Ahhh ... summertime,

and the living is muggy.

As July melts

into August, Fayette County residents will be heading to the pools, beaches

and any spot of shade to find some relief from another Georgia summer.

But coolness

can also be found in some of our dining establishments. With temperatures

and tempers rising, it's time for some cool treats to enjoy in some of

Fayette's dining establishments.

One of the

best treats in the county is the Marble Slab Creamery in The Avenue

Shopping Center in Peachtree City or at Fayette Pavilion.

The store has

the feel of many independent ice cream establishments found in other areas

of the country. It offers the best selection of homemade ice cream in

the county and it's also fun to watch the workers place the ice cream

on the slab and add individual toppings to make a unique treat.

Also in Peachtree

City is one of my "coolest" places for lunch. Pascal's

in Westpark Walk is doing a huge business based on a simple concept. Take

several fresh toppings, such as broccoli, pesto, garlic and chicken and

add your favorite pasta from four varieties.

Perhaps the

coolest location in the county is Martini's , near Pascal's in Westpark

Walk. Chow down on some wonderful munchies while enjoying cool jazz and

libations on a Friday night, and the temperature magically seems to drop.

But Peachtree

City has not cornered the market on cool.

Probably the

coolest location in the county for a meal is in the outside seating at

the City Cafe in Fayetteville.

Earlier this

summer, the nights were cooler and it's always a delight to sit outside

surrounded by fresh flowers and have a taste of Europe in the county.

Finally, the

last bit of cool can be found in Fayetteville and Peachtree City at any

Starbucks location.

One of the

most refreshing tastes of the season is a Frappacino, which is a wonderful

iced coffee beverage.

With an abundance

of choices, Fayette's foodies should have no trouble staying cool this

summer.
