When Joe Rogers bought a house from Tom Forkner in Avondale Estates in 1949, neither knew where that relationship would take them. Joe and Tom wanted to create a restaurant focused on people, associates and customers alike, while serving quality food at a great value. On Labor Day 1955, their dream became a reality and an American icon was born with the opening of the first Waffle House in Avondale Estates. Come see the house that Joe bought, and visit the Waffle House Museum, site of the first of many Waffle House restaurants, during the Avondale Estates Christmas Tour of Homes on December 14th from 3-8 pm.
Visitors will tour other unique Avondale Estates homes decorated for the season. On the tour this year is one of the newer homes in Avondale that was renovated by new owners who added their touch by changing the original master suite to an office, the original garage to the new master suite and an unfinished area to a fabulous media room. The newest home on the tour is a “Carriage House” designed and decorated by Avondale designer, Audrey “Scooter” Newsome. Four other 2008 tour homes have been “bumped up and out.” The original owners would probably not recognize their 1940s and ‘50s brick and cinder-block houses.
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 on tour day. Advance tickets are available at Avondale Antiques, Avondale City Hall, REAL Salon, Finders Keepers Furniture and Seventeen Steps.
Purchase or pick up your tickets at the Avondale Estates Community Club, 59 Lakeshore Drive. Our Holiday Market will be buzzing there with a variety of artists will offering their original pieces for sale just in time for the holidays. Avondale’s own author, Mary Kay Andrews will be selling and signing her books! You don’t want to miss the chance to shop for fun and unique gifts. Market hours are noon—6 pm.
