Five Questions With… Albie Effron
They said it was impossible. They said I was crazy. They don’t know Albie.
Interviewer and Interviewee, after their grueling interviewGrant Park, hands down. We’ve got a really tight knit community. Not only is the park a big doggie playground, but we’ve even got a dedicated area where us dogs can, well, be dogs. And one of the new parks being developed around the BeltLine- Boulevard Crossing- is going to feature a fenced dog run! I’m really psyched about that- it’ll not only give us another option for play, but I’ll also get to meet dogs from Ormewood Park and Boulevard Heights.
Q. Hidden Atlanta gem?
I love the scene at ParkGrounds in Reynoldstown. It’s a coffee shop with a dog park, which is a pretty brilliant idea if you ask me. So along with the free wifi, lending library, great events, and super coffee, they’ve also got an area for me to run game on some of the finest Bichons and Laberdoodles in town. My folks love going there because they can kick back and read the Sunday Times while I frolic within the safety of the gated park. ParkGrounds, FTW!
Q. Favorite Atlanta dog shops?
I’m a big fan of Highland Pet Supply. Not only do my folks get a ton of great stuff there, but I also had the pleasure of going to their training center for a five week training program. It was a ton of fun- I actually learned how to sit, stay and come on command. Pretty heady stuff, if you ask me.
I’m also a fan of Inman Park Petworks. Good stuff, good people.
When the ‘rents go out of town- if my grandparents aren’t around- I hang out at the Atlanta Dog Spa. It’s a great place- they’ve always got Disney movies on, the groomers are first rate, and there’s a big Club Med vibe going on, which is important for a young, single dog like me.
