The Atlanta Beltline is more than just a nice place to take pictures, it is a mosaic of the different neighborhoods, cultures and influences that make the city great.
But not only that, there are some great places to eat along the Beltline, and that’s worth celebrating.

On paper, LSU and Oklahoma were statistically identical, but the game really came down to the two quarterbacks.
“What a tremendous job by everybody,” Orgeron said. “One team, one heartbeat. Everybody in our organization. We got tremendous play by Joe Burrow and have a great coaching staff.”

This past winter, I bought two pair of glasses and some contact lens at the America’s Best on Howell Mill in northwest Atlanta. It was my first time at that location.
What you’re about to read is a review of how my experience was overall and whether I’d recommend it for another person.
If you’ve ever been to an America’s Best, you know how the setup is: Once you walk in, there are frames and glasses on both sides of the store.
America’s Best has several varieties of eyeglasses, but their main categories are:
America’s Best accepts most insurance, including the following:
I made an appointment with the eye doctor and had to sit in the waiting room on the opposite side of the store. But before that happened, I had to pick out some frames.
For my main frames, I was going for some standard black rims that would make me look studious and sophisticated. I settled on some spicy specs of the “Brooke” variety.
The prices ranged from $59.95 to $179.95.
Because i”m cheap, I picked out my first pair for $69.95. For my second pair, which were some tortoise shells, I shelled out $59.95.
Once I had chosen my glasses, it was time to see the doctor. Like I mentioned earlier, this required quite a bit of waiting. For some reason, the eye doctor was backed up so it took her more than 20 minutes to get to me.
Once I was in her chair, my exam was harmless and expedient. She carefully answered all my questions and gave me three pairs of sample contact lenses that she wanted me to try.
Since it’s only been two weeks ago, I will try to make it back into the store to make my final selection on contact lenses.
The America’s Best store at Howell Mill is located at 1801 Howell Mill Rd NW Suite 510, Atlanta, GA 30318. Here’s a map to help you find it.
Overall, I had a great experience at the America’s Best store at Howell Mill. The staff was courteous. The eye doctor was professional and the frames were plentiful.
Would I go back? Absolutely, in fact I already have a follow-up appointment to get my permanent contact lenses. I also would recommend anyone who is looking for an eyeglass store in Atlanta to give America’s Best a try.
If you’re interested in other eyeglass stores in Atlanta, here are the best ones.
Along with the wonderful things to eat and do in Atlanta, there are also so awesome places to shop.

Eddie Murphy returned to host Saturday Night Live for the first time in 35 years and he killed it. Eddie Murphy brought a certain riskiness and edge we’ve come to know about SNL back to the show.
One of those particular moments happened during his Mr. Rogers skit, which he brought back along with some timely updates.
This time Mr. Rogers does an explainer on gentrification and even racism, all tongue in cheek of course. The biggest laugh, though, came when it mentioned Atlanta.
Check out this clip… specially, 1:00 the mark.

If you frequently ride a Lime scooter in parts of Atlanta, a new subscription may make it cheaper for you. The electric scooter company recently debuted LimePass, a weekly subscription service.
The way LimePass works is that it waives the unlock fee on the company’s scooters. The same goes for its bikes.
The subscription services is available in select markets, including Atlanta, but is expected to be rolled out across a wider area in 2020.
“We know that more than 50% of our riders worldwide trust Lime for their commutes and personal daily trips around the city,” Kevin Shi, Product Manager at Lime was quoted as saying. “With our new LimePass service, we’re proud to offer them a more cost-efficient way to get around town and manage their busy schedules.”
Prices for LimePass will vary depending on the city, but in Atlanta, it’s $4.99.
To be clear, users will still have to pay for their rides, but the unlock fee will be done away with. If you ride LimePass every day for a week, it should be worth your money.
