Utsända Andersonville

[ the podcast ]

Launched by the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce in March 2018, Always Andersonville: The Podcast has served as a vehicle to tell more than 100 stories of local business owners and community members in a weekly episode airing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Podbean. Engineered by Andy Miles and recorded by Chamber staff currently on Zoom, the podcast reveals the personal triumphs, struggles and real life lessons of the local entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, chefs, designers, and spirited personalities who enrichen the Andersonville community. Andersonville’s Swedish roots date back to the late 1800’s, and the Swedish American Museum has been a cornerstone to the community for the last 45 years. A never ceasing beacon of heritage exploration that honors the immigrant experience, the Museum is a hub of virtual cooking classes, a knitting group, a book club and more led by an incredibly dedicated staff. Throughout the pandemic, the team has also been busily perfecting their Swedish Kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls), as well as other baked goods available for weekly pre-order and pick-up. The 2021-22 season promises expansion for the Museum with a new outdoor space and dedicated Swedish cafe.

Andersonville Uthåller

[ andersonville endures ]

The week of March 15, 2021 marked the oneyear anniversary of COVID shutdown for the businesses of Andersonville. The year was touch and go for so many, but our businesses all have one thing in common; their unyielding passion and gratitude for the community that has stepped up and showed up to keep these businesses alive. Andersonville Endures. This very Guide was halted in its tracks and delayed indefinitely during the citywide Stay at Home mandate March - May 2020. So, our photographer, the talented Jamie Kelter Davis, made several trips to Andersonville in April on her own time, capturing the vast quiet on the streets and the even quieter scenery of indoor spaces as seen through their windows to the outside world. Her photographs during this period capture Andersonville businesses quietly poised and holding their collective breath for a time in which patrons would once again be allowed to walk through their doors.
