medical and aesthetic sides of dermatology,” Kimbrough-Green says. “One of my dear patients presented with a lifelong asymmetry of her face that was only partially corrected by surgery in childhood.” Using a combination of injectables to create greater muscular movement and hyaluronic acid fillers to restore fullness, Kimbrough-Green was able to improve the patient’s facial symmetry.
One of the most cases I have had is one that integrated both the and sides of
rewarding
Now, with three grown-up children, Kimbrough-Green is reimagining her life in the area. After contemplating moving in town, she realized East Cobb still provided her with everything she needed for her new chapter. Her biggest change has been trading in her family-friendly home to build a house that better suits her life as an empty nester. “It’s a ranch with a lot more open space, a view and an entertainment terrace level. I can finally catch up with some of my friends and have more of a social life after having kids and pretty much solely focusing on them and work.” She’s thrilled with the evolution she’s seen the community go through during her nearly two decades here and looks forward to what’s next. “I think the restaurant scene as well as the shopping has become a lot more sophisticated over time,” Kimbrough-Green says. “I love The Avenue East Cobb, Seed Kitchen & Bar and the new Muss & Turner’s—that’s been wonderful. Marlow’s Tavern is almost a once a week trip for me.” DermatologyConsultants.org
