Misc Info FYI:
This is one of at least half a dozen+ blogs that I have about Kennesaw and all of them are pretty much out of service as I have been gone from K for just over 3 yrs, after 15 years living there.
So with the passage of time I have posted less and less. The site 'may' now and then have another post but it is pretty much off my radar scope these days. So take a look, you might find something of interest, I see that several folks come back repeatedly and are probably disappointed to find nothing new here. Thanks for looking in -

What is the history of 2655 N. Cobb Parkway, Kennesaw, Ga? Here is how it started out, as a motel, now it is a shopping center.
In 1978 C.N. Patel and his wife moved to Kennesaw from London. They purchased the motel from the Powell’s on January 30, 1979.
The Patel’s son, R.J. and his wife Asha took over the day to day operation of the motel in 1994. After 11 years of round the clock managing the business they closed the Windsor Motel on November 23, 2005.
The Patels demolished the motel and during a clean-up of the property they discovered one of the old motel signs they believe may be from the early 1960’s (see pictures with this post). A shopping center known as The Windsor, managed by the Patels, was opened in the same location in 2008.
