    These Atlanta Stores Offer Curbside Pickup

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com October 13, 2020
    4 Min Read

    As the shopping season gets underway, you may be wondering which Atlanta stores offer curbside pickup. In addition to grocery stores, different types of retailers are offering the service. These retailers make it easy to get the products you’ve ordered online. All you have to do is pull up.

    This article is going to show you the Atlanta retailers that offer curbside pickup this shopping season. But first, let’s start with a fundamental question…

    What Is Curbside Pickup?

    Curbside pickup refers to the concierge approach to retail in which the customer picks up their products and goods outside the store rather than inside.

    In most cases, curbside pickup refers to a designated area outside the store where your items can be brought to you. Curbside pickup has exploded in popularity due to the necessity of COVID-19 precautions.

    How Does Curbside Pickup Work?

     Curbside pickup works with the cooperation of the customer and retail associate. Customers have the opportunity to pull up “to the curb” or in the front of the store and have their items brought to their car by a staff member.

    The idea behind curbside pickup is that it cuts down on the number of people inside the store as well as eliminates the need for the shopper to get out of their vehicle.

    The curbside pickup process works like this:

    • You go to the store’s website or app
    • You shop for items and checkout digitally
    • You get a notification on when your order is ready or you select a time range to come pick it up

    If you choose curbside pickup, typically you will receive a text, email or app notification of when your item is ready. When you pull up outside the store, you will either show them your phone or tell them your name.

    Is There A Fee For Curbside Pickup?

    Most retailers provide curbside pickup for free. If you order an item online, take a moment to analyze your receipt to see if a charg3 has been levied for curbside pickup.

    Stores typically don’t charge for curbside pickup, but such fees are up to the individual retailer.

    Which Stores Have Curbside Pickup In Atlanta?

    If you’re looking to do some shopping in Atlanta, these are the stores that offer curbside pickup.

    • Adidas
    • Ann Taylor
    • Bloomingdales
    • Dillards
    • Macy’s
    • Old Navy
    • The Vitamin Shoppe
    • Office Depot
    • Banana Republic
    • Bocado

    At Lenox Square, there are 31 stores with contact-free curbside pickup.

    2 Min Read

    After months of construction, Three Taverns Imaginarium at Memorial Drive’s Atlanta Dairies redevelopment will be opening in late October 2020.

    The Imaginarium is part of the Three Taverns Brewery family in Decatur, which is known for its fresh brews. Paces Properties, which is the developer behind Atlanta Dairies, announced the news in a press release.

    This means that the Memorial Drive corridor will continue its reputation as a place where some of the best bars in Atlanta can be found.

    Three Taverns Imaginarium To Open At Atlanta Dairies

    “Following delays brought on by COVID-19, we are happy to finally have Three Taverns Imaginarium open to our Atlanta Dairies community,” said David Cochran, president and CEO of Paces Properties. “As a well-known Georgia brewery and with a successful flagship location in Decatur, Three Taverns has grown to become a prominent Atlanta brand. We are confident the Imaginarium will be welcomed with open arms by the surrounding neighborhoods and beyond.”

    Atlanta Dairies is also home to the fabulous restaurant Wonderkid. Read our review of the place here. More recently, Cold Brew Bar reopened at the development as well.

  • Falcons coach Dan Quinn get fired?

    Atlanta Falcons Fire Dan Quinn, Thomas Dimitroff

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com October 11, 2020
    2 Min Read

    The Atlanta Falcons have fired head coach Dan Quinn and General Manager Thomas Dimitroff hours after their loss to the Carolina Panthers, the team confirmed late Sunday.

    Falcons President and CEO Rich McKay will assume day-to-day operations for the ball club, which had high hopes for this season.

    “Decisions like these are very difficult,” owner Authur Blank said in a written statement. “But the previous two seasons and start to this one have been especially hard for me because of the deep love, respect and admiration I and my family have for Dan, Thomas and their families.”

    If you would have told Atlanta Falcons and Quinn that his team would begin the 2020 season 0-5, no doubt he would not believe it. But that’s hole the Falcons have dug for themselves.

    As the season progresses, here are their remaining opponents, which will do all they can to continue the Falcons’ losing ways. Can Atlanta rebound? They have to. Let’s look at the schedule to see their chances.

    Who Do The Falcons Play This Week?

    The Falcons entered the season with big hopes, but coaching issues and a penchant for folding in the second half have haunted them.

    Why The Falcons Fired Dan Quinn

    Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn started the season on the hot seat after failing to avenge his team’s Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots two years ago.

    Atlanta Falcons 2020 schedule

    Criticism reached a fever pitch when the Falcons lost at the last second in Week 2 to the Dallas Cowboys. The noise got deafening after a similarly brutal collapse against the Chicago Bears. 

    In both games, the Falcons lead by double figures in the fourth quarter and nearly three scores at halftime. But Quinn managed to find a way to lose both games.

    Google Awards 2.3 Million To Atlanta Black Founders

    CJ Johnson cj-johnson-2 October 8, 2020
    3 Min Read

    Thirty-five of 76 recipients of the Google for Startups Black Founders cash awards will go to metro Atlanta businesses, the company says in a news release.

    Those 35 local entrepreneurs will each receive up to $100,000 in cash awards, totaling 2.3 million. The sum is about half of the $5 million Google has allotted for the program.

    The money is non-dilutive, which means founders have not had to give up any stakes in their companies.

    The monetary prizes signal Google’s renewed commitment to minority businesses across the country, but especially in Georgia.

    Atlanta-Based Black Entrepreneurs Awarded Millions From Google

    The distribution of cash awards for Black Founders Fund recipients nationwide will be administered by Goodie Nation, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that facilitates and accelerates social capital opportunities.

    “We are committed to helping Black founders who have been deeply impacted by COVID-19 and who are disproportionately locked out of access to the funding they need to succeed,” says Jewel Burks Solomon, Head of Google for Startups US. “By combining cash awards with Google for Startups mentorship and programming, we hope to help create a more level playing field for these founders, who are building amazing companies and making an impact on their communities.”

    Here Are The Georgia-Based Black Founders Fund Recipients

    • Brown Toy Box
    • Clubba (by Usit Inc.)

    “The Google for Startups Black Founders Fund will have a considerable impact on the growth of Portrait Coffee,” says Aaron Fender, founder of Portrait Coffee, a specialty coffee company leveraging excellent product and hospitality to reimagine Black representation in the industry. “This capital and support comes at a critical time, allowing us to hire more team members and purchase additional manufacturing equipment to support our growing business.”

I’ve met alot of cool people there that end up partying with me the rest of the night. The girl DJ they put in the back room is mad funky, love her.”

    The Georgia Bulldogs begin the 2020 season with some major questions on an uneven playing field in more ways than one. Not only has COVID-19 severely limited the number of games, fans and everything else, but the Dawgs have some holes to fill.

    If you’re looking for a place to watch UGA games, these bars have the big screen TVs and great food you need.

    Last year, Georgia won the SEC East behind strong performances from the signal caller and defense. This year, the competition — an all-SEC affair — will be stiffer.

    Located at Gammon St SE, South Atlanta Park opens at 8 a.m. daily. One Google reviewer said this about South Atlanta Park: “I normally love coming to this park but lately it feels like maintenance has been lacking. This used to be one of my favorite places to come- don’t get me wrong- still is an amazing park. Just wished it was a bit cleaner and up kept.”

    South Bend Park, one of the south side’s signature parks,  is located at 1955 Compton Dr SE Atlanta. Here’s what one Google reviewer said: “The trail is very nice but the park itself is a bit sketchy. A lot of homeless make the covered areas their residence. The playground, and all play areas for that matter, could use a good pressure washing. The baseball field looks nice but no rec sports are offered by this park. There’s no public engagement from the city at this park. Which is unfortunate because our community needs it! Maybe a burger/hot dog day in exchange for the community to come out and clean up the park while meeting the neighbors. Just a thought.”

    Emma Millican Park, located in Capital View Manor neighoborhood just off Metropolitan Parkway in southwest Atlanta, is a relatively small park built for families, picnics and shade tree chillin’.

    Here’s what one Google reviewer said: “Perfect place for a 1 year old grandson to take his grandpa to wear him out so grandpa will sleep well that night. All of it is clean and in great shape. We go several times each week.”

    D.H. Stanton Park has some pretty trails as well as a baseball park. Located at 213 Haygood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30315, Stanton Park is located around some of the oldest neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta.

    One Google reviewer said this: “Wow! Such a nice playground for kids. Splash pad, rubber Hill area, seating, the works! Use Martin Street address when getting directions from MAPS. If you use Haygood address you will end up on a dead end on a tight Street you don’t want to be on! Didn’t give it 5 stars because there is limited shaded area that is subject to being taken over for a birthday party and no off-street parking.”

    I haven’t sat down to think in quite some time. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m thinking and brainstorming, problem solving and draining my brain constantly in typical #momlife fashion…but I haven’t been mindfully thinking. Summer is a season of adventure and activity, of projects and exploring. And this summer was harder because we changed our eating habits and suddenly I was thrown into a world of researching/shopping/cooking/cleaning/repeat. So any chance to be mindful was lost. My best friend and I were chatting over coffee the other day and she asked me a question about my opinion on a current event. And I went blank. I honestly couldn’t come up with my own opinion because I hadn’t sat down to contemplate anything beyond the pile of laundry sitting in front of me. This fall feels ready for change. Ready for me to carve out time to process. Ready for me to be intentional with so many parts of my life that are on autopilot. Breathe.

    Avery Park, where the Gilbert House is located, sits on a civil war site that has been turned into a tourist gathering spot in southwest Atlanta.

    “The Gilbert house is a historical Civil War Revenant one of the few homes surviving the burning of Atlanta the house was saved by local who put the fire out years later in the mid-60s the house was restored and now acts as a spool the grounds are very attractive and large lots of shade trees and the home itself is very handsome,” one Google reviewer said. “Excellent artifact from the 1800s in the Civil War Gilbert house if you’d like to see a piece of History.”

    Howell Park is one of the best parks in Atlanta’s West End area. Located at 983 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd SW, Howell Park is a great place to get some fresh air or read a book.

    Here’s what one Google reviewer said: “This park needs a facelift…. Things are slowly being added to improve the serviceability of the park but the city should do more to push the junkies and the drunks that frequent the park somewhere else.”

    “Nice park,” one reviewer said. “Well maintained. Upgraded pool. Not very busy. Nice gazebo for parties and reunions. Surrounding areas is a little questionable.”

    Cabbagetown Park is a major green space in its namesake neighborhood. While it’s not a large park, it packs a punch with a  children’s playground, sculptures and plenty of room to run around.

    “Cool neighborhood park,” one reviewer said. “Perfect for a quiet afternoon of reading or chilling with kids/dogs. The sitting area under the big tree is very shaded for those hot days. Walk over to Sweet Cheats for coffee and something sweet.”

    Situated on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, Maddox Park is a hot location due to its inclusion in the Beltline designs. Want easy access? Maddox Park is conveniently located across from the Bankhead MARTA Station.

    Here’s what one reviewer said: “With the train station being literally at the park, the industrial ambiance is quite relaxing, if you ask me. The Marta train station is located across the street. Thankfully, a pavilion is close in distance to cool off at & is perfect for hosting parties. The basketball court is gated and filled with great street players. There is also a gated pool with a kiddie umbrella water area. The only thing I dislike is the lack of parking spaces in front of the parks community building.”

    Yebo Beach Haus Opens In New Atlanta Location

    2 Min Read

    Local restaurateur and native South African Justin Anthony just keeps the culinary hits coming. South African-insired eatery Yebo Beach Haus opens Tuesday, September 22, 2020 after moving to a new Atlanta location.

    Yebo Beach Haus, which comes to us from True Story Brands hospitality group, will serve food, wine and spirits centered in South African’s rich cuisine.

    What’s On The Menu At Yebo Beach Haus?

    Although there’s plenty of authentic South African flavor on the menu at Yebo Beach Haus, the offerings are best understood as South African-influenced dishes fused with New American cuisine.

    Yebo Beach Haus menu in Atlanta

    Here are some of the dishes you can expect to find on the Yebo Beach Haus menu:

    Whole Branzino served with grilled leeks, lemon and peri-peri sauce; Herb Crusted Lamb Chops with roasted carrots and truffle cauliflower risotto.

    Bone-in Chipotle Ribeye served with cilantro-lime succotash and coconut rice.

    Some old menu favorites you’ll appreciate are the Sesame Grain Bowl, Peri-Peri Prawn Tacos and Halibut served in red butter curry sauce.

    Where Is Yebo Beach Haus?

    Yebo Beach Haus is located at Andrews Square (56 E. Andrews Drive NW). Here’s a map to help you find the restaurant.

    If you’re thinking about going to Yebo Beach Haus, here’s what one Google reviewer says about the restaurant.

    “A very romantic restaurant and great atmosphere. If you go there make sure to try their mushroom soup, amazing, spinach salad, lamb empanadas, steak frites and last but not list crispy brussel sprouts. Cheers Yebo for an amazing delicious food.”
