Publisher's Note Well, the barber shop was crowded, when a little girl appeared, she said oh father dear, don’t let our barber shave your beard. It will fill our hearts with sadness; it will fill our home with gloom, for barber dear, we need his beard for sweeping out the rooms.

Growing up, my father was always singing a tune.

Sometimes with a guitar in hand and just as often acapella.

The lyrics above are a perfect example of the little excerpts from some old folk song that would be belted out to get a laugh. I can’t for the life of me figure out where they originated or if he made them up himself.

His memory doesn’t serve him well enough to remember these days, but he remembers the O W N E R & C E O Ian Griffin words and the tunes to so many songs and still loves to sing.

In fact, on an unexpected visit to see my ailing grandmother, he belted out a full-on version of Dixie while walking down the hall of her assisted living facility. I’m sure a few of the residents were wondering why a concert abruptly started in the hall, but nobody came out to complain.

We had just celebrated my last living grandmother's 100th birthday in July and got the news she was battling cancer over the Thanksgiving holiday. So, I packed up my mom and dad and made the trip to Wildwood, Florida to pay her a visit. We blazed our trip down I-75 quite literally, with a near gas station fire averted and a lot of stressful moments during other pit stops, but we made it to and from without any major mishaps.

The visit with the matriarch of my mom's side of the family was worth the stress. Her positive outlook despite her symptoms was simply inspirational. She can only see and hear if you are right next to her, but we talked about family, the sad state of Florida football and shared old stories, mostly about what a pain in the butt I could be when I was a kid.

She talked about her health but insisted to all of us that this was our Christmas visit and we should focus on that, so we did. It was emotional, but I wouldn’t change anything other than the brevity of the visit. Life is busy and rarely slows down unless something forces your foot to apply the brakes. But there is time for joy and happiness if you create it.

That hit me when my father belted out “Dixie” out of the ether. My cousin and I just shook our heads and laughed as he continued into the second stanza, but the smile on his face was pure joy, and I wasn’t going to interrupt that for anything.

On the way home, as my mother was napping, my father and I were singing along to Christmas music and reached over to turn it down so we could harmonize on his greatest hits list from my childhood. From Sloop John B, to Folsom Prison Blues and the Barber Shop was crowded to Stewball. We harmonized, talked and laughed about the soundtrack of our home growing up. It was only about 30 minutes of the trip home, but it fueled me the rest of the way home and beyond.

This trip wasn't planned, it wasn’t for a happy purpose, but sometimes those scenarios make for the most powerful memories. Whether your holiday season is stressful, relaxed or a mixture of the two, I hope you find a few of those moments with your loved ones in the coming weeks and days. Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays!

The Twelve Days of RomeGaMas Letters to the Emperor is a monthly humor column from the self-proclaimed Emperor of Rome, GA. Nero Romansky, the unqualified descendant of Julius Caesar, answers his letters from his less-than-loyal subjects. It's like setting a new world record for pogo-stick jumping distance and not being Time magazine's Person of the Year.*

Sleigh bells ring, Ring a ding ding.

Nero, can you sing? Somethin’ missin’.

It's a beautiful sight, snowless Broad Street at night.

Walkin' in a southern Winterland.

First Question.

MR. NERO, "I wuz realy realy guud this year. Is dere realy a Santa Claus?"

— Ezrabella Maciel | Kindergarten, Anna K. Davie Elementary DEAR EZRABELLA, Yes, Ezrabella, there is a Santa Claus. But his real name is Jim, and he moved from the North Pole to the interior of Cave Spring Cave to hide from Russian satellites. You were a good little girl this year. Santa will give you anything your heart desires for Christmas, as long as your Christmas wish is a gallon of crystal-clear spring water. BYOJ.** Me Vexat Pede, — Nero

NERO, "Can you help me with my holiday shopping list? I never know what to buy for all my relatives, and my husband doesn't start thinking about presents until 10:55 pm on Christmas Eve." — Mirquelidith NcMatilta | Santa's Favorite 1997, 2014, 2023 DEAR MIRQUELIDITH, Without knowing the age, gender, and interests of your family, it's challenging for even the Divine Ruler of the Enchanted Lands to give personalized recommendations. Never fear, Santa's least favorite elf knows the one universal gift that is perfect for infants to the elderly and athletes to the sedentary. It is the prime existential request of all human beings, and 43% of dolphins, on earth.

What is the mysterious holy grail of holiday gift-giving?

Emperor Nero Romansky, Second of His Name, wholeheartedly recommends FUN Lies Again: The Ambassador's Unauthorized Sequel That Nobody Asked For, by Mark Suroviec. M.Ed. Buy at least fifty books per relative to be safe.

Me Vexat Pede, — Nero

Mark Suroviec, M.Ed., is the Chief Ambassador of Fun at WorkPlay Solutions, the author of Forever Sisters, and the Vice President of the Children’s Museum of Rome. He hopes you pity laugh at his humor and satire stories, especially the ones that aren’t funny.

V3 MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2025 | READV3.COM

NERO, "Over the Twelve Days of Christmas, the amorous main character of the song received 364 total gifts, with an average gifting velocity of 30.33 presents per day. Have you considered the square footage required to accommodate hundreds of guests and unexpected livestock? Was bird feed included in bulk in the deliveries? Did the dancers and pipers receive a per diem to offset travel and meal expenses? Unless the lords-a-leaping were all licensed falconers, imagine the exorbitant cost of avian specialists to care for doves, swans, and geese. I could go on and on…[letter continues for six pages with an attached spreadsheet and Profit and Loss statement] — Dr. Percival Q. Euclid, Ph.D. | Tenured Professor of Analytical Business Maths at Georgia Highlands College DEAR DOCTOR TRIANGLE, No, Nero has not considered the economic impact of a temporary poultry farm and spontaneous agricultural entertainment venue. In truth, Nero does not spend much of the holiday season thinking in general.

Was all your superfluous data a convoluted request for the Emperor to modernize the aforementioned Christmas carol with a local Roman flourish?

Your supplication is granted. Skipping ahead to the final verse:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my loyal Romans send to thee • Twelve percent inflation, • Eleven Georgia football players shoplifting, • Ten Hot Shots kiddos a-tumbling, • Nine commissioners debating, • Eight unregistered ding-ding machines dinging.

• Seven hills a-hilling, • Six – o – Eight Events eventing, • FIVE WASHED CARS (at Big Dan's), • Four parking spots downtown, • Three Rivers Church, • Two hunting gloves, • And a Mega Beverage warehouse, where Fazoli's used to be.

Merry Christmas.

Riverside Retreat The perfect getaway is right at home when you live at 525 North River Road.

Resting on the Oostanaula River, this property lets your worries float away.

text LAUREN BACHMAN | photos KEITH BEAUCHAMP AND ELIJAH BALL

S

erenity is simply the first word that comes to mind at 525 North River Road. A short drive from Broad Street, nestled in North River Farm, this riverside retreat pairs the beauty of its natural landscape with quiet luxury.

The property sits in the heart of North River Farm, on the stunning Oostanaula River. It overlooks a secluded portion of Berry College land that offers a beautiful view of the river, forest, and mountains from every part of the house.

And with 9.78 acres, it allows the owner a personal retreat, within the comfort of the North River Farm neighborhood.

The property's interior and exterior renovations have shaped it into a perfect space for everyday life, entertainment, and everything in between.

14 | HARDY REALTY | HOME FEATURE

This French-country home and its accompanying in-law suite share 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The in-law suite also boasts a 6 car garage. The owner notes that the exterior is “built with the finest of materials, including cedar shakes and fieldstone walls.”

The house also has White Oak and Heart Pine wood floors, which have been newly stained.

Inside, the main house blends timeless aesthetics with modern amenities. Floor to ceiling French windows line the walls, allowing pictures of the landscape to adorn each of the rooms—the river and its surrounding landscape are visible through every part of the house, inside and out.

The main floor includes an open-concept kitchen and living room that leads onto the back porch. On either side of this room are a dining room and a sitting room, the latter

HARDY REALTY | HOME FEATURE | 15

of which extends into a hall that leads to the master suite. Each of these rooms, along with the master bath, has a vaulted ceiling that both elevates the space and adds a sense of opulence to any decor.

Attached to the main floor and the lower level are two covered porches, both of which encircle the house. These provide a more private nook within the house and offer a better view of the river and the surrounding scenery. Most of the porches include tongue and groove ceilings, and the upper level includes a reinforced railing for the extra safety of any children or smaller pets.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the home also offers practicality. The kitchen contains the best of modern appliances, along with granite countertops with ample space for cooking.

16 | HARDY REALTY | HOME FEATURE

New cabinetry has been added to the kitchen, and paired with its walk-in pantry, there is no shortage of storage. This notably extends to the rest of the house, as well.

Each of the six bedrooms comes with a walk-in closet—’his and hers’ closets in the case of the master suite. Should you happen to bump into certain walls, though, you might be surprised to find a variety of hidden storage spaces. These are located in various locations of the house, including the in-law suite.

A shift from the hustle-and-bustle of the main floor, the upper level consists of several smaller spaces that allow more privacy.

On the upper level of the house are an additional two bedrooms, both with ensuite bathroom and a small side room that can function as an office, a reading nook, or simply an extra storage space. This floor also has a space at the end of the hall that overlooks the living room of the main floor.

Moving to the lower level of the house, this floor is curated for entertaining—or just for a great night in.

The lower level takes on a mixture of vintage and rustic styles that lend it a unique vibrancy. Since they moved in, the owners have revamped this entire floor with custom

HARDY REALTY | HOME FEATURE | 17

woodwork. It has now become the ideal place to host or to unwind with the family.

Just to the left of the stairs is an in-home theater with two raised platforms. In addition to the previous renovations, a surround sound system, a sono bar, and a new TV have all been added to this room.

Across the hall is a study, which is designed with a more rustic look in mind with an exposed brick wall. And past both of these rooms is an open concept room for a bar and billiard room.

Lining the walls of this room are custom wainscoting constructed by James Culpepper.

It is created in an antique style that ties together the vintage aesthetic of the room.

Its accompanying bar is entirely customdesigned with an overhead canopy, a wooden counter, and a granite countertop for the cabinetry.

18 | HARDY REALTY | HOME FEATURE

The most notable addition to the basement, though, is the wine cellar. It currently holds 600 bottles and has a chiller unit installed.

Adjacent to the bar and billiards is a spacious recreation room with a large fireplace.

A wonderful spot for entertaining and hosting.

Further down there is also an exercise room and a storm cellar.

Accompanying the house itself are several outdoor amenities designed for both leisure and added utility. In the front yard is a fencedin orchard with various fruit trees, along with blueberry and raspberry bushes.

Tucked away in the backyard is a bocce ball court with an accompanying sitting area and a pizza oven. A blue stone walkway and stone staircase lead to the lower portion of the yard, where prospective owners will find a fenced-in

HARDY REALTY | HOME FEATURE | 19

greenhouse garden complete with an elegant wrought-iron gate. On the opposite side of the yard is also a chicken coop with convenient interior and exterior fans. While each of them has been hand-crafted and designed with the ease of the owner in mind, the coop is the most notable of these. It contains both the standard raised beds in a smaller interior portion and a fenced-in portion overlooking the river. Both of these are built so that the chickens can pass from one to the other with ease. The owner will also have easy access to the chickens on both sides, particularly the raised beds: they are constructed with small doors, similar to cabinets, to minimize stress when collecting eggs. This same area also contains large cabinets under the raised beds for easy storage.

When it comes to 525 North River Road, there is much to offer and explore. From the riverside view to the serene landscape and peaceful ambiance, it is truly a home like no

other.

The

theatre is the home of the stars. Amidst the blank canvas of the stage, there is an ever-present air of possibility—a star ready to burst into life. And at the Jewel of Broad Street, they will be shining brighter than ever this Christmas.

Lighting up The Desoto stage this season is Christmas in Killarney!

The story of an Irish woman and her American boyfriend celebrating Christmas “the ‘Irish’ way,” Christmas in Killarney is a soul-stirring, high-leaping, Rockin-Around-the-Christmas-Tree jamboree.

“Created by the 2009 World Champion of Irish Dance Scott Doherty and worldwide touring Irish musician Chris Smith, Christmas In Killarney combines the excitement of Irish dance with the harmonies of traditional Christmas classics.”

24

V3 MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2025 | READV3.COM

With a group of talented minds behind it, Christmas in Killarney promises to be the show of the season: “The creative team includes Broadway Director Jeff Whiting, Emmy award-winning Set Designer Jason Ardizzone-West, Arranger Gary Lensenmayer, Costume Designer Sarah Cubbage and New Yorkbased Light Designer Aaron Porter.”

Christmas in Killarney is making a one-night stop to The Desoto on their tour around the United States on December 16th. For one night only, Romans will get to watch these stars take the stage.

The opportunity to host a Broadway-level show is one that the Historic Desoto Theatre Foundation has been working towards for many years.

O.C. Lam first sought to bring the stars to Rome in the 1920s—the era of the silver screen. With the newly-revolutionized talkie films sweeping the States, he leapt at the opportunity to create the first talkie theater of the South. He called it The Desoto: a sprawling, artdeco-style palace among the likes of the New York Roxy.

Since its establishment in 1929, The Desoto has been a haven for artistic innovation, a testament to the creativity of O.C. Lam and his fellow Romans.

The Rome Little Theatre troupe purchased The Desoto in 1982 and added its current stage. It was later sold to the Historic Desoto Theatre Foundation, who have built upon the visions of both Lam and the RLT troupe to create a space for all performing arts.

Under their care, The Desoto has not only been revived but revitalized. They have invested over a million dollars in improving The Desoto on both practical and aesthetic fronts.

They’ve assured the longevity of the space by building new retaining walls, replacing decaying wood, and conducting an electrical overhaul (note from Michelle Picon: “not an easy task in a plaster building!”). Beyond construction, they’ve also revamped The Desoto’s original style, bringing back the glamorous Art Deco decor.

Their efforts have made The Desoto a place to remember, and one where they are proud to preserve Rome’s history and celebrate its progression with productions like Christmas in Killarney. The Desoto’s Development Director Michelle Picon says, “We are small

READV3.COM | DECEMBER 2025 V3 MAGAZINE

25

and our facilities and technology are limited, but the improvements that we have made in recent years allowed us to bring this elaborate production.”

They haven’t made this journey alone, though: the Rome Little Theatre troupe, Seven Hills Fellowship, and the Rome International Film Festival have all helped bring The Desoto into the modern day through investments and performances.

The HDTF embraces Rome’s sense of community wholeheartedly, with the help of their collaborators and sponsors. Lending additional support to their production of Christmas in Killarney are their sponsors Kerry Group and Magical Travel and Events.

According to Michal Zelenak, the Plant Controller of Kerry’s Rome

26

V3 MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2025 | READV3.COM

division, “70% of the food you eat, in some form, has ingredients that come from Kerry.”

Kerry produces ingredients for a multitude of food companies, spanning from Lays’s and Gatorade’s flavors and nutritions to McDonald’s coatings and breadcrumbs. Among 150 manufacturing facilities, Kerry’s Rome division is one of their largest.

“Every single day, Kerry in Rome produces 1.5 million pounds of product,” says Michal.

Kerry’s home base is in County Kerry, Ireland. Naturally, their Rome division was “a great partner for our "Irish Christmas Celebration" musical,” says Michelle Picon.

Should anyone want to see an Irish Christmas for themselves after seeing the show, Magical Travel and Events is ready to help you get there.

Magical Travel and Events makes “travel easy, worry-free, and FUN.” With great suppliers and better deals, their travel agents use their expertise to help everyone plan their perfect trip.

“We can't arrange for perfect weather, but you will know that your vacation or honeymoon has been carefully planned by a local travel professional that cares about your experience.”

Behind every Christmas celebration is a community coming together to inspire joy.

This season’s production of Christmas in Killarney not only marks

Rome’s progress but its continued sense of togetherness. As they continue shaping Rome—creating and innovating and building anew—support each other along the way.
