]]>Whatever you want to call it, Atlanta is known for many things. Diverse musical heritage, 'the world's busiest passenger airport, and above all, its Southern hospitality! No matter what your take is in Atlanta, chances are there is something this city has to offer that you will enjoy. Whether you are just visiting for the weekend, or are a seasoned local living comfortably in your Atlanta apartments, the city will have something special just for you!
A Quick History Lesson
Before we get started, we have a fun little fact for you. Did you know that Atlanta is the fifth city in Georgia to be called the capital of the state? The original capital was Savannah. After it was captured by the British in 1778, the government was then moved to Augusta. Because it was deemed too far east, the capital was then moved to Louisville in 1796. If you are counting, so far that is 3 cities! In 1807, there were numerous reports that the city was experiencing a high number of malaria cases. Therefore, a new capital was constructed in Milledgeville. The government remained in Milledgeville until 1868 when Atlanta was declared the official capital of Georgia. Pretty interesting huh?
The Georgia Peach
Something we may all know is that the official fruit for the state of Georgia is the peach. Not surprisingly, an interesting fact is that if you are giving or receiving directions, you will hear the phrase “Go down peachtree.” This is because in Atalanta alone, there are over 70 roads with the word “Peachtree” in their name! Wowzers.
Another thing you may not have known is that Atlanta is known as the birthplace of the civil rights movement in America. This is because Atlanta played a critical role in this period of American history. Year after year, Atlanta attracts many to the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park.
Enjoy!
Sure Atlanta is a great city to come for a weekend of fun. However, if you look closer, it is a city with southern charm and a great deal of rich history.

]]>The post Spring Cleaning Tips and Tricks for Your Atlanta Apartments appeared first on Mirador at Peachtree Blog.
]]>Snow is melting, birds are chirping about, and flowers are blooming all around. This can only mean one thing – Springtime is here! Before getting too excited, we all know what that means. Spring cleaning! If the thought of spring cleaning sounds like an arduous endeavor, it is time to step back and think of the rewards. Doesn’t it feel nice to come home to a clean and spotless home? This can be your motivation to get started! If you are not the spring cleaning type, not to worry. We have great suggestions to help turn your Atlanta apartments into a refreshing safe haven!
It’s That Time Again
If you are still not motivated to pick up those rubber gloves and start scrubbing away the kitchen counter build-ups, what if we told you that you don’t have to? That’s right; this year we are working smarter not harder! If you want to make spring cleaning a breeze, this next tip is for you.
Tips and Tricks
One of our tips is to go room by room. When you try to do everything at once, you end up running all around your apartment, and at the end of the day, not much gets done. Attempting to do everything at once can be a setback. By tackling one room at a time, you will be able to stay focused. Maybe one afternoon you decide to tackle your living room, and after the living room, one of your bedrooms, then your kitchen and so forth. We suggest leaving the tougher rooms for last, like the kitchen and bathroom. In doing so, you will be able to get motivated enough during the other rooms, and tackle these head-on!
We suggest bringing a box into every room to place any items that do not belong in that room; this will help you stay on track and focused. This way, you are not tempted to run all over the place delivering items to their respective places.
Make Cleaning Simple!
This year, we are working smarter not harder. By going room by room, you will be able to stay focused and clean in a systematical way.

]]>The post Add A Soothing Fragrance to Your Atlanta Apartments appeared first on Mirador at Peachtree Blog.
]]>There are quite a bit of different flowers that you could go with, but the most easily attainable and sought-after ones are listed below. Perhaps you can find them at a nearby farmer’s market in Atlanta. Here they are:
1. Gardenia
2. Lavender
3. Scented Geraniums
4. Indoor Citrus
5. Orchids
The effect you’re trying to provoke is what should ultimately make you choose the flower/fragrance. If you want a more calming environment because you’re prone to anxiety, get some lavender. If you want something more stimulating, then go with a more citrus plant/flower. You’ll be amazed at the effects the smell of these flowers will have on you as they waft through the air.
Also, it’s kind of nice to indulge yourself to a pretty sight like flowers- I mean, when was the last time you bought flowers from yourself? Every time you walk past them you’re going to remember that purchasing them was an act of self-love and an attempt to make your life in your Atlanta apartments better. What’s better than that?
So do your research as the seasons transition and hit up your local farmer’s market to stock up on some flowers. Who knows, maybe this mini-investment will be the start of a whole new lifestyle attracting love and positivity for you. Make the most out of what Atlanta has to offer!

]]>The post Go Green in Your Atlanta Apartments appeared first on Mirador at Peachtree Blog.
]]>Here are some other ways to go green:
1. Avoid buying plastic/Styrofoam cups and utensils to use as dishes and use real dishes instead. After all, the smaller the pile of trash you create is, the smaller footprint you leave on earth and the less amount you contribute to piles of garbage that may eventually get dumped in the ocean.
2. Try growing your own seasoning or fruits and vegetables. Even in your Atlanta apartments, you’re allowed to bring in little pots that you can have in a section and monitor with the right amount of light and water in order to grow healthy things for yourself. This will emit good CO2 in your department, save you money on groceries and bags/trash/gas associated with groceries, and could encourage fellow visitors in your apartments to do the same.
3. As mentioned briefly above, be conscientious of how you use and abuse your utilities. Use natural light whenever possible and make sure that lights and fans are turned off if you aren’t in a room. Although it could be tempting to put the AC on at an extreme setting to keep the house cool, try opening windows and using other alternatives to block the sun out of where you live to keep your house cool.

- Check out your local farmer’s market. It’s a nice way to get outdoors and mingle with your community while also doing something productive- shopping for fresh produce for your house.
