It’s Back! The EPMSA Farmers’ Market!

The East Point Farmers Market is an initiative of the East Point Main Street Association and the City of East Point with the support of a large group of volunteers.

Our mission is to create  a unique experience in the Downtown District for all who shop here, where we will consciously offer fresh food options that are as healthy for the people who eat them as for the ground in which they are grown.

A moment for Boston

All of us at Your Guy for That and Intown Focus Realty wish to extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy to the families, friends, and loved ones of the recent Boston Marathon tragedy.

There is no words, no gesture, and no thing can take the biting sting from loss; and only the honestly offered hand in wanting to help can be shown to help ease this painful path.

We ask all who wish to help in some small way, look to donate through your local Red Cross Disaster Teams, as they struggle to assist those in Boston. The link below will take you to their national donation website.

Please take a moment of silence for those whose lives were lost, or changed during this horrific time.

The Boston Marathon tradition… Continue Reading A moment for Boston
