  • Tamika Newhouse, founder of Black Writers Weekend in Atlanta

    Founder Of Black Writers Weekend: ‘We Must Celebrate Ourselves’

    4 Min Read

    Tamika Newhouse says even as a preteen she knew her destiny. She was going to be a famous author. She was 12. “I have always told stories through the written word since I learned how to write,” she said.

    Once she was published at the age of 20, she began to look for ways to generate excitement around her work by creating event-filled book signings.

    Meet Tamika Newhouse: Founder Of Black Writers Weekend

    “There’s where my concepts of books, music, food, and fun came into play,” she says. “No one was doing it like that then so I began to brand them and invite other authors in a collaborative effort to bring more readers in. I eventually utilized my book club to create an award show for underrepresented authors and it expanded into a three-day festival.”

    That festival is Black Writers Weekend, a refreshing event to celebrate black writers in film and publishing. The event takes place this year from July 31-August 2, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.

    “Experience the only weekend where you’ll meet your favorite author, screenwriter, podcaster, artists, and film & television stars,” she says.

    In addition to getting the opportunity to network with like-minded literary minds, you can also expect:

    • Meet up with friends at one of the Lit crawl locations which boast several authors in collaborative book signings.
    • Intimate book chats with literary rock stars.
    • Vibrant panels featuring Black male authors and screenwriters.
    • Indulge in rooftop parties and socials so that readers can party with their favorite writers.
    • Movie screenings, masterclasses, parties and more!

    “Black Writers Weekend was explicitly created for creatives and culture lovers,” she says.

    Newhouse says the event, now in its 14th year, is just one of many concepts she’s devised to showcase her work as well as that of other black authors.

    “Today, I have elevated well over 10,000 writers and worked with every major studio and publishing house you can think of all because of my unique approach to book signings. It has been a blessing to bless others,” she says.

    Although school systems are under duress these days from multiple issues,

    Newhouse says reading should be especially important to the black diaspora, which has historically been prevented from educating their descendants.

    “Think about our history, how our ancestors could not talk in their language, and they were forbidden to learn and to write,” she says. “Our bloodline, our culture, our sounds, our stories, our looks, and our energies have influenced every culture on this planet, and we must celebrate ourselves by telling our stories through written words, music, movies, and fashion.”

    As a black writer, Newhouse says it’s important for scribes to make space for themselves, especially in a world where the history of African people and their descendants has been deliberately hidden.

    “It is important to me because we are the mecca of everything, and I refuse to allow them to silence us,” she says. “So, I will be the platform that helps make us loud and proud! Go Black King! Go Black Queen!”

    Black Authors You Should Read

    Newhouse says if you want to check out some of the best authors in the diaspora, here are her top picks. We’ve included some notable works of each author.

    When Is Black Writers Weekend?

    Black Writers Weekend is set for July 31-August 2, 2025. Learn more here.

    9 of the Oldest Atlanta Restaurants That Have Served Customers Faithfully

    4 Min Read

    It’s no small thing to find a restaurant whose kitchen has been continuously open for decades. Atlanta has a handful of eateries that have been serving customers since the old days.

    Atlanta has a rich culinary history with several restaurants that have stood the test of time. They’ve kept their doors open through thick and thin, and you should consider supporting them.

    What Atlanta Restaurants Have Been Open the Longest?

    In this article, we’ll fully cover the Atlanta restaurants that have been open the longest and when they started.

    Atkins Park Restaurant and Bar (1922)

    794 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30306

    Atkins Park Restaurant and Bar

    Atkins Park Restaurant, located in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood of Atlanta, holds the distinction of being Atlanta’s oldest continuously-licensed tavern, first serving customers as a deli in 1922. It later evolved into a pub and, since 1983, has been owned and operated by Warren Bruno and is now managed by his widow, Sandra Spoon, and other staff.

    The Colonnade (1927)

    1879 Cheshire Bridge Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 |  (404) 874-5642

    Colonade restaurant oldest in Atlanta

    Located on Cheshire Bridge Road, this restaurant has been serving Southern comfort food since 1927, making it Atlanta’s second-oldest restaurant. One of the best Southern food spots in Atlanta, the Colonnade is known for its fried chicken, salmon croquettes, and large portions. It’s a beloved institution with a loyal following. Recently, it expanded to seven-day operations in February 2025.

    The Varsity (1928)

    61 North Avenue NW, Atlanta, GA 30308 | (404) 881-1706

    The Varsity is one of Atlanta's oldest restaurants.

    An iconic Atlanta landmark, The Varsity on North Avenue has been dishing out chili dogs, onion rings, and frosted oranges since 1928. As the world’s largest drive-in, it’s a cultural staple, accommodating 600 cars and over 800 people, especially popular during Georgia Tech game days.

    The Majestic Diner (1929)

    1031 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306 | (404) 875-0276

    The Majestic Diner (1929)

    Situated in Poncey-Highland, this diner has been serving “food that pleases” since 1929. Famous for its late-night appeal and classic diner fare like burgers, pancakes, and omelets, it’s a go-to spot next to the Plaza Theater. It currently operates until 2:30 p.m. daily.

    Mary Mac’s Tea Room (1945)

    224 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 | (404) 876-1800

    Mary Mac's Tea Room is one of Atlanta's oldest restaurants.

    Opened on Ponce de Leon Avenue in 1945, Mary Mac’s is the last of Atlanta’s original 16 tea rooms and a standard-bearer for Southern cooking. Known for fried chicken, sweet tea, and complimentary pot likker, it’s a favorite among politicians, students, and celebrities.

    Busy Bee Cafe (1947)

    810 MLK Jr. Dr SW, Atlanta, GA 30314 | 404-525-9212

    Busy Bee is one of Atlanta's oldest restaurants.

    This West End soul food institution, opened by Lucy Jackson in 1947, is renowned for its fried chicken and Southern sides. A historic meeting place for civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., it won a 2022 James Beard America’s Classics Award.

    Matthews Cafeteria (1955)

    2299 Main St, Tucker, GA 30084 | (770) 939-2357

    Matthew's Cafeteria in Tucker, Georgia is one of metro Atlanta's oldest restaurants.

    Located in Downtown Tucker, Matthews has been serving Southern cafeteria-style food since 1955. Operated by the Matthews family, it offers daily specials like meat and veggies, maintaining its traditional charm.

    The Silver Skillet (1956)

    200 14th St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 |  (404) 874-1388

    The Silver Skillet is one of Atlanta's oldest restaurants.

    A Midtown staple since 1956, this no-frills diner is known for its Southern breakfast, attracting college students, office workers, and construction crews. Its classic menu includes biscuits, eggs, and other comfort foods.

    Paschal’s Restaurant (1959)

    180 Northside Dr SW, Atlanta, GA 30313 | (404) 835-0833

    Paschal's restaurant history in Atlanta.

    In 1959, Paschal’s Restaurant & Coffee Shop opened in its new location at 830 Hunter Street in Atlanta. On its way to becoming one of the best soul food restaurants in Atlanta, the eatery would go down in history as one of the war rooms used by leaders of the civil rights movement. And the food — made with love and stacked with flavor — was breaking down barriers as well.

    Final Word

      While The Plaza Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Thomasville, Georgia, established in 1916, holds the title of the state’s oldest restaurant, it is located 250 miles south of Atlanta and thus didn’t make the cut. With that being said, Georgia’s largest city sees eateries opening nearly every week. Don’t believe me? Check out our New Atlanta Restaurant Guide.

      And before you go, please know: Memphis has its barbecue. New Orleans has its gumbo. Atlanta has its lemon pepper wings and much, much more. The largest city in Georgia’s food festivals and culinary events set the tone for the entire Southeast.

    1. How to list your home for a film location in Atlanta, Georgia

      How To Rent Out Your Home to a Film Company

      4 Min Read

      An easy way to make money in Atlanta is to put your home on the film location list. Not only is it passive income, but you can make that “movie money” over a week’s time or more.

      Living in a large city like Atlanta, which is a movie mecca, makes it easy to earn cash for renting out your home.

      This article will tell you what to know about renting out your place to a movie or TV production company. Netflix, Amazon and other studios are actively looking for filming locations.

      How To List Your Home As A Film Location In Georgia

      Big stars like Will Smith, Tom Cruise or Melissa McCarthy could be filming scenes in your living room. How cool is that?

      Let’s go through the steps to get you set up. By the way, you can also list your business or property as a film location too. The most important thing is that you must be the owner and the home can’t be for sale.

      1. Take Photos Of Your Home

      The site requires that you show photos of your home from the street as well as the exterior and interior. Interior shots are mandatory, so don’t skimp on that.

      These Are The Photo Requirements

      • Photo size: 150 dpi or higher
      • Recommended size: Between 1MB – 3 MB (maximum file size: 10MB)
      • 1680 X 1054 resolution (or higher) for large size web browsing
      • Physical photo size: 8.5 x 11 inches
      • Unique features of your home; cool amenities
      • Also include any assets on the property, such as a barn or pool
      • Shoot multiple photos that are wide and high-quality (from a camera phone is OK)

      These Photos Won’t Be Accepted

      • Those that are dark, narrow and low-resolution
      • Any screenshots from videos
      • No brochure photos
      • None taken in inclement weather

      2. Submit Your Photos Online

      Next, you just have to upload your photos online. The site that you’ll need to do it on is Ga.Reel-Scout.com.

      From there, your photos are reviewed to see if it meets all the requirements. If approved, your images are added to their library.

      3. How You’re Notified

      Once your photos are approved, they are included in a filming location database available to location professionals around the world looking for the perfect location for their projects.

      If someone wants to use your location, you will be contacted by the Georgia Film Office to set up times and availability based on the production’s filming schedule.

      4. Name Your Location Fee

      From there, it’s between you and the specific film company to negotiate a rate to use your property.

      The Georgia Film Office is not involved in the transaction. The way it works is that the production will make a specific offer based on their budget and shooting requirements.

      As a warning, never give your bank account number to someone who wants to wire you money.

      Final Thought

      Making money from your home is one thing. Making money on your home is another. You can do it by renting your house out for a major movie or TV production.

      You can make some good money by listing your home for Georgia’s movies and TV shows. If you’re looking for a way to make extra money, renting  your home out to a major movie production is a great way to do it.

      If you don’t want to list your home for a particular type of film and TV genre, content or budget,, just note it in the “usage restriction” field of the form you fill out.

      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.

      With more than 700 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.

    5. Pinky Cole Hayes to its board of directors and the appointment of Lynne Riley

      Develop Fulton Re-Appoints Entrepreneur Pinky Cole Hayes To Board, Welcomes Lynne Riley

      2 Min Read

      Develop Fulton, the development authority for Fulton County, recently made two major moves for its board. They re-appointed restaurateur and philanthropist Pinky Cole Hayes to its board of directors and appointed Lynne Riley, former Georgia State Treasurer, as a new board member.

      Develop Fulton, formally known as the Development Authority of Fulton County, is an agency focused on promoting economic development and growth within Fulton County, Georgia.

      The Fulton County Board of Commissioners recently approved both appointments, reinforcing the County’s dedication to inclusive leadership and economic progress.

      Pinky Cole Hayes, founder of Slutty Vegan and CEO of the Pinky Cole Foundation, will serve another four-year term. Since joining the board in 2021, she has contributed an entrepreneurial perspective and cultural insight to Develop Fulton’s initiatives.

      “It’s a privilege to continue serving with this remarkable team,” said Cole Hayes. “Develop Fulton shapes the future of business and community in the county, and I’m excited to contribute to its innovative and inclusive vision.”

      Lynne Riley, a distinguished public finance leader, joins the board with extensive experience, having served as President of the Georgia Student Finance Commission, Georgia State Revenue Commissioner, and State Representative for House District 50 (Johns Creek).

      “I’m thrilled to join Develop Fulton and support strategies that foster sustainable growth for Fulton County’s residents and businesses,” said Riley. “I look forward to applying my expertise in financial stewardship and public service during this critical time.”

      Develop Fulton Chairman Kwanza Hall commended both leaders for their unique contributions.

      “Pinky Cole’s innovation and Lynne Riley’s financial and governmental expertise strengthen our mission to advance Fulton County,” said Hall.

      Develop Fulton remains focused on advancing housing, small business growth, workforce development, and equitable community investment.

      Final Word

      Develop Fulton works to draw new businesses and industries to the county by offering incentives, such as tax abatements and bond financing, to encourage investment and job creation. The appointment of Riley and re-appointment of Hayes shows that the board is laser-focused on moving Fulton toward the future.

      Teriyaki Wings

We both ordered the Philly with 5pc wings and fries. The cashier was super sweet ..professional .. kind and very helpful. They were pretty busy but She handled the front counter with ease. Assisting everyone with a smile and positive attitude.. customer service is lacking alot these days so she was very refreshing… They Philly was well seasoned and very delicious… the wings were crispy and saucy like I ordered and like it.. they’re in the business of giving fries away because of the way they’re sure to load you up!!!
