OF HISTORY AND BEER

SERVED UP AT LOCAL PUB

s r e che

Brothers (l) Brent, (m) Chris (r) Joel St. Vrain—Green Line Brewery owners.

BRENT, CHRIS, AND JOEL ST. VRAIN

Green Line Brewery takes its name from the outdoor interests of the owners and brothers, who have a passion for surfing, fishing, rock climbing, hunting, and anything related to the great outdoors. The name also evokes the spirit of the former Green Rail Restaurant, which once occupied the narrow, historic space.

Three brothers are brewing up some tasty beer and barrels of fun in a historic space in the heart of downtown Canton.

took their passion for making small batch beer and turned it into a unique experience that includes friends, music, and a love of beer at their local brew pub, Green Line Brewery.

Green Line occupies the former Green Rail Restaurant space, a tiny sliver of real estate carved out from an alley that once ran between two downtown buildings, and the brew pub is a happening place when open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

“We love beer, we love everything about beer; we love the taste, the fragrances, the smells, but most of all we love getting together with people to drink the beer,” Brent says of the venture.

Where better to serve up evenings of drink and song than in this historic building where memories literally speak out from the old walls. How the three men came to buy the space almost seems like fate.

PAGE 3

The brothers were in downtown Canton one day in 2015 and stopped to look at the front of the building. The owner, who wanted to sell, saw them and literally dragged them inside. Ten days later the three had completed the sale and the narrow space was theirs, Brent, a Canton area resident, recalls.

“We picked Canton to build our house and we love it here.

Being a part of the community is important,” Brent explains.

“From the mayor to the council to the community, everyone has been super supportive of us.”

On this particular Saturday afternoon the camaraderie of Green Line with the community is apparent. City Councilor Will Carlan drops in, and many of the regulars are gathered to celebrate the birthday of Green Line manager and vice president Hannah Atkins. And, of course, to sample the beer.

Brent says while they all love the brewery, the main objective is to establish the company’s beer profile, and work on “what beers we would make and take to market.”

Building Has Rich History

The Green Line Brewery manager, Hannah Atkins, makes sure the fun and music are always flowing at the pub.

In the five years after they bought the building, Green Line perfected three recipes, and the first, Allenbrook Lager, was publicly launched in 2020. Allenbrook is available in area restaurants and liquor stores across the metro region. Some of the restaurants where it can be found include Branchwater, Riverstone Corner Bistro, Union Hill Grill, and Mellow Mushroom.

William R. Green Sr. was the original owner of Green Rail Restaurant. Green was an entrepreneur, businessman, rural mail carrier, and state legislator at various times in his career. In 1923 Green bought the B. Frank Coggins Mercantile Store from Coggins and turned it into a barber shop and emporium with such features as hat blocking and a shoe shop. Branchwater now occupies the building.

Their second beer, Shirtless IPA, is set to launch in April. Brent points out the brothers like to keep their business local and that they hired artist Shanna Colter, a Cherokee High School art teacher who helped paint the mural on Railroad Street, to do the design work for the new beer can.

In 1930 Green sold the store to Georgia Power but retained the alley that ran down the side of the store. He turned the alley into a narrow space that later became the Green Rail Restaurant, one of the most popular eateries in downtown Canton history.

With a commitment to pairing music with beer, Green Line features local musicians on the beer cans. For Allenbrook, Cody Bolden was the featured artist.

After the St. Vrains purchased the space for the Green Line Brewery, they were in the building one night sampling and brewing when they noticed a small spot on the left-hand wall where the concrete was worn off. Underneath they could see brick.

Cody is a singer-songwriter based in Canton, who performs in the area at various locations including Green Line. Those who purchase Allenbrook are able to scan the QR Code on the can and listen to his music.

They started scraping the concrete away and by four in the morning had exposed the brick wall, which revealed an old mural. “We saw the brick under the concrete and realized that we were seeing something that had been covered up for almost 100 years,” Brent recalls.

For the new release of Shirtless the can will feature the music of Scott Puckett and Greg Shaddix. Scott, a Canton native, can often be found performing at Green Line. Greg is a great promoter of Green Line and other local venues, Brent said.

At the top of the wall the message, “Answer Promptly, Phone 73,” is spelled out. Some of the items sold at the store­­—Hats, Furniture, Milner, Groceries, and Feed Stock—are all faintly visible on the brick wall.

The brothers brew up some small batch beer in the downtown brewery, including their Christmas Beer, Holly Hopper, and their fall flavor, Black Pumpkin Spice. They also make a popular cider, Raspberry/Lime, which is a favorite of patrons in the warm weather months. Production for Allenbrook and Shirtless is done at Big Kettle Brewery in Lawrenceville.

That was not their only discovery as they mined the old building for clues of its past. The basement of the building appeared to have a dirt floor, but as they dug down they discovered it has a slab. Today, the basement serves as a fermentation room for their small batch brews, as well as for storage.

The brew pub features a selection of “Build Your Own Tacos,” as well as quesadillas and a taco salad for those who want some food with their beer. Families are welcome, and Brent says children love drawing on the cement wall where customers are urged to leave their mark.

The three brothers love showing off all the history the building offers, as well as plenty of great beer and music. The three also love their city. “We like being involved in the community,” brother Joel says. “We want to be that person to help out when someone needs something.”

Green Line Brewery is located at 192 E Main Street, Canton.

A cheerful spot in a historic storefront on North Street in downtown Canton is serving up a delectable menu of delightful baked goods, over-the-top treats, and plenty of fun-filled events.

Bananas and Beehives is the dream come true for New Orleans transplant Laurie Sutton and husband John. For Laurie it began with a lifelong love of baking and the desire to have a family eatery where she could share her passion for baking with others.

Laurie and John Sutton love to bring smiles and happiness to their customers with their small-batch French pastries and desserts.

“I come from a long line of cooks and bakers. From as young as I can remember I have loved baking. I love the challenge of it,” Laurie reminisces. “When I was younger I loved to help my mother cook, and when she was finished, she would let me have the kitchen to bake. I would be in my own little world.”

After meeting and marrying the love of her life while he was in the U.S. Navy stationed in New Orleans, the couple moved back to John’s home state of Florida.

Eventually his career brought him to north Georgia, and that is when the two discovered Canton.

“We found Canton and fell in love with it. It is so beautiful. We have been in Canton ever since,” Laurie shares. “I had wanted to open a business forever. It took me four-and-a-half years to find a place to rent in downtown Canton. I love everything about Canton, the small town, the historic ninety-year-old buildings, the friendly people. In New Orleans there are a lot of little mom and pop eateries, little hole in the wall places, most of them family operations. It took me years to find this spot, but here we are.”

Regulars and new customers alike fall in love with Laurie’s wide assortment of croissants. Laurie explains, “The croissants, both savory and sweet, are favorites.

We do a lot of the things that New Orleans is famous for. I love croissants and I just decided that was what I wanted to make. We do almost any flavor, almond, chocolate, feta and spinach, plain.” Pop tarts, made with puff pastry filled with a choice of yummy fillings, then covered with sprinkles and baked to perfection are another treasure.

Bananas and Beehives also includes a mouth-watering array of cookies, petit fours, and breads of all descriptions and flavors. Cookies are a favorite of Laurie's, and that was the first recipe she developed and perfected. For her cookies, she starts with a base of vanilla, oatmeal, or peanut butter, and then adds ingredients to stir up everything from chocolate chip to dark chocolate strawberry to marshmallow fruity cereal to chocolate covered espresso bean cookies.

Then there is the ice cream. Laurie has dreamed up all sorts of special treats like her extreme milkshakes with a dessert on top and plenty of whipped cream to finish it all off, and push pops made to order with ice cream and toppings. And if that is not enough, there is also popular Alma coffee available, as well as a full menu of other drinks both hot and cold.

Laurie chose the name Bananas and Beehives for her shop after seeing it in a blog. She decided it fit her plan to be flexible in what she offers on a daily basis at the bakery, rather than tying her to one product. Everything is made fresh daily and when it runs out, it is gone. Each day offers new possibilities for deliciousness. The bakery is the perfect place for children, and offers cookie baking classes, birthday parties and tea parties for youngsters.

Bananas + Beehives is located at 186 North Street, Canton.

A commission of devoted art enthusiasts from all mediums will soon use a broad brush to breathe new life into the cityscapes of Canton.

The Canton Cultural Arts Commission (CCAC) hopes adding more public art to the city will help celebrate all Canton has to offer in nature, culture, and history.

“We are so excited to begin our work to add public art to the city of Canton. We are currently working on creating a Public Arts Master Plan that will give structure and direction to our work.

Some of the projects that we are working on include public arts grants, art in our parks, and a signature event,” Canton Theatre Director Kristen Norton explains of the group’s plans.

Among the projects on the drawing board is a new mural in historic downtown Canton and a project for the basketball courts at Boling Park. Other goals include adding art to celebrate the Sunnyside Community at Harmon Park in the heart of the diverse community.

A signature event scheduled for April 2023 will celebrate film, the living arts, culinary arts, and visual arts, Norton says.

The aims of the commission are to highlight natural riches, celebrate regional history, and make the city and life in it more beautiful.

The vision of the CCAC is for the streets, parks, events, sites, and lives of Canton to be made more beautiful and meaningful through a collective and sustained effort to incorporate, celebrate, and promote the arts in Canton, Norton shares.

“The CCAC was formed with the understanding that art—be it visual, tangible, permanent, or living—can and should enhance a city and the lives of its residents and visitors alike,” she points out.

Goals are to put Canton on “The Map” and create places and opportunities for community interaction and engagement. The commission also wants to celebrate all Canton has to offer. And, of course, to generate tourism and business through and around art— both directly and indirectly.

“The Canton Cultural Arts Commission will work to support and fund cultural arts activities, programs, and exhibits. By advancing arts and culture as an essential element of life in Canton, we build community and connectivity while increasing economic development opportunities and promoting tourism. I’m so excited to be working with this group of volunteers on public art initiatives, events, and more as we really try to capture the synergy between culture and commerce,” Canton City Councilor Brooke Schmidt says.

Arts commission members are excited about the plans and ready to see art take center stage in Canton. Each of the commission members brings a positive perspective to the group.

Amy Kesler

“Personally, I like art that makes me smile and improves my day.

I believe art is important to the community to provide a spark of energy into our daily lives. As a community, we can use art to inspire our neighbors and to help build unity among all of us.”

CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION PUTS ART CENTER STAGE IN CANTON Elaine Federico

“The arts are important to me because I personally have witnessed the profound impact of performance and visual arts on myself and my family, and it is my mission to bring the same kind of inspiration and soul-healing energy to the community around me.”

Jamie Foreman

“Art is essential to a vibrant community. People don’t often consciously recognize the importance of art to an area, but they feel it when they enter a town where it is embraced. Picture a town without music, murals, good dining, or interesting architecture. Why would you go? Art is a place maker, a human connector, and a way to celebrate the unique attributes of an area and its people. Being a part of the Cultural Arts Commission is not simply about installing murals; it is about celebrating our cultural identity and creating a sense of belonging for our community and anyone who visits the Coolest Small Town in America through the arts.”

Theresa Shampine

“Artists have a deep desire to not only create, but to share their creations with others. Fostering an environment that not only facilitates the ability for artists to grow in their crafts, but also gives them a platform to share their creations with local audiences is essential to having a thriving, diverse, and unique community. I am anticipating a wonderful surge of visual and performing arts in Canton and know that it will impact our city’s future immeasurably.”

Rob Walker-Bunda

“The arts are important to a city because they are a visible, audible, and tangible distillation of the people and history, and culture of that city. Making art public allows both residents and visiting persons alike to learn from and enjoy the diversity of perspective and experience that any city has to offer. Through responsible and intentional implementation of the arts, we can teach, celebrate, commemorate, and improve the lives and quality of life in our city. All while making it a more attractive, inclusive, and inviting place to live in or visit.”

Bryan White

“I am an alumnus of Reinhardt ’84 and we moved back to the Canton area about two years ago. My wife and I have been entrepreneurs and artists for more than thirty years, and we previously lived in a community that removed many of their historic buildings in the name of ‘progress.’ Canton is unique in its character and charm and I believe it is extremely important to return that while expanding its artistic beauty. I am honored to be a part of Canton’s pursuit of becoming an art destination in the Southeast.”

Haley Whyte

“The arts provide the opportunity to gather with people from all walks of life. It strengthens the bonds between people that live in the area. Art in the community can also lead to setting the community apart and attracting people, which in turn helps boost economic growth.”

Passion for fashion leads to unique shop in downtown Canton

Mandy Phillips, owner of B.LOVED

Mandy Phillips

found her passion for fashion early in life and at only twentythree years old started her online clothing boutique, B.loved.

Three years later she opened her brick and mortar store in the historic Galt-Grant building on the corner of East Main and Marietta streets. As a student fresh out of college she loved the thrill of building up loyal online customers whose orders were filled out of her parents’ basement. As her business took off, historic Canton provided the perfect backdrop for her appealing style of clothing, gifts, and accessories. Ten years into her business the Cherokee County native and Sequoyah High graduate is a true local success story. We caught up with Mandy to learn more about her exciting journey.

Bohemian hand-beaded necklaces featuring stones such as turquoise and tiger’s eye, Western-inspired boots that transcend the seasons with quality craftsmanship and lux materials, clothes, and hand-finished leather handbags await you at B.loved in downtown Canton.

This signature candle is sure to captivate with its aromatic scent created just for B.loved.

What inspired your love of fashion?

What is the focus and the ways you help your customers?

“I found my love for fashion in high school. It wasn’t until my sophomore and junior years of high school that I developed an interest in fashion, then completed my senior project on owning a boutique. I grew up playing sports and was always in athletic clothing. You couldn’t get me out of them! In high school I began finding my sense of style and have loved clothes and the fashion industry ever since. I then went on to college at American Intercontinental University where I earned a bachelor’s of fine arts degree in fashion marketing.”

“A comfortable, safe environment to shop and feel loved. Many customers call B.loved their happy place. We want our customers to feel good and loved by what they put on. We want B.loved to be more than just clothes and pretty things. We have a box of kids’ toys in the back where our kiddos run to, so moms can enjoy themselves while they shop. We also want B.loved to be the place to find unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with good quality. When I go to apparel shows, I look for items that are different and well-made.”

What led you to open a clothing shop in downtown Canton?

“Once I started my degree, I had an interest in buying and one day owning my own retail shop. When I graduated we were in a recession and I worked part-time and had the idea to start an online business first. B.loved was first an online store at ShopBLoved.com and launched November 2010. A couple of years later I got a call about the space we are currently in, asking if I was interested and ready in opening up a storefront for B.loved.

Construction began shortly after and we opened on one of Canton’s First Fridays—September 6, 2013.”

How did you choose the name of your shop and what does it mean?

“I looked up the meaning of my name Mandy, and the definition was ‘someone who must be loved.’ That is what we want every customer to feel when they make a purchase from B.loved.”

What are some of your favorite fashion trends and styles?

“Fall and winter clothes are my favorite. I love to layer throughout fall and winter, mixing and matching it all. I have more boots than I do sandals in my closet. A few of my favorite things include a good hat, shackets, overalls, graphic tees, tie dye, and plaid. I like it all.

This season I’m loving all the blazers and sneakers.”

SHOPBLOVED.COM

What are three qualities that got you where you are today?

“WORK ETHIC, DETERMINATION, AND PASSION.”

What life experiences and lessons helped prepare you for owning your own business?

“Make sure your heart is in it. One thing I learned and advise to others, and I think contributed to my success, was starting small as a business. I started the website in 2010 selling out of my parents’ basement, and then opened up the retail shop in 2013 as my fulltime job. Believe in yourself and don’t give up. Always be willing to keep growing and learning. Support and inspire other people in your industry and help each other.”

What is your philosophy about how fashion enriches life?

“It’s no question that what we wear is who we are because fashion is a way for us to express ourselves and even how we feel. I wanted B.loved to be a place for myself and others to create, love yourself, and be able to be yourself.”

What is most rewarding about what you do?

“Meeting and creating relationships with our customers and them leaving the store after finding something that makes them feel excited and good. I love seeing a customer come out of the fitting room feeling pretty and confident in what they have on.”

100-Year-Old Mill Offers Modern Historic cotton mill a unique place to live

F

or those looking for a truly unique and modern living experience in a historic setting within easy reach of downtown Canton, the answer is waiting in what was once the Canton Cotton Mill No. 2 just across the Etowah River.

Canton Mill Lofts offers one-of-a-kind floor plans, each with its own features that include the original stained concrete flooring, exposed brick, duct work and timber, large factory windows, and soaring ceilings that range from twenty to thirty-five feet to add character and definition.

Recently added modern updates—like stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and updated cabinets and fixtures—provide all of today’s conveniences to make you say you are glad to be home.

The community provides a walkable lifestyle with nearby restaurants, shopping, recreational opportunities, and parks within easy reach.

Residents can also enjoy an abundance of amenities right on the property, including a pool, courtyard, dog park, fitness center, business center and lounge, laundry facilities, controlled access, smart locks, and package lockers.

Canton Mill Lofts offers 351 units, each one unique. Those interested in finding a home there can choose from one bedroom, one bath lofts and flats; two bedroom, two bath lofts; two bedroom, one bath flats; and two bedroom, two bath flats. All floor plans are distinctively different in size and layout.

Resident Stephanie Johnson loves the two bedroom, two bath flat her family chose when they moved into Canton Mill Lofts in 2021.

Stephanie, her husband, their ten-year-old son, and their three dogs relocated from Louisiana and found an apartment to call home while they build a house on property in Canton.

“Our flat is lovely, over 1,400 square feet, quite a nice size. Our ceilings are thirty feet high, and I love the industrial feel. After growing up in New Orleans, I love this. They did quite well in keeping the industrial feel. I also love the concrete floors, and the kitchen is a nice size, and is a lovely workable space with a renovated, upgraded kitchen,” she explains.

Other positives include the helpful and supportive staff and the neighbors, including lots of children and a great family atmosphere.

1924 ESTABLISHED

Photo compliments of History Cherokee

A second cotton mill was built about a mile from the original mill on Railroad Street in 1923 and went into operation in 1924. The new Canton Cotton Mill No. 2 had modern machinery and offered better working conditions, including heat and improved ventilation. The mill stayed in operation until 1981, when Canton Textile Mills discontinued all operations. The mill has since been converted into Canton Mill Lofts.

Bus service was provided for workers who did not live in the mill village during World War II because of the fuel and rubber shortages.

But the history is what really drew her in when searching for a place to live.

“We love the design, the history, and that they kept a lot of the architectural details,” Stephanie points out.

The history is what makes the community truly exceptional.

“We have been photographed and filmed numerous times.

Some residents move to the community for their photography business, including social media influencers. The hallways are filled with old pictures of the mill workers and ancient machinery left in select areas of the building,” says Allison Seay, community manager with owners Venterra.

Canton Cotton Mill No. 2 was built in the early 1920s, as the denim-producing company continued to expand and grow from its original location. Canton Cotton Mills was chartered on December 2, 1899, by Robert Tyre Jones, a leading businessman and merchant in the community. The first mill, Canton Cotton Mill No. 1, was built near downtown Canton on Railroad Street at the time the company was chartered.

Elizabeth Payne operates a weaving machine in Mill No. 2 during the process of making blue denim.

In 1923 construction began on the No. 2 Mill in North Canton.

It was completed in 1924 and eventually contained 780 looms and 23,000 spindles. As many as six-hundred people worked at the No. 2 Mill on three shifts a day, with 1,200 employed company-wide.

Canton denim was sold in markets across America and had the reputation of the best available. Canton Cotton Mills was the largest employer in Canton and Cherokee County for decades, and Canton was a traditional mill town with several mill villages for workers to live and even a school built to serve those communities.

Before being purchased by Venterra two years ago the Canton Mill Lofts was a “tax credit” community under previous owners. Now, the property is a conventional rental community with no rental assistance units, management said. Rent starts at $1,519 for one-bedroom floor plans and $1,879 for two-bedroom apartments. Updated pricing changes daily and is available on the company’s website at LiveCantonMill.com. Canton Mill Lofts is located at 550 Riverstone Parkway in Canton.

n o t n a C f o t r Hea Whether you are a regular or a first-time diner, everyone is treated like family at Mamma Onesta’s in Canton.

Canton City Councilman Shawn Tolan, a restaurant regular, posted on Facebook inviting others to come to the downtown Italian eatery and find out for themselves why the restaurant is so popular. “Mario and Melanie have it going on. The food is amazing, atmosphere is perfect, and those two are awesome individuals. If you haven’t eaten there yet, do yourself a favor and give them a try. If you have eaten there, well, you know what I mean,” Shawn wrote of the restaurant.

Customers love the extensive menu, reminiscent of what you might find in an upscale New York trattoria. Diners love the romantic, oldworld atmosphere in the street-front location of the Babcock Building, where large windows provide a perfect view of the historic downtown. Couples in for an anniversary, friends and family celebrating birthdays, and diners just out looking

for a nice meal settle in comfortably around tables set with white tablecloths and linens.

Mamma Onesta means honest mother and is named for the hard-working matriarch of the DeGrassi family, which opened the first restaurant of that name in 2008 in Lockport, Illinois. Ten years later, the suburban Chicago restaurant made a move south and Frank DeGrassi, along with his best friends Mario Buonauro and Melanie Molloy, brought Mamma Onesta’s to the heart of downtown Canton.

The new Italian eatery quickly built a reputation for good food and caring staff. Now owned and operated by Mario and Melanie, the couple serves up traditional Italian cuisine with special touches that make customers come looking for more.

“Everything here is homemade and very traditional.

We can’t take you back in time, but we can give you the dining experience you might remember from other places and times,” Mario promises. “Each customer is treated like family.”

The popular signature dish, Chicken Onesta, is a perfect example of what the restaurant turns out to the delight of hungry guests. The dish features chicken cooked to perfection in garlic, white wine, and oil, and served on a bed of homemade pasta completed with spinach, roasted red peppers, and provolone cheese. The dish is also available with veal instead of chicken.

Chef Mark Trombetta cooks up delicious signature dishes such as Chicken Onesta to the delight of diners at Mamma Onesta’s.

Owners Mario Buonauro and Melanie Molloy and their attentive staff make sure diners at Mamma Onesta’s receive a warm welcome along with delicious homemade Italian food.

The Tortellini Ashley is another favorite with diners, which offers cheese tortellini with chicken, spinach, and Parmesan cheese in a delightful alfredo and pesto sauce. For those looking for a traditional dish with a twist, Eggplant Rollatini is a tasty combination of breaded eggplant stuffed with ricotta cheese and baked in a tomato sauce with mozzarella cheese.

The extensive menu also includes many Dal Mare entrees, which translates to “from the sea.” Snapper is the signature fish used in tasty renditions such as Snapper Francese, where the fish is dipped in egg wash and sauteed in lemon butter and capers, or Snapper Casino, baked with garlic, bread crumbs, and pancetta. Traditional seafood dishes like Shrimp Scampi and Spaghetti with Clams are also on the menu.

Antipasti such as Fried Calamari, Sausage and Peppers, and Mozzarella Caprese are crowdpleasers. Even Escargot is offered. Mario and Chef Mark Trombetta use their skills each day to present a Soup of the Day, with tasty choices such as Potato Pancetta, Broccoli Cheese, and Mamma Onesta’s own take on Minestrone served up to happy diners. Chef Mark hails from a Sicilian background and uses his considerable talents to enliven the menu.

Make sure to save room for dessert, especially Mario’s Bread Pudding, an enormously popular option that changes flavors each week. Mario says that some of the renditions include Caramel, Butterfinger, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and seasonal choices such as Cadbury Bunny for Easter.

Wednesday Wine Down and Sangria Sunday are great times to visit and enjoy the delectable white and red Sangria made to order using a special inhouse recipe or a selection from the extensive wine list. The historic building also offers a beautiful marble enhanced bar with all your favorite alcoholic drinks.

The Babcock Building was once the home to Rosenblum’s Store, one of Canton’s favorite shopping spots in the mid-1900s up to the 1980s. After Harry Babcock purchased and renovated the historic downtown building in the 1990s, a number of restaurants and eateries occupied the space, including a soda fountain and ice cream shop, a hot dog eatery, and The Study, a fine dining establishment.

These days, though, it is hard to imagine anything else ever occupying the space, as Mamma Onesta’s has become a fixture to the community.

“We are so grateful to the city of Canton, and to all our faithful customers, and our new ones,” Mario beams. “This is a great place, and we are so glad to be a part of it.”

The extensive menu filled with favorite antipasti such as Fried Calamari, desserts like Tiramisu, and a wide selection of pasta dishes offers something to please every palate.

Mamma Onesta's Italian Restaurant is located at 250 East Main Street, Canton. Their phone number is (678) 880-7770.

Award-Winning Tequila Making a Home in Canton

Go in almost any restaurant in Canton these days, and you will find CaliFino Tequila on the menu.

The popular craft tequila has made a local name for itself since the California-based company located its Southeast operation to The Mill on Etowah just a couple of years ago.

Now the company is teaming up with Eagle Rock Distribution Company to bring the tasty tequila to all of Georgia. Whether its tequila to mix a mean margarita, or a slow-sipping, award-winning, palette-pleasing after dinner drink, CaliFino Tequila has a product to fit the bill.

“CaliFino has made Canton a home in the Southeast,” says Jose Luna. His father’s tequila recipe was the inspiration for the high-end tequilas made today by CaliFino. “It’s a good fit for both companies and everyone is excited. I will work with Eagle Rock Distribution closely and continue to get more involved in Canton, to create jobs,

and bring events to community.” The company first established their presence in Canton in 2020.

CaliFino makes four premium tequilas, all from blue agave distilled and aged in Mexico, where the liquor is made. Each one of the four expressions starts with the family recipe and then is defined by its aging process, which leads to individualized qualities.

Blanco is young and is not aged in barrels. It is defined by a vibrant, bright color, crisp scent, and refreshing finish. CaliFino Reposado, aged one year in an American oak barrel, has a golden, light amber color, with a warm, buttery, spice taste and creamy, honey finish.

CaliFino Añejo, aged three years in a white oak barrel, sips more like a whiskey, Jose says, and is a warm, full-bodied tequila that has won many awards. Extra Añejo is aged seven years in the white oak barrel, and then one year in a French oak cognac barrel to give it a deep, rich, dark wood color, a sweet caramel scent with layers of oak, caramel, and a warm, full-body finish.

A pairing of Louisiana oysters and crafted CaliFino Tequila at the Salty Mule in Canton is perfect for starting your evening.

Enjoy the beautiful view from J. Michael’s Prime’s back balcony while savoring a craft cocktail made with CaliFino Tequila.

One of the ways CaliFino separates itself from other tequilas is that the company lets the agave plants used to make the tequila grow for seven years before harvesting, allowing the plants to produce enough sugar that no added sweetener is needed in the process, Jose points out with pride.

“With us it is natural, comes from the plant, and the flavors come from the barrel. You can consider our tequila a small batch, we take the right amount of time and follow the right process.

We do not take shortcuts,” Jose expounds.

“The Mill on Etowah is where the story began and where the story will continue. It is my responsibility to continue to grow our company. There’s a special connection with Canton and we will continue making good memories here,” Jose promises.

r e n n a Pat T

Pat Tanner has seen a lot of changes in her hometown of Canton. Pat was the first African American to be elected to the Canton City Council, where she served two terms from 2004 to 2012, and the first Black woman to serve as an elected official in Cherokee County in its 190-year history.

In

her eight years on the council, she brought a diverse voice to the table to represent people of color. She helped the city move forward with support for more parks, plans for a major retail and commercial development, and a reservoir lake.

Pat decided to run for office after unsuccessfully lobbying the Canton City Council on an issue in the Stumptown community of Canton, where she grew up.

The historic community already included two

churches, but a third one was being proposed on the site of a former funeral home. Pat and her neighbors were concerned the increased traffic it could bring would be detrimental to the historic area. Pat presented the concerns to the council, which decided to make the decision at its next meeting.

“When I graduated, the school was still segregated. A lot of things were going on worldwide as far as people’s rights were concerned,” she remembers. “And here in Canton we had some of the same issues, such as having to go in the back doors of restaurants and doctors’ offices. I lived it and lived through it.”

“But at the second meeting, I heard one of the council members tell the individual who was requesting the rezoning that it was a ‘done deal.’ I said to myself at the next election, I would run for city council. I had never wanted to be a politician, but that caused my interest in running. I have always felt that government and other entities should at least reflect the people they serve,” she recalls.

During her college years in the mid1960s, she joined the battle for equal rights and, in 1965, traveled to Selma, Alabama, to help in the voting rights campaign to end the denial of Black voting rights in parts of the South.

At the time, Pat did not think about the significance of her decision. “I was not thinking about it being a historical move; that had not even crossed my mind. I just wanted to be on the council because I felt people should have someone to represent them,” she explains. “I ran as a people’s candidate, and I was sure that the African American community and people of color would welcome someone like me to be on the council to have in the ring.

I felt the council needed a different perspective and a different voice.”

Pat spent her childhood days in the heavily segregated community of Stumptown under the Jim Crow laws and graduated from the all-Black Ralph Bunche High School in Canton in 1964.

Tanner was not there on March 7, 1965, known as Bloody Sunday, but two days later marched with Dr. Martin Luther King in a second attempt to get from Selma to Montgomery. She was among 2,000 protestors led by Dr. King on March 9 across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Highway 80 was blocked by state troopers, but Dr. King paused the marchers and led them in prayer.

Eventually, the troopers stepped aside and let the protestors continue peacefully.

Pat is proud of her time on the Canton City Council and all she helped accomplish, including the approval for Canton Marketplace and the Canton YMCA. While Pat was on the council, the Etowah River Park plan was created, and Heritage Park became a reality.

One of the most significant achievements was the creation of the Hickory Log Creek Reservoir. “The city had been working to get it for ten years, but I was a yes vote when it came before us. I voted in favor of doing it because it is a great amenity.”

While a lot was accomplished during her time on the city council, there were things she was unable to do. “I was unable to get sidewalks in the Stumptown Community. But the current council is working on some of those issues, and hopeful they can achieve what I was not able.” Pat also hopes to see a major entrance into the Stumptown Community, as it is the oldest community in the city.

Ice Cream Shop Serves Up Joy Talia Mrozinski

loves concocting delectable ice cream, a favorite pursuit since she was a child. The owner of Sweet Joy Ice Cream Bar in Canton explains it is in her blood. She spent summers with her grandmother in rural Mississippi where her grandmother, a teacher, would spend the school break making homemade ice cream and treats to sell to the locals. The creamy confections were a huge hit with the neighbors and helped to stave off the burning Mississippi sun. Talia has taken that childhood tradition and brought it here to Cherokee County.

The shop’s name does more than evoke the emotions that wash over you when you walk in its door. It’s also a tribute to Talia’s mother, Joyce. Talia shares, “We called her Joy, and she was the sweetest thing I ever knew. It just kind of made sense to name this place for her as well as the vibe that I wanted to bring into the community. She was a very loving person, very much of faith and giving.”

Sweet Joy Ice Cream Bar, located in The Mill on Etowah, is a cheerful oasis. The charming mural on the wall invites photo opportunities. A colorful chalk board menu boasts a mindboggling array of ice cream and more indulgent desserts like ice cream sandwiches and sundaes. The cream-and-sugar smell that infuses the shop begs you to linger.

Each item on the menu is handmade and lovingly crafted. Made on site in small batches, the ice cream menu offers classic flavors, like Vanilla and Chocolate, but Talia also brings in farm-fresh, local ingredients to create inventive seasonal flavors. This spring, Talia will feature Spicy Mango and Blueberry Thyme.

Customer favorites include Oreo, Lemon Cookie, and Fruity Pebbles. She also offers dairy-free and sugar-free options for those with dietary restrictions. The shop’s signature flavor, Strawberry, explodes with tart berry in every bite.

In a genius collaboration, Talia partnered with Giggle Monsters Craft Donuts and gave guests strawberry ice cream topped with strawberry cake donuts. Talia will also make desserts on demand.

A customer recently asked for “Goth” ice cream, so Talia obliged with a platinum confection straight out of Willy Wonka. She’s made Banana Pudding and Blue Hawaiian flavors specifically for special customers.

Talia ensures that every bite of her ice cream will have “the good stuff,” whether it’s Oreos, chunks of cookie dough, or fresh fruit.

“You don’t have to dig for the goodies in our ice cream,” Talia points out. The shop offers cones, cups, and pints with a variety

of toppings. Sweet Joy has ice cream sandwiches, milkshakes, and even a flight sampler.

For those who prefer more adult treats, Talia has a delicious variety which changes seasonally. She has made beer-flavored ice cream with the beer provided by neighboring Reformation Brewery.

She has created Strawberry Mango Margarita laden with top shelf tequila by CaliFino. Other adult choices on the menu might include cocoa with a shot of your choice and topped with ice cream; and strawberry shortcake sundaes with fresh whipped cream and vanilla vodka-soaked berries. During the Christmas season, you can get Eggnog Ice Cream with a punch of alcohol.

Sweet Joy Ice Cream Bar represents everything that’s great about living in and visiting Canton. It retains the small-town feel of the ice cream parlors that we remember from childhood but has just enough élan to please more cosmopolitan visitors. It also enhances the marvelous diversity of Canton. Talia and her staff are warm and welcoming. “This shop is built on family and love, and people can taste that in our ice cream. I love meeting people, and I love making ice cream, so this shop is a labor of love.”

Talia remarks, “The people of Canton have been absolutely amazing. I have already met so many people that I will have lifetime relationships with. It’s hard to express how much the community support means to me.”

Ice cream is about making memories, like celebrating that victory on the baseball diamond. Ice cream is a soothing balm during rocky times. Ice cream is about community and summer vacations and childhood friendships. Most of all, ice cream is about simple pleasures, and Talia offers that to all who visit. As she says, “Ice cream just brings joy to so many people, and that is my favorite part about running this business–getting to know people in the community and talking with them. This is all about community and family to me.”

If delicious gourmet ice cream wasn’t enough of an incentive to bring you in, Sweet Joy offers a 10 percent discount to visitors on Tuesdays. They also offer 10 percent discounts every day to all first responders, nurses, and teachers. The shop offers dine-in, take out, and order ahead options.

Sweet Joy Ice Cream Bar is located at 225 Reformation Parkway, Suite 104E, Canton.

Wendy Balog and Christie Lynne want their boutique to empower and inspire every woman who visits Whole Soul Shop at the Mill on Etowah.

The charmingly bohemian Whole Soul Shop is a fun experience with artwork, lovely fashion finds, and plenty of soulful accessories all on display in a beautiful historic space. Step into the inviting and artsy boutique and instantly feel the vibe that helps customers leave feeling happy and optimistic.

hat happens when two lifelong friends, firm believers in the whimsical workings of fate and the power of positive thinking, start musing about their dream jobs while lounging in a pool?

The result is Whole Soul Shop – one part charming, bohemian boutique, one part spiritual center, and one part art gallery.

When you walk in the door the effect is a softer, sweeter version of the heyday of Haight-Ashbury. It’s an airy, welcoming retail refuge suffused with the subtle, herbaceous scents of artisan candles and soaps. The overall vibe is a little gypsy with a splash of wild-child rocker and old-school Nashville.

Whole Soul Shop, located in The Mill on Etowah, is the culmination of the efforts of Wendy Balog and Christie Lynne. The shop is the epitome of the “Shop Small” movement, because these ladies haven’t just opened up a retail store­—their idea is to uplift and empower every woman who has the luck to walk through their doors.

The two friends discuss how the store came about and the machinations of destiny that seem to make their journey inevitable.

Both women had successful careers before opening the shop. Their children were grown, and they both had the financial means to explore new ventures. The store gave them both a chance to express themselves and to create a space that was beyond retail.

This is more than a business for them. Whole Soul is a safe space where women of all shapes and sizes can express themselves with the unique statement pieces that the owners have hand-picked.

“The store evolved as a way to bring people in and make that connection. It is a hub to allow God to point us in the right direction,” Wendy explains. Christie chimes in, “It definitely evolved into that; she loves life coaching and I’m really into energy work and holistic health.”

For visitors it means that their life experiences have translated into a retail space that is a feast for the senses and the psyche.

The two agree that they didn’t want to do too much planning, because they want to leave themselves open for new opportunities to expand the concept. They talk about holding classes in empowerment, spiritualism, and even inspirational dance. They discuss the moments

in which fate seemed to directly intervene and let them know that this store was the right path for them. They talk about a seamstress who came in just when they had talked about needing someone to do custom work for them. A client came in late that afternoon who was a dance teacher, and they had mentioned wanting to hold dance classes on the lawn.

The shop has a unique identity that reflects the light-hearted spirit of the owners. In a fun twist, each customer who comes in gets a free gift at the end of their experience. The owners have a large basket of message stones. They let their clients pick one at random and ask them to share the directive aloud.

Everyone leaves with these tiny words of wisdom in their pocket.

In the age of Amazon and the dissociation that the pandemic wrought, Whole Soul Shop fills our very human need for connection.

These women want their clients to have an experience here. They want the people who come in to feel inspired. They want their customers to feel like they are shopping with their best friends—a goal they have achieved.

The friends have built their business with heart because their goal isn’t just selling clothes. Wendy and Christie know their “why,” and it’s about making women feel special. As they describe it, “We want it to feel like walking into your best friend’s closet.

We want to connect with people, we want to make a difference.”

Whole Soul is more than just a boutique. It is a community, selling the colorful personalities of the owners—and Canton is all the better for it.

Whole Soul Shop is located at 225 Reformation Parkway, Suite 104, Canton.

Dwayne Waterman is the newest member of the Canton City Council after being elected in November 2021 and taking office in January.

The Ward 3 representative lives in the River Green community with his wife, Michele, and two children.

“I ran for council because I wanted to serve my neighbors and the city in a capacity that would help have a positive impact on its future. My wife and I chose to raise our children here in Canton.

We want it to continue to be successful through economic and social growth,” he explains of his reason to run.

The 43-year-old was born in New York and grew up in Alpharetta, where he graduated from Milton High School.

He then received his Bachelor of Science degree in industrial engineering from Southern Polytechnic State University in Kennesaw and has a master’s degree in business administration.

Dwayne says his background in business, engineering, and process improvement over twenty-eight years brings a unique perspective to the council. He has held leadership roles in manufacturing, industrial engineering, and energy commodities and is a Certified Energy Procurement Professional (CEP). Currently, Dwayne is a corporate energy manager at Precision Castparts Corporation.

He is also a certified Six Sigma Black Belt and enjoys playing guitar, golf, tennis, and “yelling at referees at my daughters’ basketball games.”

The councilor first got involved in the city in 2019 when he participated in the Canton Citizen’s Police Academy, which inspired him to become more involved with the community. In 2020, Dwayne was appointed to the Canton Public Safety Citizens Advisory Board and was later named co-chair.

The Canton Police Department’s interaction with the community is one of the things Dwayne likes about the city. “It is really eye-opening when you see everything they do and endure to keep us safe. I encourage everyone to sign up for the Citizen’s Police Academy if they have time,” Dwayne suggests.

A Cone to Pick 175 West Main Street, Canton What pairs perfectly with our Original Nehi Peach Soda? Our peach ice cream of course! This delicious duo makes the perfect float. Come and grab one to sip in the shop or get one to go.

He also loves Canton because there is something for everyone here, including events such as First Friday, concerts at the theatre, and other happenings in the downtown area.

“Our city staff is truly engaged, and I think they have done a really great job under our city manager,” he points out.
