    Organized Noize’s Dungeon Lists On Airbnb In Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    One of the most famous locations in Southern hip-hop history can be yours for the renting. The music production outfit known as Organized Noize’s homebase, the Dungeon, is available for rent on Airbnb.

    What Is The Dungeon In Atlanta?

    The Dungeon is where the hitmaking studio of Organized Noize was located. In the 1990s, the home was the residence of Atlanta producer Rico Wade. In the basement of that home was the Dungeon.

    That’s where hit acts like Outkast, Goodie Mob, and Organized Noize formed the music collective known as the Dungeon Family.

    In a video shared by Outkast member Big Boi, you get to see the interior of the Dungeon.

    Three years ago, Big Boi purchased the property, showing it off on social media. Back then it still had many of the markings from its hey day. 

    But now, the spot has been renovated. Here’s a look inside:

    Organized Noise’s Dungeon is one of many Atlanta homes on the popular platform Airbnb. These homes are getting national attention.

    4 Min Read

    WarnerMedia is a major company hiring out of Atlanta, Georgia as well as New York, New York. if you want to work for the popular company, read on.

    WarnerMedia is a relatively new brand on the entertainment scene. The company took over Turner assets in 2019 after the original brand was sold to AT&T. Since then, the company has focused on solidifying its place in the media landscape. 

    If you’re looking for a job at WarnerMedia in Atlanta, this article will show you how to get hired.

    How To Get A Job At WarnerMedia: What You Need To Know

    WarnerMedia is a company that is basically sectioned into three divisions:  Warner Bros, Turner and Home Box Office.

    I should know. I used to work there for seven years before leaving the company. Before you fill out an online application, you should consider this questions:

    Why Do You Want To Work At WarnerMedia?

    Although that sounds like a great interview question, it’s something you need to consider before you apply.

    If you’re looking for a job or internship at WarnerMedia, the first question you need to ask yourself is why do you want it What is your motivation?

    Do you just want to put a big-name company on your resume, or do you want to make a difference? Getting a job at WarnerMedia can add considerable skills to your development.

    How Do I Apply For A Job At WarnerMedia?

    If you want to apply for a job at WarnerMedia, their employment portal is located online at WarnerMediaCareers.com.

    Take a look at the jobs and don’t forget to filter them based on your interests and experience. Once you find one, upload your job application.

    Once you’ve submitted your application, be on the lookout for an email from the company. The email will be sent to the same address you entered when signing up on WarnerMedia’s career page.

    If someone at the company likes your resume, expect a WarnerMedia recruiter to reach out to you either through email or via phone.

    From there, you’ll get an interview scheduled. If it’s via video, here’s how to ace it.

    Is WarnerMedia A Good Company To Work For?

    WarnerMedia is a relatively good company, but is solidly run due to its inheritance of Turner Broadcasting’s management structure and staff.

    In early 2021, AT&T announced that WarnerMedia would merge with Discovery to become one of the largest media companies in the world.

    Also because of how large the company is, the hiring process can take several weeks or even months. But if they call, it’ll be worth it.

    How Many Employees Does WarnerMedia Have?

    According to 2022 statistics, WarnerMedia currently employs about 25,000 people, with the majority of them working in Atlanta and New York.

    Final Word

    WarnerMedia is just one of many Atlanta companies currently hiring workers.

    It goes without saying that it doesn’t hurt if you happen to know someone who works for the company.

    But if you don’t know anyone, there’s no need to feel like you don’t have a shot. The most important thing is to:

    • Have a resume that stands out
    • Apply for jobs that you’re qualified for
    • Ace the interview process

    Don’t have any connections? Make some by building a network on  LinkedIn. Once you get a connection, quiz them on the company’s strengths and weaknesses,  including what they like about their job.

    Again, Turner has been known to take months to get back to you after you apply for a job. If you don’t hear anything within the first few weeks or months, try to be patient.

    We currently have job articles that show you high-paying jobs, those close to downtown and even side hustles you might like.
     
    If you’re looking to get hired in Atlanta right now, there’s a very real possibility that you can land your dream job.

  • How to find cheap gas in Atlanta

    Why Now Is The Best Time To Fill Up Your Gas Tank

    3 Min Read

    Take a good look at your local gas stations and you’ll see it: Gas prices are rising. And affordable gasoline is getting hard to find not only in your local area, but nationwide.

    As of right now, 24 states have average gas prices that have risen above $4 a gallon, according to AAA. You may wonder what those prices have to do with what’s going on at the pumps in Georgia: This article will tell you that as well as why now is a good time to fuel up.

    Why Are Gas Prices So High In Atlanta Right Now?

    Gas prices are high in Atlanta and other major metropolitan cities currently because of the stresses on the world oil market caused by the war in Ukraine.

    Although it is true that crude oil prices have fallen over the past week or so, gasoline prices usually take several weeks before they follow suit. That means Atlanta motorists are in for more pain at the pump.

    What Affects Gas Prices?

    Factors that affect gas prices include how much the OPEC nations charge for oil. As you know, the OPEC nations are a cartel of nations that set and regulate oil prices around the world. 

    Another thing that affects gas prices is the weather and global crises like COVID-19 and in this case the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

    All of that is why now is a good time to fill up your vehicle with petro. Gas up now so that you won’t be paying higher prices in the near future.

    Where Is Cheap Gas Near You?

    Here’s How You Can Save Money On Gas

    Last Words

    One misconception that may be costing you money is assuming that buying a higher grade of fuel will help your car to run better. That’s not true in every case!

    To find out what kind of gas benefits your car, refer to the owner’s manual. If it says that premium gasoline is recommended, then by all means please use that.

    The truth is that cheap gas may work find for your vehicle. The type of gas you use will affect your engine’s performance and fuel economy, so always follow what’s written in your car’s manual.

  • AtlantaFx Seasons 3 and 4 to end

    New Trailer Alert: AtlantaFX Season 3 (VIDEO)

    4 Min Read

    We’ve been blessed with another trailer from the team at Atlanta FX as the show readies its return to the screen.

    When Does Atlanta Season 3 Come Out?

    The show’s third season premieres on March 24, 2022 on FX. Lead star Donald Glover, Zazie Beetz, Brian Tyree Henry, and Lakeith Stanfield are all back.
    Glover, a native of Atlanta suburb Stone Mountain, is ready to show the world the Seasons 3 and 4 of Atlanta on FX, but also for the show to end. He recently told panelists at a Television Critics Association virtual session that the Season 4 will be the show’s last season.

    Donald Glover Says Atlanta Will End After Season 4

    “To be honest, I wanted to end it after season 2,” Glover said, cracking a smile, “and I think we had talked about that for a minute,” Glover continued. “Death is natural … I feel like when the conditions are right for something, they happen, and when the conditions aren’t right for it, they don’t happen. I don’t feel any sort of longevity. I feel like the story was always supposed to be what it was, and the story, it really was us. Everybody in that writers’ room, everybody on set, it really was what we were going through and what we talked about, and that’s the only way I like to make things. I think it ends perfectly.”

    His comments mean the characters of Earn Marks, Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles (Brian Tyree Henry) and the gang are coming to an end.

    Of course, the all-star cast, including Glover, have plenty of other projects in the works. Glover’s deal with Amazon wasn’t a factor, he stressed.

    “And Amazon didn’t have anything to do with that,” he said. “We had been planning that for a while. I’ve done television now for almost two decades, so I’m just, like, I like things ending.”

    Not since Season 2’s “Robbin’ Season” has the anticipation for Atlanta been so intense.

    Atlanta Seasons 3 and 4 were shot in succession like “part one and two,” according to the network’s president, who has taken every opportunity to brag on the show.

    Filming locations are reportedly set around Atlanta and parts of Europe, including London.

    The show’s popularity is centered on Glover, who is a manager and promoter for his cousin, an aspiring rapper.

    What Is Atlanta FX About?

    it has become TV-making lore that Glover pitched the head of FX on a whole other show than what we recognize now as Atlanta.
    If you’ve never watch Atlanta FX, you may be wondering what it’s about. The show is based on the interactions between two close cousins and their mutual friend in Atlanta, Georgia.
    Earn (Glover) is a down-on-his-luck father who is trying to mend his relationship with his baby’s mother. He’s terrible at keeping a job so he agrees to manage the fledging rap career of his cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry), who raps under the stage name “Paper Boi”.
    That’s a lot going on, but if you add Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) in the mix, the hijinks commence.

    Final Word

    For those in America, Atlanta FX is available on two streaming services: Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. Here’s how to watch Atlanta FX.

    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 latter part of the year and the foreseeable future.

    Because of the steady flow of movie and TV productions, Atlanta has been called the Hollywood of the South and it’s not just a label.. If you want to be an actor, the city has classes you can take as well as places that provide headshots and more. You can also audition at numerous casting calls to build your movie and TV reel.
    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.

    Kandi And The Gang Set To Premiere This Weekend

    3 Min Read

    Reality TV star Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker are giving us a lot behind the dining room of their Atlanta restaurant brand Old Lady Gang.

    The Old Lady Gang TV show is actually called Kandi and The Gang. It is premiering on Bravo TV on March 6, 2022. Here’s everything you need to know about the show.

    Old Lady Gang TV Show: Everything You Want To Know

    The Old Lady Gang has been a soul food fixture in Atlanta for the past four years. There are currently three locations of the eatery.

    • Castleberry Hill: 177 Peters St SW, Atlanta, GA 30313| (404) 748-9689
    • Camp Creek: 3650 Marketplace Blvd Suite 950, East Point, GA 30344
    • Downtown: Mercedes Benz Stadium: 1 AMB Dr NW, Atlanta, Ga. 30303

    The restaurant, like many of Kandi’s songs, turned out to be a hit and is one of the best black-owned restaurants in Atlanta.

    Although Kandi and Todd get much of the limelight for the restaurant, the real stars of the show are the “old ladies” who the food empire is named after.

    Who Are Old Ladies In The Old Lady Gang?

    The lovely trio who makes up The Old Lady Gang are Kandi’s mother Joyce Jones, and her two aunts Bertha Jones & Nora Wilcox.

    Many of the signature recipes served at Old Lady Gang come from those women along with some chef-inspired dishes and Southern staples.

    When Will Kandi and The Gang Come On TV?

    The premiere for Kandi and The Gang is set for March 6, 2022 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo TV. The show is part of a production deal struck between Bravo’s Andy Cohen imprint and Kandi.

    Here’s the promo for the show:

    Final Word

    On social media, Kandi says she really appreciates the love the teaser for the new show has been getting.

    “We are working at the moment but we just wanted to say thank you to all the love that y’all have been giving us about our new show #KandiAndTheGang! It means so much & we appreciate you!” she says on Facebook. “Thank you for your post, shares, comments, & everything!

    If you love reality TV and if it’s as good as the restaurants, then you’ll really enjoy the Old Lady Gang TV show.
