A.M. Recommendations – Betty’s Home Cooking is just that – food that your grandma made especially for you with lots of love.

Rent or bring a bike, or lace up your running/walking shoes or roller blades and take to the trails that run throughout Conyers and Rockdale County! Discover neighborhoods, historic sites and natural beauty along the PATH Foundation Olde Town Trail or the South River Trail and Arabia Mountain PATH Trail along the south side of the county.
P.M. Recommendations – If you’re seeking cooler temperatures and indoor activities, take in the latest blockbuster at AMC Theater or bowl a game at AMF American Lanes. If solitude and quiet
contemplation are what you seek, you simply must visit the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. The newly air-conditioned Abbey Church is a modern architectural masterpiece and the Monastic Heritage Center and Museum and shopping at the Abbey Store on the Monastery grounds are not to be missed. The Trappist monks who have called the Conyers Monastery home for nearly 80 years welcome visitors of all faiths and backgrounds.
Dinner is not to be missed at local favorites like Virgil’s Gullah Kitchen and Bar for a taste of the Lowcountry. Summer is for splurging and do we have some treats for you! Yogurt Mountain frozen yogurt bar and Brown Sugar Desserts cookies and cake-by-the-slice will make you think twice about a bikini body because they’re so good (and totally worth the calories!).
