  • Phillies beat Braves

    Braves Eliminated By Phillies in MLB Playoffs

    2 Min Read

    The Atlanta Braves ran into a buzzsaw in the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2023 playoffs. Atlanta dropped the first two games but eked out a win in Game 3.
    For Game 4, the carnage continued as Philadelphia put together yet another lopsided win for the Phillies, which hit multiple home runs in their victories.

    Philly big hitters Bryce Harper and NIck Castellanos hit two homers each in the dominant win over Atlanta, which puts them one win away from the NLCS.

    Braves Eliminated From the Postseason

    This was supposed to be the year that the Braves’ big bats broke through. Not on Wednesday night. It was Harper who stole the show on this night.

    https://x.com/Phillies/status/1712241005649371330?s=20

    After one of the homers, Harper gave Orlando Arcia a long stare, purportedly for the shortstop’s remarks about the first baseman’s error in the previous game. There was no mistake by Harper in this game, where he loomed large for the Braves bullpen.

    The Phillies are now looking to close out the Braves on Thursday night.

    Final Word

    The Braves have been surging through the 2023 campaign and deservingly so, the team has nothing short of title hopes. To no one’s surprise, a large part of the season hinges on the healthy arm of pitcher Ronald Acuña and the bullpen.

    The Braves are just one of many Atlanta teams that you can support. The Falcons and Hawks could really appreciate your help.

    When it comes to sports and exercise, you should always make time. That’s why AtlantaFi.com wants to help you with your journey. Check out how to make a home gym  for cheap and even lose pounds in a hurry.

    Why Atlanta is a Sports Fan’s Paradise – Exploring the Falcons, Braves, and Hawks

    5 Min Read

    Atlanta, Georgia, is not only a bustling metropolis known for its rich history, vibrant culture,
    incredible eateries, and Southern hospitality. It is also a haven for sports enthusiasts.

    All sports roads in the Southeast run through Atlanta, the site of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

    Whether you are a die-hard baseball, basketball, or football fan, Atlanta has something to
    offer you. With teams in the MLB, NBA, and NFL, Atlanta is a proverbial hotbed of sporting
    greatness, so if you find yourself in The Big Peach, why not take in the excitement of a
    game?

    Soaring High With the Atlanta Falcons

    The Atlanta Falcons are synonymous with thrilling touchdowns and nail-biting fourth
    quarters in the National Football League (NFL).

    The team plays out of the state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The stadium is worth visiting the Falcons on its own thanks to its iconic retractable roof, breathtaking views, comfortable seating, and an array of culinary delights. The Falcons have adopted a Fan First pricing initiative, meaning concessions are
    affordable; you won’t break the back watching the Falcons in action.

    Although the Falcons have never won the Super Bowl, they have reached the NFL’s most prestigious game twice, last doing so in 2016.

    The current NFL season seems to favor the underdogs and Super Bowl outsiders; take a look at the Miami Dolphins’ epic start to the campaign to see that. With that in mind, Falcons and Dolphins fans are confident good times lay ahead, with sports betting Florida and Georgia natives putting their money where their mouths are and backing their team for Super Bowl glory.

    The Falcons reached their first Super Bowl in 1998 after enjoying a 14-2 season. They took
    on the Denver Broncos at Super Bowl XXXIII, to whom they lost 19-34.

    Falcons fans waited another 18 years before seeing their team navigate its way to the Super Bowl. Again, they fell at the final hurdle, losing 28-34 in overtime to the New England Patriots.

    Love Baseball? You’ll Love the Atlanta Braves

    Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves

    Baseball fans simply have to pay a visit to Truist Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves of
    Major League Baseball (MLB). Truist Park is more than a stadium.

    As you approach the ballpark, you will notice Battery Atlanta, a lively entertainment district surrounding Truist Park. It is the perfect place to grab a pre-game meal, have a few beers with fellow Braves
    fans, or participate in some retail therapy before heading to the game.

    The Braves are one of the oldest baseball teams in America. Established in 1871, the
    Braves were initially based in Boston, Massachusetts, before moving to Milwaukee,
    Wisconsin, after 81 years in Boston. They then moved to Atlanta in 1966 and have called
    Atlanta home ever since.

    The move to Atlanta did not bring instant success. Indeed, it was not until 1991 that the
    Braves began showing the baseball world their capabilities. Between 1991 and 2005, the Braves won an unprecedented 14 consecutive divisional titles and made eight consecutive National League Championship Series appearances, an MLB record.

    The year 1995 saw the Braves win their first World Series as a team from Atlanta, beating the
    Cleveland Indians 4-2. They reached the World Series again the following year but lost 4-2
    to the New York Yankees. It was the Yankees that halted the Braves in their tracks in 1999.

    Fast forward to 2021, and the Braves found themselves competing for the famous
    Commissioner’s Trophy of the World Series for the first time in 22 years. A 4-2 victory over
    the Houston Astros saw the Braves become world champions for the fourth time.

    Although they fell short against the Phillies this year, the current Braves team is feared and respected in equal measure. Be sure to head to a Braves game next season if you have the opportunity because they are an elite-level baseball team.

    The Atlanta Hawks Are Balling Out of Control

    Atlanta has had a National Basketball Association (NBA) team since the St. Louis Hawks
    relocated in 1965.

    Although Atlanta Hawks fans are still awaiting their first NBA Finals appearance, they have witnessed some fantastic teams take to the court over the years.

    In the mid-1980s, the Hawks were one of the best teams competing in the NBA, winning at
    least 50 games each season between 1985 and 1989. Although the Hawks have not
    enjoyed the same level of success since there have been some glimpses of brilliance, and
    those performances give loyal Hawks fans hope that they will see their beloved team
    compete on basketball’s biggest stage.

    Since 1999, the Hawks have played their home games at the State Farm Arena, formerly the
    Philips Arena. Hawks fans call the home court the “Highlight Factory,” with the passionate
    fans calling themselves “True to Atlanta.” Those fans create an electric atmosphere that is
    second to none.

    The 2014-15 Hawks were awe-inspiring, finishing with a 60-22 record and winning the
    Southeast divisional and Eastern Conference titles. They navigated their way to the
    conference finals and were one game away from the NBA Finals, but they lost 4-0 in the
    best-of-seven game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

    Last season saw the Hawks finish 41-41, giving fans hope of a successful 2023-24
    campaign, which tips off on October 25.

    A Sports Fan’s Paradise

    Atlanta may not be the first city that your mind conjures up when considering a sports-filled
    vacation; most people think of New York City or Los Angeles. However, head to Atlanta, and you soon discover that being a sports fan is not just a hobby for Atlantans; it is a way of
    life. It does not matter if you want to cheer for the Braves, Hawks, or Falcons.

  • Pur Zen Mimosa Wine Bar Opening In Peoplestown

    2 Min Read

    Pur Zen Mimosa Wine Bar, a local establishment that specializes in artisan breads, tapas and brunch, is set to open at the new Terminal South development on Atlanta’s south side.

    This would be the wine bar’s second location in metro Atlanta. The original Pur Zen Mimosa Wine Bar opened in March 2022 in McDonough at 1931 Jonesboro Rd.

    Located in the Peoplestown neighborhood, Terminal South is the second of two Beltline-adjacent warehouse complexes on the sprawling property just off Ridge Avenue and Hank Aaron Boulevard. The other is Switchman Hall, a food hall.

    Terminal South, which is being built by developer Melissa  Ahrendt, has been eyeing a summer 2024 opening.

    Pur Zen Mimosa Wine Bar will feature signature menu items like oxtails and grits, cedar plank salmon, surf ‘n turf sliders, New York strip steak, Brussels sprouts, garlic sautéed spinach and an assortment of charcuterie boards and more.

    “At PÜR Zen, we pride ourselves on offering a “pure” experience, as our name suggests,” it says on its website. “Our welcoming atmosphere invites visitors to unwind, whether they’re seeking a leisurely afternoon drink, engaging conversation, or a mouthwatering meat and cheese board to share among friends.”

    Terminal South is designed to be the last stop on

    MARTA’s inaugural Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line.

    The project features the adaptive reuse of two former warehouse structures, introducing approximately 45,625 SF of mixed-use space that will include a collection of restaurants at the planned food hall, Switchman Hall.

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

    No End In Sight For Hollywood Actors Strike?

    3 Min Read

    Hollywood studios and writers seemed like they were as close as they ever were to a deal that might end the actors strike, but talks have broken down again.

    Studios Walk Away From Actors Bargaining Table

    SAG-AFTRA, the actors union, released a statement late Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, saying that the movie studios had walked away from the table.

    “It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer,” the union says in a new statement. “We have negotiated with them in food faith, despite the fact that last week they presented an offer that was, shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began.”

    Major Sticking Points

    The actors union and the studios continue to pick apart language on a few major concerns for both parties. Here are some major sticking points that need to be worked out.

    Streaming Revenue Sharing

    One of the major snags is streaming revenue, which the studios have been trying to keep all their own.

    SAG-AFTRA’s streaming revenue proposal would cost the studios 57 cents per subscriber each year. Even as many studios are increasing the prices of their subscription plans, they have rejected the guild’s proposal.

    AI Likeness

    Another point that has increasingly become a provocative impasse is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) pertaining to an actor’s likeness.

    The studios have refused to protect actors from being replaced by AI and demand use of a performer’s digital likeness for an entire cinematic universe or franchise.

    It was just three weeks ago that the heads of the major studios, including Bob Iger of Disney, David Zaslav of Warner Bros. Discovery, Donna Langley of NBCUniversal, and Ted Sarandos of Netflix, gathered in Sherman Oaks to hammer out the details on a new accord that would end the picket lines.

    On the other end of the bargaining table are representatives of the major unions including the Writers Guild of America.

    The strike, which has crippled moviemaking in Hollywood and ground major productions in Atlanta to a halt, has been going on for more than four months.

    Final Scene

    Are you interested in becoming an actor in Atlanta? You’re in the right place!   

    With more than 900 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.

    There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.

    Lenox Square Mall: Where To Shop And Eat

    3 Min Read

    If you want to go shopping in Atlanta, the place to visit is Lenox Square, also known as Lenox mall.

    Located in the heart of Buckhead, Lenox Square is one of the best malls in Atlanta. It also offers a look at some of Atlanta’s priciest retail shops and department stores.

    Aside from being a happening place, have you ever wondered what’s recently opened at Lenox Square and more? This article explores Lenox Square, it’s history, present and future.

    What’s The History Of Lenox Square?

    The earliest recollections of the acreage that would become Lenox Square is that it was owned by Mary Gromet, who acquired it in the 1820s through one of the land lotteries that the state administered by taking it from the Native Americans and distributing it to the area’s white citizens.

    The land was then bought by John Simpkins, a farmer who grew corn and cotton.. He passed away in 1912, according to Buckhead.net.

    After that, John Ottley, the president of Atlanta’s First National Bank,, turned the parcel into his country estate and family home. It was the Ottley family that popularized Buckhead as an abode for the rich.

    Soon, the Ottley family sold “Joyeuse,” the name of their country estate, and it fell into the hands of city developers.

    Businessman Edward Noble was tasked with building a suburban mall several miles from downtown, which was unheard of then.

    Lenox Square opened its doors on August 3, 1959 during the era when going to the local department store was an event. Anchored by Rich’s and Davison’s, Lenox Square was the largest mall in the Southeast at the time.

    What’s New At Lenox Square?

    In 2022, Lenox Square saw more than 20 openings of retail shops and restaurants. Here’s a list from MetroAtlantaCEO.com. , which also says that the Louis Vuitton store is currently under renovation with a planned reopening set for 2023. Retailers marked with an asterisk (*) are the first and only locations in Georgia.

    Where Is Lenox Square Located?

    Lenox Square is located at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox roads at 3393 Peachtree Road Atlanta, GA 30326. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    Final Word

    Lenox Square is an oasis and has been for many decades now.

    Iconic Krispy Kreme Reopens In Midtown Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    On the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023, Midtown Atlanta got a little bit sweeter. Actually, a whole lot sweeter. That’s because it’s most iconic food spot, Krispy Kreme, reopened after being burnt down in a fire.

    The doughnut shop, owned by sports legend and businessman Shaquille O’Neal, opened to a crowd of fans and customers at 6 a.m.

    In early 2023, Shaq announced that the historic Midtown spot would open in the summertime, but that didn’t materialize. Still, the customers and fans were excited to get its Midtown landmark back.

    “We’re bouncing back better than I even imagined,” O’Neal said on social media. “I can’t wait to turn on the Hot Light. It’s gonna light up the whole neighborhood. Get ready, Ponce!”

    O’Neal released an artist’s rendering of what the rebuilt Krispy Kreme would look like, showing a sleep design with its signature white brick exterior.

    Shaq bought an interest in the Krispy Kreme in 2016. It was set on fire the following year due to arson.

    What Are The Hours Of The Ponce Krispy Kreme?

    The Krispy Kreme on Ponce is open for Delivery the following hours: 6:30 AM–9:30 PM

    The Krispy Kreme on Ponce Drivethru open the following hours: 24 hours.

    When Did The Ponce Krispy Kreme Open?

    The Krispy Kreme on Ponce de Leon Avenue opened in 1965, back when Atlanta has the heart and soul of the civil rights movement and social change was afoot across the country.

    Krispy Kreme, then a young and scrappy company, only had a handful of locations in the Southeast. After only a few years, the Atlanta location became a flagship of sorts.

    In February 2021, a fire swept through the establishment and temporarily closed it. Another fire — this one surely an arson — struck a few months later, shutting the place down for more than a couple years.

    Final Taste

    Midtown Atlanta is full of cool places to eat, but there’s more. If you’re down for a culinary tour of Atlanta, you can start downtown, and get it crackin’ in Buckhead. Check out the newest Atlanta restaurants, beautiful parks and unexplored spots you’ve only heard about. AtlantaFi your experience!

    A Time Was Had at The Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic (Photos)

    4 Min Read

    On October 8, an impressive gathering of Atlanta’s leading influencers converged on a multi-million-dollar estate at the The 6th Annual Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic.

    This lavish event, conceived by renowned menswear designer Miguel Wilson, and generously sponsored by Bentley Atlanta and The Corbett Group, serves as a fundraiser for the Ride to the Olympics Foundation.

    City’s Best Show Out At Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic

    Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens attended this year’s event as a distinguished guest of honor. 

    “This year was the best year we’ve had by far,” Wilson said. “We put a lot of work into this event every year, so to see the turnout, and the response blows me away each and every time. One of the things that I am most proud of with the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic is that we work hard to give one of the most unique and luxurious experiences centered around fashion and polo. We also pride ourselves in treating each ticketholder like they’re a VIP.”

    The guest list featured a constellation of notable figures, including Young Jeezy (rapper), Cynthia Bailey (Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta), Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson (HGTV’s Married To Real Estate), actress Demetria McKinney (Tyler Perry’s House of Payne), actor Lamman Rucker (OWN’s Greenleaf),  actress Cocoa Brown (Tyler Perry’s For Better or For Worse), and Pastor Jamal Bryant (New Birth Missionary Baptist Church).

    In the past six years, the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic grew from a one-day event to an entire weekend, which started on Friday, October 6, this year. For ticketholders, the weekend kicked off with a welcome party at the Starling Hotel. The next day, Saturday, Oct. 7, was the Polo & Pumps Day party at the Starling Hotel and the Cocktails & Cigars Under the Stars rooftop party at the Thompson Hotel. However, the big event that garnered the most attention and attendance was the signature Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic event on Sunday.

    During Sunday’s Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic guests enjoyed a polo match that consisted of some of the top polo players from across the country. Wilson and his wife Chancey Wilson also participated in the match, riding for the same team. 

    Afterward, guests were privy to a fashion show featuring emerging and established designers with celebrity participants that included Mimi Faust (VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta), Martell Holt (OWN’s Love & Marriage Huntsville) Ralph Pittman (Real Housewives of Atlanta), actor Michael Bolwaire(BET’s All The Queen’s Men) Damian Hall (of Guy), former NFL Play JaMarcus Russell, who all walked in the event’s fashion show. 

    R&B singers Q Parker and Lil G (of SILK) performed during the event, while. actor Palmer Williams (Tyler Perry’s House of Payne) served as emcee of this year’s fashion show. 

    The most important aspect of this event is that its main reason for existence is to serve as a fundraiser for the Ride to the Olympics Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Miguel Wilson back in 2018. The organization works to provide underprivileged youth with opportunities to participate in equestrian sports. 

    Since its creation, the organization’s biggest accomplishment was helping to create the Morehouse Polo Club, the first-ever polo team at a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Wilson served as a co-founder of the Morehouse Polo Club and was honored for his efforts by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and the State of Georgia. 

    Ride to the Olympics Foundation is now focusing on creating multiple youth polo teams. 

    “I’d like to thank Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens for participating in this year’s Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic. His support means a lot to me, in addition to the support that we received this year from Fulton County Arts & Culture (FACE). I’d also like to thank our longtime sponsors Bentley Atlanta and The Corbett Group; as well as all of our vendors who help make this event possible,” Wilson said.
