Brushy’s Face Lift
As a runner and a trail lover, I’m always thrilled beyond belief to find a trail to run on around here that doesn’t immediately enfeeble me – physically, mentally, and spiritually. The relatively new Brushy Face Trail off Highway 28 is just such a trail, and a loop at that! Built by volunteers with the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, the Brushy …

A relaxing meal is …
Mountain Life in a Glass
Barns, particularly historical ones, have unique personalities and lofty stories to tell. Whiteside Brewing Co., which opened earlier this year, established residence in Cashiers’ old Ezekiel Barn. The brewery is separated from its sister establishment, the Laurelwood Inn, by ample parking and an acre of green, all under the ownership of Bob and Lise Dews. The brewery, with its sparkling …

Just Like Pop Used to Make
If you’ve been in Highlands for more than a few years, you may well remember Nick’s Calico Cottage, later known as Nick’s Restaurant. It opened in 1975 and was truly a family affair.

David Adelsheim receives credit with not only building a successful winery, but also shaping the wine industry in Oregon. Personally, I believe other business leaders can learn from his efforts in having a transition …
Dining at The Orchard
I met this assignment with a bit of trepidation. Five years ago, I was asked to review The Orchard, that signature Cashiers place that’s known for well-prepared meals, paired with a selection from its exhaustive wine cellar or a perfectly blended drink. It’s all served up in a rambling 110-year-old cabin that’s filled to bursting with mountain charm, nestled in …

Reinterpreting Nature
Jill Wolfe, like all successful artists, is constantly reinventing herself. Since her last interview with The Laurel, she’s shifted from outdoor shows and a fairly realistic style to studio work, abstraction, and a boatload of color. She often employs an arbitrary palette of unexpected hues, flipping cool colors with warm, blue skies to orange. But what her former and current …
Art Supports Community
Robechhi’s words are echoed by Carolina Gallery’s Leslie Jeffery and Mary Lou Bilbro. Artists themselves, they were deeply sympathetic to peers who’d lost representation when the John Collette, Ann Jacobs, and Summit One Galleries closed. Why’d they close? The recession and a huge online art presence forced those galleries and many others across the nation to fold. That’s when the …
