My Room Rocks is every little girl's dream store. I think it may even be every big girl's dream. I loved it as much as my 9-year-old daughter did. It is such a fun shop and if you are female, you have to check it out. The front of the shop is a girl's boutique. Shoppers will find room decorations, clothes, handbags, books, toys, sleepover stuff, sports items and so much more. Accessories in every style and color are available.

The upscale maternity and children's consignment shop has settled into its new community in Alpharetta.
Emily's Closet is a maternity and children's consignment boutique that offers upscale clothing shoes and accessories to Alpharetta. The store moved from Johns Creek to its current location on McGinnis Ferry just this past April. Trudy Morse is the owner of Emily's Closet. She moved to Georgia about 10 years ago when her husband got a job transfer that took them from Illinois. The couple settled in Cumming. The opportunity to buy this shop just sort of fell into her lap and she jumped on it, taking a break from retirement to make it a reality. Morse enjoys her boutique and it shows. She talks about how she appreciates and enjoys her customers so much. Many of them are regulars who come in just about weekly to see what is new in the store. …

The Roswell couple's downtown Alpharetta shop is one of two salons they operate.
Matthew and Mechelle Khodayari of Roswell envisioned creating a value driven business in the late 90s, and brought their vision to life by opening the first Aria Salon Spa Shoppe, named after their daughter, in November 2000. Last week the shop in Alpharetta Town Commons at the corner of Milton Avenue and Roswell Street celebrated its 11th anniversary along with a grand reopening. Mayor-elect David Belle Isle and new Council member Donald Mitchell–both downtown Alpharetta business owners–helped the couple celebrate with friends, employees, Downtown Alpharetta Trade Association members and customers.

Armed with a soulful voice and an acoustic guitar, 15-year-old Lexie Babin is making a name for herself in the music world.
The eighties band Blondie rocked the night away last Friday at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in a concert titled "Blondie for Boobies" that was promoted by radio station B98.5 in support of breast cancer awareness. Before the crowd enjoyed familiar classics like "You've Got To Fight For Your Right To Party," a 15-year-old Milton High School student, Lexie Babin, reminded everyone what the night was about with her song "Remember". Lexie's dad works with Atlanta radio and when a colleague heard Lexie's song, they tought it'd be a great addition to the benefit concert because of its heartfelt message. As a tribute to those who have been affected by breast cancer "Remember" begins with "Wipe away those tears, I know you're in pain" and …

We're excited to inaugurate a new series for our Patch Readers: "Dispatches: The Changing American Dream." Every day, the national media is full of stories about how American families, businesses, and neighbors are adjusting to these trying times. There are so many changes happening so fast that it's dizzying: national debates about unemployment, foreclosures, debt, religion, government and private enterprise all touch on fundamental ways in which we see ourselves and our communities. At Patch, we want to explore that conversation on a daily basis so we can better understand how our neighbors are adjusting to the challenges and opportunities that surround us. We don't think there's one American Dream, but a multitude of American Dreams …
