42 TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | FEB 2018
Pets, Prince, Princess, King, Queen
January tends to be a super dull month around here. No tourists, hideous
weather and a general laissez faire creeps upon us all. Well, kids, I have
good news for you! January’s Bartender of the Month will cheer you right
up and make you all sorts of happy! You can find our girl, Laurie Greene at
A-J’s slinging good times and good weather (mental good weather)! Laurie
has a terrific, cheery disposition that will get anyone out of their funk.
Born in middle Georgia, Laurie had nomadic parents that loved to travel.
Her parents took her and her brother and sister all over the East Coast.
Graduating from high school in Alexandria, AL, Laurie wanted to go back
to the Peach State. Settling in Atlanta, Laurie went to work for a real
estate developer. 20 years later, Laurie had earned her real estate license
long before and was multi-tasking whilst still working for the developer.
She thought she had it all - until the day she walked into a bar in Henry
County…
Laurie met Casey Greene in 2011 at a bar in Macon and he swept her
off her feet! They were married instantly and blended their two families
together (which now happily boasts six kids and three grandchildren!!).
Moving to Macon, the Greene’s settled into life. Macon provided a
crossroads for them and they decided they wanted something different.
Something beachy! Well, one thing lead to another and in 2013, the
Greene’s moved their clan to Tybee and have never looked back.
Naturally, I had to ask Laurie the main Questions of Life:
Tybee Life: Almost five years
Passion: Beach days and anything involving being in or on the water
When She Grows Up: A beach bum and a part time bartender (looks
like she’s grown up, y’all)
Spirit Animal: A dolphin as they are friendly and hang out with their
pod community forever.
Laurie’s go to drink is the LoLo GoGo, which is similar to a pineapple
upside-down-cake-tini, but has a secret ingredient that makes it absolutely
perfectly delish! Order one of these while you gaze out at the back river
and life is just perfect!
So, in the doldrums or need a pick me up? Happy, but want to be happier?
Go see Laurie at A-J’s and get your LoLo on! Good times right there!
