Where Are the Fast, Easy, Reasonably Priced Restaurants With Wi-Fi?

that serve dinner? We're looking for a place where we can have a light, fast meal after working out at the gym, and it's suprisingly hard to do. We want a place where you can go in, quickly order a meal and get served fast and visit a few websites and play Words With Friends via wifi while we eat. And hopefully something other than fried burgers and fried potatoes. (Nothing wrong with burger & fries but they are NOT health foods.)

So far what we got is Shane's Rib Shack up in Alpharetta and Barberito's and Your Pie in Roswell, all of which fill the bill nicely. The big problem is that fast, nice, fun places that have wifi generally serve lunch only. (There's also Moe's in Roswell, very near Your Pie, but it's Tex-Mex like Barberito''s and we like Barberito's better.)

Anyone got a recommendation on some similar restaurants not too far from the Roswell Historic District area? (Restaurants IN the Roswell Historic District tend to be expensive, not have wifi, and hard to get into ... but we would love to hear of an exception).

Roswell Is Paved In Gold

Study in green, black and yellow with white stripe No. 1
Every spring Roswell is filled with a golden haze. Unfortunately, it is not actual gold, or anything like it. It's the sort of thing you'd really rather NOT be covered in, but no one has any choice about that in Roswell for a few weeks in spring. Find out all about it here.

The Best Little Business Name in Alpharetta

Best sign in Alpharetta!
While doing Santa's work in Alpharetta, Georgia, a town just to the north of Roswell (so close that you could pass in and out of both cities several times on a less-than-one-mile stretch of some roads at one time) I came across this sign outside a hair salon. Could not resist taking a photo. It's great when a business shows a sense of fun about itself!

Dragoncon 2010 Brings the Fun To Roswell: Also, Atlanta!

Mister Freeze gives visitors to DragonCon 2010 a chilly reception.
Fortunately, most con members were much warmer!

Our coverage of Dragoncon 2010 finally makes it to the Web, just in time for ... Halloween ... but still, quality writing like this does not grow on trees! Read all about it in our picture-laden article on the Planet Roswell website, then follow the link back here and comment on it. Flowery praise of all kinds accepted!

Ghost Face Appears in Roswell Georgia Bushes

In the lower right of this photo a ghostly face looms out of the bushes in a
photo of  Roswell, Georgia, vegetation.

Who is the ghostly faces peering out of these bushes? How did it get there? Is Roswell really as haunted as it seems?

The Persistence of Vegetation

The site of Roswell Municipal Airport after the Lawn Service Strike of 2004.
Roswell, New Mexico, may be a waterless, virtually uninhabitable desert town (cue sagebrush blowing down empty street) but Roswell Georgia enjoys plenty of water, sunlight, and all the lush vegetation you can stand ... in fact, the vegetation is a little TOO lush here. It takes the word "encroaching" seriously! Read our story about the perils of living in a place where you can't stand still without SOMETHING trying to grow on you.
