Each week, we find out about lots of fun things going on around Hall County. And while we'd love to write a story about all of them, we simply can't put that many words in Get Out each week.

So, we've turned to the Web.

Ashley Bates' new blog, Beats & Eats, will give you updates on what's going on at local restaurants and night spots in the Northeast Georgia area.

If you have any information about something cool coming up, you can comment on the blog or e-mail Ashley at abates@gainesvilletimes.com.
