    Chef Deborah VanTrece To Open Italian Restaurant in Cascade Heights
    cj-johnson-2 April 20, 2023
    2 Min Read

    Atlanta chef and restaurateur Deborah VanTrece is opening an Italian restaurant called La Parnada, AtlantaFi.com has learned.

    The new Italian restaurant will be housed in the space formerly occupied by VanTrece’s Latin soul food eatery, Serenidad, which closed abruptly in February.

    Chef Deborah VanTrece To Open Italian Restaurant La Pernada

    VanTrece’s new restaurant La Pernada will open its doors on May 12, 2023, around the same time the finalists for the James Beard Awards, which honor the nation’s top chefs and food creators, are announced. VanTrece is a semifinalist this year.

    The new eatery is a relatively small space, which suits VanTrace just fine these days.

    “I was at a point [before the pandemic] when I was looking for bigger space,” she told Nation’s Restaurant News. “We need bigger! We need bigger!” she said. “And now I’ve completely gotten that out of my head where I don’t want to take that big space, the challenges — not just the expenses related to it, but even the employment.”

    She also owns Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours in West Midtown and Oreatha’s at the Point in Cascade.

    As for La Pernada, the menu will specialize in traditional Italian fare prepared with local ingredients, according to a news release.

    Where Is La Pernada Located?

    La Pernada is located at 2317 Cascade Rd, Atlanta, GA 30311. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    Final Word

    The VanTrece Hospitality Group continues to push the plate when it comes to expansion around Atlanta. We can’t wait to try the fare at La Pernarda.

    Chef VanTrece’s take on Italian cuisine will no doubt be a hit in Cascade Heights. The eatery will add to the great black-owned restaurants you need to know about in the city.

    With City’s Help, Hertz Plans To ‘Electrify Atlanta’
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 20, 2023
    4 Min Read

    Looking at the highways, electric vehicles are increasingly becoming the cars that Atlanta residents drive. A new deal between car rental giant Hertz and the City of Atlanta aims to accelerate the trend.

    Hertz  chair and CEO Stephen Scherr and Mayor of Atlanta Andre Dickens launched Hertz Electrifies Atlanta, a public private partnership aimed at accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and expanding the environmental and economic benefits of electrification throughout Atlanta.

    Hertz, Mayor Team Up To ‘Electrify Atlanta’

    As part of the partnership, Hertz aims to bring up to an additional 4,000 rental EVs to Atlanta – including models from GM, Tesla and Polestar – for availability to leisure and business customers as well as rideshare drivers.

    In partnership with bp, Hertz will support the installation of up to eight public fast chargers at its Hertz Uber Rental and EV Charging Location near Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

    In addition, Hertz is partnering with Atlanta College and Career Academy (ACCA) to help bring EV education and training opportunities to its students and making summer job opportunities available through the city’s Summer Youth Employment Program.

    “We are thrilled to partner with Mayor Dickens in launching Hertz Electrifies Atlanta, particularly given the city’s position as a global transportation hub and an important center of innovation and commerce,” said Stephen Scherr, Hertz chair and CEO. “As Hertz creates the largest electric vehicle rental fleet in North America, we are proud to bring a range of EVs to our broad customer set in Atlanta, and to work with Atlanta College and Career Academy to help train the EV workforce of the future.”

    The initiative aligns with Mayor Dickens’s pledge to put Atlanta on track to meet City of Atlanta Historic Clean Energy Plan goals to transition to 100% clean energy by 2035. In addition, Hertz’s partnership with Atlanta College and Career Academy and participation in the Youth Employment Program underscores the Mayor’s Year of the Youth initiative.

    “The City of Atlanta wants 100% clean energy for 100% of Atlantans by 2035, and public-private partnerships like the Hertz Electrifies Atlanta initiative will help us move closer to our goal,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “This initiative will help ensure our students have access to a high-growth industry and be part of our green energy future.”

    Atlanta is home to Hertz’s third largest total fleet and third largest EV fleet in the U.S., which will expand significantly through Hertz Electrifies. Additionally, Atlanta is an important location for EV rideshare driving, through a partnership between Hertz and Uber.

    Nearly 50,000 drivers on the Uber platform have rented electric vehicles from Hertz through the partnership, traveling over 260 million miles with zero emissions nationally and 15 million miles with zero emissions in Atlanta.

    To support its growing rideshare business in Atlanta, Hertz is working with bp pulse to support the installation of publicly accessible EV fast-chargers at the Hertz Uber Rental and EV Charging Location near Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

    “At Uber, we believe that climate change is an urgent global challenge we must all tackle together,” said Bob Rupp, Director of Vehicle Operations, Uber. “Our partnership with Hertz is designed to accelerate the adoption of EVs across America, including right here in Atlanta. We’re excited to see even more electric vehicles on the road and look forward to working with industry partners, like Hertz, to find new, innovative, and affordable ways to help drivers in Atlanta go electric.”

    As part of its work with Atlanta College and Career Academy, Hertz is donating a Chevy Bolt and providing EV educational and training materials to enable the school to incorporate EV technology into its auto servicing curriculum.

    “Access to hands-on experience with the latest technology is critical for Atlanta Public Schools scholars as we prepare them for careers we can’t even begin to imagine,” said Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Lisa Herring. “We are very thankful to partner with Hertz to bring an electric vehicle to our flagship auto servicing program at Atlanta College and Career Academy and look forward to working together to ensure students have the skills they need to succeed in the future.”

    Atlanta is the third City to partner with Hertz through Hertz Electrifies, as part of a multi-city rollout of this national public-private initiative.

    Business / News

    Could NHL Franchise Come To South Forsyth Mega-Project?
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 18, 2023
    5 Min Read

    There’s been several news reports connecting the return of the National Hockey League to Atlanta. Although there have been no confirmations on another professional hockey team entering the local market (the Atlanta Gladiators are currently the area’s only pro hockey club), that has not stopped the rampant speculation.

    What we do know is that a 100 acre property in South Forsyth is looking to attract retail, entertainment, and yes, an NHL team if they can.

    South Forsyth Project: What We Know

    The project stems from North Georgia entrepreneur Vernon Krause, known for his Krause Auto Group, among other businesses. Krause has been talking to municipal leaders as he looks to build an entertainment hub in one of the northern metro counties.

    What Is The Gathering?

    The Gathering is a planned mega-development that serve as a gathering place for North Georgia residents and “the Gateway to South Forsyth County,” as a press release puts it.

    Here are some facts to know about the $1 billion The Gathering development:

    • 750,000 square foot arena
    • 1.6 million square feet of commercial and retail space
    •  A 100,000 square foot community center
    • A 7,500 square foot fire station
    • 450 hotel rooms with meeting spaces and residential units

     Where Will The Gathering Be Located?

    The Gathering will be located at the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Union Hill Road along Georgia 400,

    “The community of South Forsyth holds great meaning for me. As a global entertainment hub, The Gathering at South Forsyth will provide residents, employers and visitors with the ability to see their favorite musician, experience a family-friendly ice show or eat at a James Beard-awarded restaurant without having to sit in their car for hours,” said Krause. “The development will include the best in advanced technology, sustainability, walkability and connectivity – all within a comfortable and accessible setting,” he added.

    Hockey may be coming back to Atlanta, or in this case, suburban Atlanta, according to news reports. A hockey arena called “The Gathering” in south Forsyth County seems to be the location of the National Hockey League team.

    The National Hockey League may once again enter the metro Atlanta market, according to ESPN hockey anchor John Buccigross, who tweeted that pro hockey could once again find a home in metro Atlanta. It has now been revealed that the destination will be Alpharetta.

    The team would play in a new arena in North Fulton County, according to various reports, including the Twitter account @NHLtoAtlanta. ” Mixed use property & arena is proposed for construction by property owner Vernon Krause on the corner of Union Hill & Reagan. Property is estimated $1B in value and will seat 18,500. Estimated 3 years to build,” the account tweeted.

    Rather than adding an expansion team, the NHL reportedly is looking at relocating one of its existing franchises to Georgia. “However, this is likely due to the league awaiting what happens with Arizona and Tempe. Regardless, this is exciting info for the Atlanta Hockey Community,” NHLtoAtlanta tweeted.

    ‘We think it makes sense here. Private sector will be the ones who make the decision,” Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin told 11Alive. “But we want to be in a position that we know what we’re doing if the opportunity arises.”

    Alpharetta has been trying to attract a sports team for some time now, Gilvin told the TV station. ”

    “We hired a sports consulting firm a few months ago to look into this because we were getting proposals from different leagues and different sports and things like that and we wanted to know the viability,” Gilvin said. “So, we’re hopeful to get some type of information from that consultant in the next month or two that we can share publicly.”

    Not everyone has met the news with excitement. Atlanta Gladiators co-owner Anson Carter, a former NHL player and current hockey commentator, told WSB’s Zach Klein that he was disappointed in the news.

    “Shows a lot of disrespect for the hockey community to drop this tonight. The entire hockey world knows what happening tonight. It shows me a total disconnect.,” Carter told Klein. “That’s why hockey has failed in this community twice. I’m focused on the roots, not the fruits. Best of luck to them, I’m excited for them, but it’s disappointing.”

    The Gathering development

    “The Gathering at South Forsyth will be an economic driver like no other,” said Alfred John – Chairman, Forsyth County Commission. “It will enhance what our County currently offers with an added focal point for world-class events, shopping and dining, and it will generate thousands of jobs both during, and after, construction. In addition, for the first time, our students and their families will be able to celebrate milestone achievements like graduations without limitations or being forced to travel outside the County’s boundaries. This best-in-class development will create a halo effect that will raise the County’s visibility and provide added economic growth opportunities,” he added.

    Final Word

    While there’s no doubt that a huge project is brewing in Forsyth County, it remains to be seen if an NHL team — or any sports franchise — decides to put down roots there. As always, as the project continues to develop, stay with AtlantaFi.com for the latest.

    Filming Locations: Where Has The Big Door Prize Filmed In Georgia?

    The Big Door Prize has filmed in Atlanta, Winder, and Loganville to name a few.

    What Is The Big Door Prize About?

    The Big Door Prize chronicles life in a small town when a majestic machine appears at a local grocery store and strange things start to happen. The inspiration for the series is very similar to the Zoltar machine in the movie Big.

    The Zoltar machine in the Big movie never actually worked — it was a film prop, but it’s popularity took on a life of its town.

    The name Zoltan might be derived from the 18th century term Sultan, according to some sources.

    How To Watch The Big Door Prize

    The Big Door Prize can be streamed on AppleTV+.

    Grants Available As Part Of Black Maternal Health Initiative, ‘Love Delivered’

    Atlanta families who are pregnant or recently postpartum will be selected to receive doula services through a grant program sponsored by cosmetics line Carol’s Daughter and the Mama Glow Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for reproductive justice.

    The recipients in Georgia’s largest city join those in four other U.S. jurisdictions: NYC, Miami, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.

    Carol’s Daughter Launches Birthing While Black Campaign

    The initiative is in honor of Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17, 2023) and coincides with Carol’s Daughter’s Birthing While Black campaign, which showcases the real-life stories of Black people navigating the crisis.

    To kick off the campaign, Black birthing people everywhere are encouraged to share their birthing stories on social to raise awareness around Black Maternal Health, by using the hashtag: #BirthingWhileBlack and tagging @carolsdaughter. Each post will spark a donation to the Mama Glow Foundation that will help fund doula support for families in need.

    Advocates such as Married to Medicine’s Dr. Jackie and Audra Curry and singer Lion Babe have joined in on the cause to shed light on this important initiative by sharing anecdotes from their own experience and encouraging their followers to do the same. Additional activities under Birthing While Black will be rolling out throughout the year.

    “While the recent statistics [on maternal mortality] are alarming and sobering, they only serve to further fuel our drive and commitment to this cause,” said Carol’s Daughter founder Lisa Price. “The work of birthing people should only be the work of giving birth and that experience being as beautiful as it can be. Our work is to advocate for them to have what they deserve.”

    The health disparities are related to several factors, including access to quality healthcare, underlying chronic diseases, systemic racism, and implicit bias. This is why Love Delivered remains committed to expanding its efforts to empower, support and equip Black birthing people and the greater community to advocate for their health and wellness, and give allies the resources to be well-informed in supporting positive birthing experiences.

    Since its inception, Love Delivered has engaged with over 190,000 people through events, doula grants, education, and webinars. Additional events and #BirthingWhileBlack activities will take place throughout the year to ensure that Black birthing people and their community have the resources they need to thrive.

    Love Delivered programming includes:

    • Access to online resources and maternity experts for expectant and new families
    • Community building events and forums for expectant and new families and their allies for sharing joyful, inspiring, birthing experiences
    • Love Delivered self-care deliveries, including a partnership with the NewYork-Presbyterian Dalio Center for Health Justice that began in 2022. After an initial donation of Carol’s Daughter hair products in Obstetrics and Pediatrics at the NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist campus, the health system is planning to distribute an additional 25,000-45,000 kits across the enterprise beginning this Fall.
