ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A fine art gallery is going to be celebrating its grand opening Nov. 15 – 17.The Sedgwick Gallery, a fine art gallery located in historic downtown Alpharetta, is opening at 61 Roswell Street.
Located in one of the city's oldest homes, built in 1856, the Skelton-Teasly House provides a backdrop to showcase exquisite works of art and adds to the cultural experience of downtown Alpharetta.
"We think it signifies the perfect time and place for fine art," said Ryan Sedgwick, gallery manager.
Sedgwick Gallery will highlight the works of 20th century Masters including Peter Max, whose pop art has inspired Americans for decades; early French modernist Marc Chagall, whose work can be found on the ceiling of the Paris Opera House; American expressionist painter LeRoy Neiman, renowned for his brilliantly colored paintings and inspired screen prints of musicians and athletes; and Salvador Dal', the world famous Spanish surrealist.
The gallery also includes distinctly American works by Thomas Kinkade; Tarkay, the Austrian-born Israeli painter and watercolorist; and fellow Israeli master printer Amram Ebgi.
The gallery features custom commissioned and framed oil paintings perfect for decorating any home as well as rotating features with established local artists.
"I have conducted hundreds of charitable art auctions nationally, and believe it is an opportune time to bring that kind of excitement to my hometown," said Scott Sedgwick, gallery owner.
From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 15 and Saturday, Nov. 16, as well as from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served. For more information, call 404-281-9998 or visit sedgwickgallery.com.

MOVE-UP BUYING GETS EASIER
Many
homeowners have been sitting idly, biding their time for the right moment to
buy a larger, more upgraded home. Until very recently, move-up buying seemed
impossible since home prices were declining and home sales were slow. The
market has transitioned where the values in North Atlanta are steadily
improving and homes are selling in less time. So, now move-up buyers are faced
with the possibility of a quick sale on their own home, but have nowhere to
land without using temporary housing. There are ways to buy first and sell your current home later. Strong buyers with good credit
and assets may qualify to buy their new home, using a first and second
mortgage. Later, in their preferred
timeframe, they would be able to sell the original home - ultimately using the
proceeds to eliminate that second mortgage. There are even lending options
called renovation loans for buying fixer-uppers without having to sacrifice a
lot cash. A new gourmet kitchen, luxury master bath or a needed addition are all
possible utilizing this product. Sounds complicated but, it is not with the
right Realtor® and lender team in place and it can make long-term financial
sense as well. Some of the higher price points are still a bit soft in certain
areas, offering buyers good values. And, as market values continue to
appreciate, the greater basis of a higher priced home, provides opportunities
for enhanced gains once that home sells years down the road. Of course, it is
not a guarantee but, worth consideration. The first step is to contact an
experienced, licensed Realtor® who can connect you with a qualified lending
professional. Working together, you can establish your home value, loan amount
qualification, target communities for purchase and expected prices. Next, the
fun part begins…finding your dream home!

JUMP START YOUR HOME SALE
A little known fact: the first three
weeks are the most critical when selling your home. Why is that? Because new
listings initially generate a lot of excitement among agents and buyers. There
are many buyers out there waiting for the right home to magically appear on the
market. And, agents are checking the multiple listing service “hot sheets” (new
listings) every day. With all this attention, you had better be ready! There’s
a saying in our business, “real estate is a beauty contest”. I’d like to add to
that, “and, beauty is only skin deep”. Yes, your home should be clean,
clutter-free and hopefully, updated but, beneath the surface are some of the
most important features of a home; mechanical/HVAC systems, roof, structural
integrity, siding and trim condition, hot water heaters, windows etc. This is
the non-sexy stuff that, if left to chance, can kill a deal. Many of the homes
in North Fulton are advancing to 20+ years in age and require maintenance and
systems replacements. Some sellers mistake replacing an 18 year old HVAC unit
or replacing/painting wood rot for an “upgrade”. These are not upgrades. They
are simply maintenance (and, the joys of home ownership!). Buyers do not want to
fix your problems that should have been addressed long ago. Here’s where a
full-service Realtor can really earn his/her commission on the front-end of a
sale by finding an inspector who can help you identify issues before you get
all those agents and buyers excited about your home! And,
that agent will have reliable contractors to do the repairs. This is the
“putting the horse before the cart” approach to selling and the thing that may
keep the buyer “in-love” with your home all the way to the closing table.61st Annual Old Soldiers Day Parade August 3, 2013 Alpharetta, GA

The parade will continue to the American Legion Post 201 so come and enjoy the post parade festivities!
HISTORY OF THE PARADE
The Old Soldiers Day Parade began years ago as a tribute to veterans of the war between the states, but was discontinued after a few years.Twenty–eight years later, in 1952, a small group of men in Alpharetta re-dedicated Old Soldiers Day Parade in Alpharetta and started having a parade through downtown Alpharetta. Thanks to these few men and their belief in keeping this memorable tradition alive, this parade has become an annual celebration to all veterans of all wars.; this year marking 59 years.
Along with the program and parade, this celebration will also feature floats, bands, entertainment, children’s activities, and prizes. Free hot dogs and soft drinks will be available at the American Legion at 201 Wills Road. With so much to celebrate, take this day to recognize the living memory of all veterans of war.
THE PARADE IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT!

Initially a tribute to the monumental “Abbey Road” album, the band has expanded its scope to include more than 100 Beatles tunes, from all eras of the Fab Four’s career. At a typical Abbey Road LIVE! show, audiences young and old can found gleefully singing along with every word, many in utter disbelief at getting to hear this monumental music performed live; something that even the Beatles themselves never did, since they stopped touring in 1966.
