Readers Crown Royal Pet Resort

The Hiram business was chosen by readers as their favorite place to leave their pet when they go on vacation.

Perhaps pet owners across Paulding prefer to have their pets stay with friends or relatives when they head out on vacation. Few readers took advantage of this week’s Readers’ Choice poll, which asked for the preferred place to drop off furry family members when leaving town. Of those who did vote in the poll, an equal number favored two establishments—New Georgia Animal Hospital and Royal Pet Resort. But the latter earned more positive reviews this week, which means that Royal Pet Resort is our latest Readers’ Choice winner. And just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you can’t praise your favorite pet-friendly place. As always, you can head to the Dallas-Hiram Patch directory and leave a review on these businesses or any other …

Yotropolis is Your Favorite Yogurt Destination

The Hiram business was this week’s Readers’ Choice winner.

Some may find it hard to choose a flavor at their favorite frozen yogurt place, but as far choosing their favorite destination goes, the choice must have been pretty easy for our readers this week. Yotropolis Frozen Yogurt & Smoothies was the hands-down favorite in this week’s Readers’ Choice feature. The fro-yo shop got an overwhelming 82 votes. Victoria Weinert with Yotropolis said Friday that the results show that the business has plenty of loyal customers. She says the store, which is family-owned, came about from their love of fro-yo shops and a desire to bring one to their home area. “We have found such a welcome here and strive to return the favor by giving back to the community as much as we can,” she says.

Readers Choose Tellus for Nearby Getaway

The Cartersville science museum is your pick for a family-friendly place to spend time on a staycation.

It appears that when you want to get away without really going away, you go to Cartersville. In this week’s regional Readers’ Choice survey of staycation destinations, three of the top four vote-getters are Cartersville sites: Tellus Science Museum, Pine Mountain Recreation Area and Booth Western Art Museum. And even though six of the 19 poll options are in Cartersville Patch, commenters complained about a couple of the Cartersville sites we left off the list. So it’s only fitting that this week’s Readers’ Choice for favorite staycation destination is in Cartersville: the Tellus museum. Sweetwater Creek State Park in Douglasville Patch actually received the most votes, getting 27 percent. But we give equal weight to reviews and ratings of …

Readers' Choice: Staycation Destinations

Support your local museum, park, historical site or other family location against others around the northwest Atlanta suburbs.

Memorial Day is only three weeks away, meaning summer vacation season is almost here. But with gas prices still above $3.50 a gallon and round-trip airfare for a family of four running more than $1,200 to get just about anywhere, a staycation is an enticing option. You avoid the expense and stress of travel. You don’t have to stop the mail or board the pets. But you still get the time away from work and with your family. The challenge is to avoid getting bored or spending hour after hour in front of the TV. That’s where staycation destinations come into play. You need entertaining options for the whole family, from parks to museums to historical sites. That’s what this week’s Readers’ Choice is all about. What’s your favorite place to go …

HI, Ezra: Same answer as Pettit Creek Farms. We didn't forget it, but we had to make some hard decisions about what to include and didn't want too many entries from any one Patch.   more ›
