Remember that time you were staying in a hotel in a new city and were like, “Oh hey–I’ll just ask the concierge!”  I remember, and that was very smart of you.

If that scenario took place in Atlanta, chances aren’t shabby that the concierge you spoke with is at the Wren’s Nest right now.

We like this.  We like it a lot.

Naturally, we’re not pleased for some flim-flammy reason like “we enjoy being part of the Atlanta community”.  Oh no.  Instead, it has everything to do with making a good impression on the people who count.  And in our world, that’s the Concierge Society of Atlanta.

We only got our brochures into metro Atlanta hotels this last year, and it’s key that concierges point them out to visitors looking for, say, this nation’s most exciting house museum (patent pending).

In order to up our visibility, we’ve even gone door to (hotel) door to say charming falsehoods like, “Do you have the Wren’s Nest brochure?!  My important and well-traveled chums told me I just had to see it! I hope it’s prominently displayed at your fine hotel!  Cheerio!”

Needless to say, we’re on our best behavior.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go stand guard in front of the historic bathroom and smile pleasantly.

   Hey - guess what? I saw Wren’s Nest brochures in the “Fun Things To Do In Atlanta” corner of Emory Hospital while taking Lain’s grandmother to a doctor’s appointment a few days ago. Gogie was very impressed!!! We’ll do that for fun next time . . .

   Surely at some point you’ve considered a different sign for the toilet in the historic bathroom that says, “Joel Chandler Harris sat here.” Go on and post one - I dare you! If your guests are already confused about whether or not the bathroom is open to the public, it’s sure to buy you at least a couple more minutes before you have to explain the policy in person.

   Hey, ‘manda, that’s my grandmother on my dad’s side. I was one of those children unable to say the word grandmother at age 2.
