Clotheshorse Mens Apparel
We spent 30+ years in the fast-paced world of D1 college football life. John was the defensive coordinator at great programs including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Memphis, and East Carolina.
While John was coaching at the University of Arkansas, we became very close friends with our next door neighbors, John and Karen Cole, who own Walker Brothers, which is to this day a thriving men's apparel store in Arkansas. We loved seeing how they combined great merchandise with building a community of friends. Charleen also discovered her eye and passion for quality merchandising.
After living across the Southeast, John hung up his collegiate football whistle and we started our next dream by opening Clothes Horse Men's Apparel in downtown Alpharetta. We're built off of the things that are most important to us: quality merchandise, excellent service, community, inclusivity, and family.
Our goal is to bring the highest quality, highest value goods to Alpharetta and the marketplace. Building long term relationships with our customers who turn into friends is one of our greatest privileges.

Minnie Olivia Wood Fire Pizzeria
Minnie Olivia is a neighborhood wood-fired Neo-Neapolitan Style pizzeria driven by local seasonal ingredients and products, where Southern Italy and The South meet! These experiences culminate into a worldly atmosphere, the perfect local dive.
For lunch and dinner, enjoy our wood-fired pizzas, salads, Italian sandwiches, handmade pasta, and an ever-evolving menu of Italian small plates and seasonally-inspired dishes.
The name Minnie Olivia Pizzeria was chosen to honor “Minnie Olivia Dodd,” daughter of James Madison Dodd and Sara Ann Dodd. This couple owned and operated the Dodd Hotel and surrounding flower and vegetable gardens, where Minnie Olivia Pizzeria is located, until the 1940s.
Our goal is to have a restaurant that represents the history of Alpharetta by serving this city with the best of fellowship and local fare.

We Are Gesher
A little information about us:
In 1998, some brave and enthusiastic families in the North Fulton Metro Atlanta area joined with a mission in mind; a mission to fill a void in this northern suburb community for a conservative synagogue, actually at the time, for any kind of synagogue. After several community meetings to confirm interest and to organize, the North Fulton Jewish Center Congregation Gesher L'Torah was born. Congregation Gesher L’Torah, meaning Bridge to Torah, was the perfect name. Not only were the roads in our area including the word bridge but also because we wanted to build a link with our Jewish religion, culture, and community. More affectionately, you will often hear us called GLT.
In 2008, we were going strong with over 100 families and started the project for the building we are currently in and call our home. In 2009 our building was complete and we were opening our doors to families in the area. Our preschool program is like no other around, we offer a half-day program filled with loving, passionate, qualified teachers to encourage your child's growth and love for learning. Rebecca Gordon, our Education Director, has a top-notch Religious Program. It is designed to have a unique hands-on curriculum that creates learning and a love for Judaism within the individual child. Our Judaics curriculum is divided into grade levels to meet the needs of each child. Each grade level has material that focuses on Jewish Values, Relationship with God, Torah, and Israel. Our Hebrew curriculum is divided by level and grade, allowing students to learn Hebrew and Prayer at their own pace.
We offer family programming, Women’s Learning, Sisterhood events, Men’s Club, holiday programming, religious services, yoga, events for middle and high school students, and let’s not forget the toddlers! We will be starting a toddler playgroup in the fall as well.
