    Perhaps you’ve seen filming signage around the city for the original movie from Disney Branded Television.

    The Slumber Party began filming around Georgia’s largest city in October 2022 and into the next month. The movie is based on the teen novel, The Sleepover, written by Jen Malone.

    • Alex Cooper Cohen

    What Is The Plot Of The Slumber Party?

    A summary of the plot says it takes place in the “hilarious aftermath of a sleepover birthday party hypnotism gone wrong as best friends Megan (Camp) and Paige (Liu-Wang), along with soon-to-be step-sister Veronica (Cooper Cohen), wake up with absolutely no memory of the night before. Now they must retrace their steps to find missing birthday girl Anna Maria (Herrera) … and explain why there’s a flock of baby ducks in the bathtub, what happened to Megan’s left eyebrow, and why she’s wearing unattainable hottie Jake Ramirez’s (Rodriguez) signature black hoodie.”

    Hylton Casting was casting for The Slumber Party in the fall of 2022.

The service was fast and friendly, we only came in for drinks and they were extremely over priced and that small glass where was the alcohol? That was top shelf I ordered, even though you tried to sell me bar brand because top shelf was very empty. And the men’s bathroom could certainly use a cleaning every so often or two. Beyond that the looked good the wait staff spoke as we sat at our table. Maybe we should had eaten that delicious looking food and had a soda. The place was packed waiting to be seated only. On my next visit I’ll order a meal.”

  • Southwest plane

    Southwest Airlines Quietly Puts Fares On Sale

    5 Min Read

    After so much end-of-the-year holiday travel confusion from Southwest Airlines, travelers are finally back home and operations are back to normal for the carrier. Will you fly Southwest again? I’m sure that depends.

    From Atlanta, the airline currently has some cheap flights for January, February and March 2023, if you want to take advantage.

    How Far Out Are Southwest Airlines’ Cheapest Fares?

    A sampling of airfares in the first week of January 2023 from Atlanta to Los Angeles shows fares as cheap as $148 one way deep into summer.

    cheap Southwest Fares

    The airline seems to have course corrected since an epic failure of mass cancellations in which thousands of passengers were left stranded right before the Christmas holiday.

    What Caused Southwest To Cancel So Many Flights?

    A perfect storm of events has led Southwest to cancel its flight schedules en mass, including an unusually large arctic blast that briefly swept over the continental United States.

    According to news reports, Southwest has canceled more than 15,700 flights since December 22.

    Another issue that hurt the airline is its dependence on free-flying planes from one destination to another rather than a traditional “hub” system used by Delta, United and other major airlines.

    Should I Fly Southwest Airlines?

    Although Southwest is doing what it can to catch up its flight schedule, fliers will have to make a real decision on whether to fly the airline after this.

    One thing Southwest has for it is it’s relatively cheap fares and generous baggage policy.

    Finding affordable fares that allow you to travel anywhere for cheap is an art and a science this days. Thankfully, Southwest Airlines has frequent sales.

    This article will tell you how to get the best Southwest fare you can get as well as what to expect on your flight.

    Flying Southwest? Here’s What You Need To Know

    We’ve previously covered Southwest’s Low Fare Calendar. In this article, we’ll discuss the process you’ll likely go through on a Southwest airlines flight and other things you’ll want to know.

    Southwest is popular among fliers because it’s the only major airline that allows you to carry two free checked bags. Some other perks you get with Southwest are:

    • No change fees
    • No cancel fees

    On most Southwest flights, you also get same-day changes, same-day standby and the fares are refundable.

    Sign Up For Southwest Rapid Rewards

    One way to save on a flight is to take advantage of Southwest’s Rapid Rewards program.

    With Rapid Rewards, you earn 2 points per $1 spent on Southwest and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.

    To maximize your savings, you may opt to buy your fare with cash rather than use your Rapid Rewards points.

    Will Southwest Flights Go Down In Price?

    Southwest Airlines usually publishes its sales on a seasonal basis. If you’re a Rapid Rewards member, you’ll get an email with low fares to several destinations.

    Out of Atlanta, the emails will usually look like this.

    Southwest sale from Atlanta, Georgia

    Where Does Southwest Airlines Fly For $49?

    One of Southwest’s most popular fares is its cheap $49 flights, which typically cover cities between 300 to 500 miles from each other.

    For example, Southwest has a route that goes from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Although they may advertise it for a cheap price, Southwest is known to go up on the price from one day to the next. 

    What Day Are Southwest Fares Cheaper?

    Southwest usually drops its fares on Tuesdays, which is when its members get emails advertising cheap flights.

    On Tuesdays, Southwest matches prices to compete with low-cost carriers. You can either try to book in the morning or afternoon to get a flight.

    How To Book A Flight On Southwest

    To book a flight on Southwest Airlines, go to Southwest.com and enter your departing city or airport and arriving city/airport.

    cheap flights on Southwest

    Is Southwest The Cheapest Airline?

    Southwest Airlines is known as a low-cost airline, but it’s not the cheapest. Their are other airlines with lower fares, but you won’t get the same customer service that you get with Southwest.

    JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines both have competitive flights along with Southwest, but neither of them give you two free bags.

    Final Word

    If you’re considering flying with Southwest, always check their Wanna Get Away fares, which are the best deals. Wanna Get Away flights offer cheap economy fares that are hard to beat.

    If your destination is not as popular, you may be able to get a cheap fare closer to the departure date, but it just depends.

    Thinking about getting away? Get your passport, and do your research to find the cheapest flights from Atlanta that are on sale.  And don’t forget these travel hacks to save money and time.

    To Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.

    Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

  • How To List Your Home On Airbnb For Atlanta

    How To Rent Your Home On AirBnb In Atlanta

    4 Min Read

    Renting your home out on AirBnb may be one of the easiest ways to achieve your goal and make extra money

    Hotels don’t give tenants the same amenities and square footage as a typical AirBnb. That gives the homesharing site and app a clear advantage.

    In this article, we’ll cover all the details on how to rent your home on Airbnb.

    Is It Profitable To Rent Your Home On AirBnb?

    Renting your home on AirBnb can be very profitable. Because many hotels charge high rates, it makes for an opportunity if you’re willing to list your home.

    But before you do, make sure that you own a property in an area / neighborhood where new faces are welcome and guests feel safe.

    It’s also a good idea to to make sure your neighbors are aware of what’s going on to a reasonable degree. You might also want to check to see if your homeowners association forbids it.

    If you’re all clear, then you just need to prepare to rent your home.

    How Old Do You Have To Be To Rent On AirBnb?

    Airbnb’s terms of use indicate, guests and hosts must be 18 years or older. No children are allowed to create an account.

    That means you won’t have to worry about young kids renting out your home for a Sweet 16 party. College students, however, are generally old enough to use the platform.

    What Percentage Of Rent Does AirBnb Take?

    iAirbnb charges a service fee of 3% for hosts with a residential listing. If you have a Super Strict cancellation policy, you  may be charged more based on other factors.

    Now let’s go over how to set up your Airbnb account.

    List Your Home In 6 Steps

    1. Set up an account and log onto Airbnb.com, click on “Add a listing.”

    2. Once you go through the prompts, you’ll choose whether this is a guest house or one where you “keep your personal belongings.”

    You’ll also need to disclose whether you’re listing on behalf of a company or just yourself.

    3. Under “Sleeping Arrangements,” add how many beds are in the bedroom(s) as well as if you have a sofa bed.

    4. Once you add your address, you’ll need to confirm on a Google Map embedded in the page. Next, list any amenities like Wi-Fi, heat, AC (yes, those are all amenities) so that guests know what to expect.

    5. Next list all the “Spaces” that guests can use (pool, washing machine, dryer, etc.).

    6. Upload pictures of your home then describe your place, neighborhood and surrounding features to really sell it to would-be guests.

    Once you do that, you’re ready to press the button to list your home.

    3 Tips & Tricks When Renting Your Home On Airbnb

    • Remember, all transactions should be handled by Airbnb. Do not accept cash payment outside of the online system, that’s how trouble and discrepancies can arise.
    • Always draft some house rules: Let your guests know that this is not an anything-goes residence and that big parties are a no-no.
    • Before you accept a guest, make sure they have great reviews. If you read their ratings on Airbnb, that will give you the greatest indication of what type of guest they are.

    Final Word

    As you can see, there is some money to be made from renting your home out on Airbnb. To make the most of your home, always communicate your house rules to your guests ahead of time so there’s no misunderstanding.

    Also, we can’t stress it enough: Let your close neighbors know that you’re listing your home on Airbnb.

    There’s nothing worse than you renting out your home only to get a call from the cops hours later, saying that your neighbor reported a suspicious person on your property.

    Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.

  • Ideas to boost your home's curb appeal in Atlanta

    6 Curb Appeal Ideas For Your Atlanta Home

    3 Min Read

    The Atlanta real estate market is poised for a comeback this year. To make sure your home sells, you’ve got to spruce it up in a creative way.

    This article will show you some great ideas on how to spruce up your home’s curb appeal so that it entices potential buyers.

    Here Are 6 Awesome Curb Appeal Ideas

    Selling a home in Atlanta, or any large city right now, can be chaotic. 

    Cut Your Grass

    This one is obvious, but in the warmer months, your lawn can get out of control rather quickly. Keep a lawnmower on the property so you or a lawn maintenance worker can get to work keeping your grass cut.

    It may not seem like much, but having a well-manicured lawn adds points to your home’s overall appearance. Want to save gas? Check out this electric mower.

    Trim Your Hedges

    Always make sure your hedges, trees and shrubs are trimmed to compliment your home. The last thing a potential buyer wants to see are wayward vines and branches encroaching on the porch or walkway.

    Take the time to invest in some shears so that you can cut your shrubs and other things out of the way.

    Get Your Home A Paint Job

    PermaWhite Exnterior Semi-Gloss

    A fresh coat of paint can work wonders to a drab house looking for some life. Look for colors that give the illusion of width and height rather than opting for your personal favorite.

    If you can’t afford to get your home painted, think about some new ways to accent your exterior with house plants that add color.

    Keep Your Gutters Clean

    Another cosmetic thing that detracts from your home’s appearance is a gutter or roof filled with leaves. 

    Can’t get on a ladder to clean your roof’s gutters? Hire someone that can get the job done.

    Remove The Clutter

    If you’re one of those homeowners who keep old soda cans, vases or other contraptions on the porch, consider removing them before your potential buyer arrives.

    Again, you don’t want clutter to steal attention away from your home’s true character.

    Pressure Wash Your Concrete

    If you have a concrete walkway or driveway, consider getting it pressure washed to get rid of the stain. Your home can really shine once you give your walkway or the sidewalk in front of your home a once over.

    Bottom Line

    It could cost you a lot of money if you missed out on the sale of your home just because you didn’t tidy things up around the property. In essence, clean up.

    The time and energy you spend into boosting your curb appeal will be more than worth it in the long run.

    Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.
