The waitresses were really nice and they helped each other out, which was good to see. I would repeat a trip there, maybe minus the oysters.”Oceanaire Seafood Room

A delegation of business leaders and government representatives recently led a week-long economic development tour to South Korea with plans to ignite international investment in Fulton County.
Develop Fulton, a major collaborator behind the overseas initiative, aims to position the county, particularly South Fulton, as the epicenter of unlocked business expansion opportunities in the United States.
Aside from South Fulton, Georgia as a whole has become known as a premier location in the nation for business and economic development.
“Fulton County is the nucleus of smart growth that represents an area uniquely positioned to attract major attention for future business development opportunities,” said Georgia State Senator and Develop Fulton Chairman Brandon Beach. “This mission-driven trip to Korea taps into growing and emerging industries poised to call Fulton County home.”
During the multi-city business development trip from April 20-27, the Fulton delegation engaged in a series of insightful meetings and tours with elected officials and leading business executives across various industries, including logistics, artificial intelligence, biomedical, advanced manufacturing, electric vehicles, and robotics. With a goal to foster strong relationships and showcase the county as a hub for strong business prospects, leaders emphasized Fulton’s strategic positioning, diverse industry landscape, skilled workforce, and exceptional quality of life.
“As ambassadors and economic development evangelists for Fulton County, we remain laser-focused on leveraging every opportunity to highlight the countless ways Fulton remains the gateway for growth in our region,” said Kwanza Hall, Develop Fulton Vice Chairman. “We’re putting a special focus on highlighting the untapped opportunities that abound in South Fulton. By establishing, building, and nurturing these global business relationships, our hope is for these efforts to yield transformative and historic investments across our county and unlock limitless business opportunities.”
Championed by Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts, the delegation also included College Park City Councilman Joseph Carn, East Point City Councilman Joshua Butler, and Director of Economic Development for the City of Fairburn Sylvia Abernathy. Pitts shared that the trip to Korea marked an opportunity to forge global connections and explore new possibilities, with the goal of collaboratively shaping a prosperous future for Fulton County.
“Fulton County is the catalyst for growth and economic prosperity across this region and the state of Georgia, and it is incumbent upon us to seek new business prospects, domestically and internationally,” said Pitts. “We must remain intentional in our efforts to build on the undeniable momentum that has attracted major corporations and industries to Fulton County. The signing of our joint MOU marks a milestone in this international business effort.”

East Point continues to be a place with plentiful things to do, see and eat! If you like that part of town, don’t sleep on College Park either.

Author and Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey CEO Fawn Weaver is coming to Atlanta as part of her Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered book tour.
The tour will share historical accounts from her book Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest (on sale: June 18).
The book tour is set to stop in Atlanta on Friday, June 21. Keep reading to find the time and place.
Those who attend can look forward to an extraordinary evening of whiskey exploration and open, unfiltered discussion, featuring Weaver and Victoria Eady Butler, four-time Master Blender of the Year.
As a whiskey drinker myself, I am looking forward to this event!
What’s On Tap At the Whiskey & Love Tour
Attendees will enjoy exclusive tastings of the finest Uncle Nearest single barrels and master blends, meticulously selected by Victoria for this tour. Immerse yourself in a night of authentic, unrestricted conversation with Fawn Weaver as she delves into the legacy of Nearest Green, the captivating journey of building the Uncle Nearest brand, the vision for the future of America’s first spirits empire to be built by a woman or person of color, and her personal story from homeless teen to triumph.
“This tour redefines the book event experience. I am known for my transparency; I embrace spontaneity and genuine interactions,” Fawn said in a press release. “Here, the audience leads—every question is unfiltered, straight from our guests. In between discussions, guests will have the ability to savor exquisite whiskeys under the guidance of one of the industry’s most respected Master Blenders.”
By the book:
What Is Love & Whiskey About?
Love & Whiskey chronicles Weaver’s odyssey, beginning with her discovery of Nearest Green through a piece in The New York Times. Green, a formerly enslaved Black man and skilled whiskey maker, served as the world’s first known African American master distiller and the original master distiller for Jack Daniel.
Weaver embarked on a quest, assembling a team of over 30 historians, archivists, genealogists, and researchers to unearth the true story of Nearest Green. She interviewed and spent time with over 100 of Nearest Green’s descendants, as well as numerous descendants of Jack Daniel, amassing thousands of documents from more than six states.
This monumental research effort led to the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, which has grown into a billion-dollar enterprise and stands as the top-selling Black-founded and owned spirit brand of all time.
Reminiscent of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Love & Whiskey masterfully intertwines the lives of Nearest Green, Jack Daniel, and their descendants from 1849 to the present, alongside Weaver’s own trailblazing path to establish the first spirit conglomerate founded by a woman or person of color.
Record-Shattering Launch: Upon its pre-order announcement, Love & Whiskey soared to No. 17 in the Top 100 books on Amazon, America’s largest book retailer. The book impressively held the No. 1 spot in seven out of its eight categories throughout the week, including Women’s Memoirs, U.S. State and Local History, Culinary Biographies & Memoirs, and Black & African American Biographies. It was also heralded as the No. 1 “Mover & Shaker” on Amazon. Additionally, the earliest pre-orders will receive an extra special touch—a copy signed by Fawn Weaver during her record-setting Guinness World Record attempt for the Longest Marathon Book Signing, where she autographed 25,005 books in 24 hours and 35 minutes.
Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered tour dates
The first of 20 Love & Whiskey: Unfiltered tour dates and locations will be:

Expect Sellouts: Tickets for all events can be purchased here. The Tampa event is already sold out, with others expected to sell out quickly. Stay tuned for additional dates.
