  • Saints + Council set to open in Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta

    Saints + Council Opening In Midtown Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    Saints + Council is set to open on Friday, December 10, 2021, in Atlanta’s Colony Square development.

    Brought to us by the CEO of Atlanta’s Cafe Intermezzo William Pitts, Saints + Council has been in the works since 2016, according to a press release.

    Saints + Council Opens At Colony Square In Midtown Atlanta

    Pitts wants customers to be wowed by Saints + Council’s decor, which will feature stylish living room pods, a fireplace, stately columns and more.

    The concept promises to be different from any dining experience you’ve probably had before. Here are some features that Saints + Council will have:

    • No single server: Customers can expect to be helped by several waiters and waitresses throughout their dining experience
    • You also won’t have to leave after an hour of service. They want you to stick around as long as you like!
    • Service will be handled by a team of staffers called “Memory Makers,” which will take care of everything from busing to food running to hosting and more.

    What Will Be On The Menu At Saints + Council?

    The menu at Saints + Council will be “focused” and “seasonally appropriate,” according to the press release.

    Best of all, Saints + Council’s cuisine will center on the “Dutch Baby” (a German egg pancake) culinary strategy, which will be served for breakfast along with pancakes, benedicts and different bowls.

    Lunch will consist of a variety of small plates, slow-cooked meats, savory sandwiches, seasonal salads and more Dutch Babies.

    Pitts said Colony Square, which is less than a quarter-mile from Cafe Intermezzo, won his heart because he was impressed with what the proprietors were doing with the place.

    “I chose Colony Square because the NAP [North American Properties] team is the best at what they do; continuously delivering high-level experiences,” Pitts said in a statement. Throughout my relationship with NAP, I felt like more than just a tenant, rather a true partner and I am grateful to have the opportunity to extend our relationship.”

    Saints + Council is among the many new restaurants set to open in Midtown Atlanta.

    If you want to check out some other romantic restaurants in Atlanta, these are hard to beat. But Atlanta also has trendy restaurants, pop-ups and time-tested landmarks that continue to draw big crowds.

    Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene continues to grow with no stops on the horizon. Ready to try something new?

    What Is A Short Sale In Real Estate?

    3 Min Read

    If you’re interested in buying property, you should know all you can about a short sale, which is a very valuable transaction in real estate.

    In this article, we’re going to tell you what you need to know about a short sale in real estate.

    What Is A Short Sale?

    A short sale is one in which a motivated seller, typically someone in financial trouble, sells their home for less than what it’s worth.

    Because of the complexities involved, a short sale will typically involve a lender who approves the transaction. Another difference from a traditional real estate transaction is that in a short sale, the seller doesn’t pay for closing costs. Those fees are split between the lender and buyer.

    As you can imagine, a short sale is a good deal for the buyer, but can be a terrible thing for the seller, at least in one sense.

    Is A Short Sale Good Or Bad?

    A short sale is good for the buyer because they get to buy a home for far cheaper than it normally would be listed for.

    On the other hand, for the seller, a short sale may get them out of a mortgage, but their credit will take a major hit in the process.

    The seller will typically look to do a short sale of a home as a way to avoid a foreclosure, which would hurt their credit even more.

    Is It A Good Idea To Buy A Short Sale House?

    You may be weighing whether buying a short sale house is a good idea. While the price will likely be reduced, you should know that there may be some issues with the home that require quite a lot of time or money.
    For that reason, short sales are usually purchased by seasoned real estate investors, who have the time and money to invest. Let’s talk about what’s required.

    The Time

    The time you be spent not only repairing the home and getting it into shape for someone to live there, but securing the necessary paperwork and permits from the appropriate government agencies.

    The Money

    You can bet that it’s going to also cost you a pretty penny to turn the home into something that attracts a buyer. Let’s just not hope that there’s no foundation or roof problems, which will be quite expensive.

    Where Can I Find Short Sales In Georgia?

    You can get a list of short sales in your area by reaching out to your local Realtor, who would be familiar with the process as well.

    You can also find short sales on the following real estate websites:

    Final Word

    Real estate prices are on the rise around the state, but you can find a good deal if you’re patient.

    Contrary to its name, a short sale may take several months before it is finally approved. You can use that time to secure a contractor to do some of the jobs that need to be completed once the home becomes yours.

    You may need a plumber, electrician and carpenter for starters.

    Are you trying to become more financially literate? Check out Money Mondays at AtlantaFi.com, where we’ll share strategies to save and make cash.

    When Is Episode 3 Coming Of FX’s Atlanta

    That’s when we can expect to see Season 3 episodes, according to comments from FX executive John Landgraf.

    He said in a recent interview that the comedy-drama’s third season just wrapped filming. That means Season 4 has begun shooting in earnest.

    Landgraf, speaking during the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, said, “We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting. It was shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta. All of the scripts for that season have been written.”

    Atlanta was a top-rated show featuring Donald Glover and Lakeith Stanfield. But filming never resumed after Glover lost his father.

    The series production team along with actors all are set to travel to Europe, where both Seasons 3 and 4 will reportedly be shot. Filming is expected to begin on April 5.

    When Will Atlanta FX Return? Read This

    So when will Atlanta return? Glover took to social media in April 2021 to say:

    “Atlanta Season 3 comes out probably the beginning of next year.”

    Glover made the comments in a random musing released on audio.

    The popular show began production in March 2021. Glover signed an eight-figure deal with Amazon that includes his own content channel on Prime.

    Both of the next two seasons are being filmed one after the next, which is something that they had planned to do even before the pandemic began.

    In early 2020, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks, spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.

    Landgraf said that the next two seasons will debut in 2021. But not only, that he indicated that Seasons 3 and 4 will be linked as a “Part 1 & 2” arrangement.

    What we also know is that Season 3 will be 10 episodes and Season 4 will be eight episodes. If it’s going to be all part of one story arch, it makes sense that the seasons will be all shot in sequence.

    According to Esquire magazine, the show’s new seasons hint that they will focus on the music career of Paper Boi, played by the magnificent Brian Tyree Henry.

    Landgraf also tipped his hand to let us know that a large part of Seasons 3, 4 or both will be shot in a foreign country.

    What Has The AtlantaFX Cast Been Doing?

    It’s not like the cast members of AtlantaFX have been sitting on their thumbs. They have been getting busy, taking one project after another on the big and small screen.

    Here are some of the movie projects the cast of AtlantaFX have been doing since the show’s last episodes, which was in 2018.

    If you want to get in your AtlantaFX fix on TV, here’s where to watch the show.

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    Georgia Bulldog 2021 Football Schedule: Scores, Dates And Times

    6 Min Read
    The Georgia Bulldogs have national championship aspirations at this point. They can’t be denied. They’ve run through the SEC East and dominated all of their opponents except for an inspired Alabama Crimson Tide.
    Georgia’s 12-1 mark is something to be proud of considering how hard the squad worked throughout the season.

    Congratulations On The Georgia Bulldogs’ 12-1 Season

    What the Georgia defense did all season was remarkable, considering they never were in a close game except for the first game of the season against Clemson.
    Many of the players on Georgia’s defense will no doubt be playing on Sundays in the near future. The Bulldogs defense only allowed seven touchdowns in 44 quarters before the SEC Championship Game.
    Let’s look back at one of the most successful seasons in Georgia Bulldogs history.

    Let’s watch the highlights.

     

    Week 4: Georgia 62 Vanderbilt 0

    The No. 2 Bulldogs ran over the Commodores in Nashville, Tennessee. Georgia moved the ball largely at will, piling up 524 yards in complete domination. Vandy only garnered 77 yards as Smart’s squad improved to 4-0.

    Week 5: Georgia 37 Arkansas 0

    The No. 8-ranked Razorbacks come into Athens with something to prove as the Bulldogs face their toughest contest yet.

    Week 6: Georgia 34 Auburn 10

    Georgia steamrolled the Auburn Tigers, 34 to 10, hamstringing their quarterback, Bo Nix. Georgia’s defense set the pace early on and the offense pulled away with 17 second half points.

    Even more sweet news? Georgia was projected to move to the #1 national spot after Alabama’s loss to Texas A&M.

    Here’s what Coach Smart has to say about the team’s victory:

    Week 7: 13 Kentucky Vs. 30 Georgia

    The No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs had little trouble with the Missouri Tigers, dominating the Tigers in a 43-6 rotue at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

    Week 10: Georgia 45 Georgia Tech 0

    SEC Championship Game: Georgia vs. Alabama

    No. 1 ranked Georgia finally lost a game, being outgunned by sophomore Bryce Young and the Alabama Crimson Tide, 41 to 24. The matchup went down on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021 before a packed house in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    Georgia’s vaunted defense held up in the first quarter, but gave up 24 straight points in the second quarter to trial by 7 at the half. Bama held court for the entire second half.

    Here are the highlights.

    College Football Playoff: Georgia 34, Michigan 11

    Then came the Orange Bowl: The Bulldogs heard a lot of smack all week about how good the Michigan Wolverines were, but the rugged SEC schedule prepared the Dawgs well: Quarterback Stetson Bennett threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns as the Bulldogs ran away with the game.

    Here are the highlights from the Orange Bowl:

    This set up a rematch of the vaunted Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia. Would the Bulldogs avenge 40 years of close calls and missed opportunities??
