Atlanta-Area Holiday Inn Gets a Stylish Makeover – First Holiday Inn in the World to Present “The Hub” Concept
I know what you’re thinking: I live in Atlanta – why would I need to visit the Holiday Inn in Duluth? Maybe you’re planning on seeing a concert or a Gwinnett Gladiators hockey game at Gwinnett Arena and won’t want to drive home afterward. Or maybe you just want to check out their delightful renovation [...]

My husband, Ben, is a huge fan of IPAs, so no holiday seemed more fitting for him to celebrate than the First International IPA Day. Since I had a conflicting event last night, he was kind enough to snap a few photos between sips and to let me post them here. Did you get to [...]
Support Local Georgia Artisans at Williams Sonoma Artisans’ Market – Saturday, August 5, 2011
Last month, when I heard that my good friend Angie of Phickles Pickles had been chosen to be a part of Williams Sonoma’s Local Artisans’ Market, I was so excited for her! But I had to miss the event so I had to wait a whole month to go and see her in her phickle-y [...]
Another Burger Joint for Atlanta? Yup – and It’s Smashing Good! Smashburger Opens First Location in Buckhead, With 29 More to Come!
I’m a huge fan of the burger – from way before it was trendy and cool to like burgers, even when it was decidedly uncool to eat red meat. My dad used to make us juicy, fresh-from-the-grill burgers when I was a kid – stuffed with bleu cheese or cheddar, with onions mixed in to the [...]
