According to a recent study, the metropolitan Atlanta area leads the nation in cities where it is cheaper to rent rather than buy a home.
The data, compiled in Realtor.com’s June 22 report, shows that the trend of higher home prices has flipped from what it was just a year ago.
“Eight of the top 50 metros flipped from having monthly buy costs lower than monthly rent costs in 2021 to having monthly rent costs lower than monthly buy costs in 2022, and one metro flipped from favoring renting to favoring buying since last year,” the report says.
Why Is Renting Cheaper Than Buying a Home Right Now?
The report indicates that interest rates, which recently eclipsed the 5% mark, are a major factor in putting homeownership out of the reach of many people.
Due to recent actions of the Federal Reserve, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 5.52% in June 2022. Just five months ago in January, that figure was 3.45%.
Let’s look at the metro areas where it is cheaper to rent than buy a home, according to Realtor.com.

Atlanta’s rental market has not been for the faint of heart lately. Prices have shot upward over the past 12 months, but there are signs we could see some relief soon.
If you’re looking for an apartment right now, the first thing you need to do is make sure you have a firm budget for rent.
Don’t get misled by amenities are how large the apartment is, get what you can afford.
For example, if your monthly income is $3,000, your monthly rent should be around $1,000.
Typically, you will also need to have the first and last month’s rent. So if you’re renting a $1,000-a-month apartment, you will need to set aside an entire month of income to get the key.
Here’s how to get an apartment for cheap.

Atlanta-based filmmaker Tyler Perry has a new Netflix movie in the pipeline and this one’s close to his heart. A Jazzman’s Blues is the title of the film, which was shot at his namesake studio in southwest Atlanta.
Perry said it has taken almost 30 years for the story to be told.
“I wrote it in 1995. It was the first screenplay I ever wrote,” he recently told People Magazine. “The two characters are just trying to find their own way in the world. Initially, I wanted to play the lead role of Bayou, but that was 1995 — I aged out.”
Perry On Actors Who Turned Down His Roles
Perry said that some of the actors he originally wanted for the project didn’t have enough faith in him.
“Unfortunately with this film, I went to a bunch of up-and-coming young artists who were getting a lot of attention and I asked them about doing the role. They read the script, they loved the script, but I think there was a reservation or hesitation about working with me in particular on this film, because I guess they didn’t know how it would turn out,” he told People.
Cast Members: Who Stars In A Jazzman’s Blues?
The Jazzman’s Blues has an all-star cast featuring the following actors:
- Brad Benedict
- Ryan Eggold
- Amirah Vann
- Lana Young
- Austin Scott
- Milauna Jemai Jackson
- Kario Marcel
- Brent Antonello
- Joshua Boone
- Solea Pfeiffer
- Rod Wood
If that’s not enough star power, Terence Blanchard is involved in the music for the film and there’s choreography by Debbie Allen.What is A Jazzman’s Blues About?
While not a lot is known about the plot, a summary of the film released by Netflix says it’s about “a sweeping tale of forbidden love.”Perry told People that the plot of A Jazzman’s Blues came to him when he was in a very vulnerable state as a creator.“I was in Atlanta struggling to make it. I was hungry, sleeping on my cousin’s couch, eventually getting put out and being homeless. I was trying to get my first play off the ground, and this screenplay just poured out of me,” Perry is quoted as saying. “I held onto it for all of these years.”
When Does A Jazzman’s Blues Stream On Netflix?
A Jazzman’s Blues starts streaming on on Netflix on Sept. 23, 2022.The film is the second one that Perry is releasing this year. In February, A Madea Homecoming debuted on Netflix. In 2020, Netflix also streamed Perry’s A Fall From Grace starring Phylicia Rashad in a suspense thriller.Last Word

Months after filming wrapped in Atlanta, Marvel Studios gives us a peek of the highly anticipated movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The emotional footage shows the film’s lead characters in various states of chaos, but also melancholy.
The big reveal from Marvel Studios was part of the company’s phase 5 production preview at San Diego’s Comic-Con.
Emotional Trailer Shows Wakanda Post-T’Challa
One of the more stirring moments is a mural of King T’Challa, the late Chadwick Boseman, who succumbed to cancer in summer 2020. Since then, fans have wondered how the epic African superhero tale will go on.
Photo credit: Marvel Studios As for how the plot was able to move around T’Challa, Marvel had to be very careful.
Speaking in 2021 at a fan event in Los Angeles, Marvel exec Kevin Feige said, “It’s clearly very emotional without Chad,” according to Variety. “But everyone is also very excited to bring the world of Wakanda back to the public and back to the fans. We’re going to do it in a way that would make Chad proud.”
Where Was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Filmed?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was filmed in various parts of the United States and Puerto Rico. Major production was done just outside Atlanta at Trilith Studios, as well as around Georgia, including in Brunswick at the Mary Ross Waterfront Park. Just like the first Black Panther film, Tyler Perry Studios was also used for some key scenes.
In addition to Atlanta and the Vulcan Materials quarry in Stockbridge, Georgia, some landscapes in Massachusetts also appeared in the film.
When Will Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Be Released?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 11, 2022. Marvel has set a strict schedule for its Phase Five production slates and it is betting big that Black Panther 2 will win the Christmas movie season.
Let’s take a look at the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
When Did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Film?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever began auditions and casting calls in July 2021 and ran into the late-year holidays. Production stopped due to a COVID outbreak on the set as well as an injury to star Letitia Wright.
But in January 2022, production and filming was allowed to resume. In March, filming wrapped, although some post-production continued for a while.
Final Word
No matter what happens, we know that Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever will be an instant hit and bring even further spotlight to Atlanta as the new center of the moviemaking universe.

If you have curly hair, you know the struggle it can be to achieve straight hair. Thankfully, flat irons and straighteners can do the job.
In this article, we’ll explain how to curl your hair with a flat iron. We’ve listed some really simple steps so that you can follow along.
Should You Straighten Your Hair Wet Or Dry?
Some people may get away with straightening their hair while it’s wet, but after a while there is the risk of damaging your locks. For the best results, straighten your hair when it’s dry.
The moisture trapped within your follicles can hasten heat damage when straightening, and you don’t want to do that.
OK, let’s go over the steps for straightening your hair without heat first, then we’ll consider he steps for straightening your hair with heat.
How To Straighten Your Hair Without Heat
If you don’t want to use heat on your hair, it’s understandable; heat can damage your hair. The good news is that you can naturally straighten your hair as well.
Depending on the grade of hair you have you may be able to apply a hot towel on your head and comb it straighten. To naturally straighten your hair in other ways, here are some products you can use:
Keratherapy Keratin Infused Daily Smoothing Cream (6.8 oz)
MIZANI 25 Miracle Milk Leave-In Conditioner
Honey Miracle Hair Mask (12 Oz)
Keratin-Infused Anti-Frizz Moisturizing Hair Mask
Carol’s Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey Shine Pomade
How To Straightener Your Hair With Heat
You’ll need a flat iron to straighten your hair with heat. Once you’ve plugged in your flat iron, and positioned yourself in front of a mirror, you’re ready to go.
Grab A Small Section Of Your Hair
With your hand, grab some strands of hair — about 1 to 2 inches across should be enough — and pull it out, elevating it away from your head.
The reason you’ll want to pull it away from your head is because the flat iron is really hot! With the other hand, grab your flat iron.
Clamp Your Hair With the Flat Iron And Stroke Down
Now you’ll want to do is clamp your hair as close to the scalp without actually touching it. While you’re positioned the flat iron with your hair in between, stroke your hair in a downward motion.
Because of the heat, you should be able to do this one time and achieve the desired results: Straight hair.
Grab another small section of hair and follow the same steps.
Here’s a video to help you see how it’s done:
Some safety tips that you need to follow:
- Set it to the lowest temperature first. If you don’t get your hair straight, then adjust the setting hotter.
- Don’t keep your flat iron plugged up if you’re done with it.
- When applying the heat to your hair, don’t let the flat iron stay on one section of your hair for no longer than a second or so. You don’t want to damage your hair.
Last Word
Aside from using some rollers or a flat iron, some petroleum-free, mineral oil-free pomade can definitely straighten your hair. With every product, you’re going to have to see how it works with your particular hair type and if it works for you.
Once you decide on a hair product, be mindful of how long it lasts and how many times a week you have to use it.

We told you about it in late winter and it’s here: Rooftop L.O.A. has opened for business, according to a news release from the venue.
The luxe rooftop bar and restaurant is located atop The Interlock development in West Midtown Atlanta.
Rooftop L.O.A. Opens In West Midtown
The eatery’s name, Rooftop L.O.A., stands for Leave of Absence, and is a nod to the carefree environment that will put you in the mind of a getaway when you visit.
“It’s even more than we imagined it would be,” Slater Hospitality Co-Founder + Chief Creative Officer, Mandy Slater, said in the news release, referring to the opening of Rooftop L.O.A. “It’s a joy seeing people on the rooftop – swimming in the Pool, enjoying a spritz under the sun, ordering caviar with their friends in a cabana, and beaming at the sunsets from the Grove terrace. Guests are really soaking it up and immersing themselves in everything L.O.A. offers.”
The establishment takes up 38,000-square feet and is a full-service restaurant complete with rooftop pool bar with cabanas, lounge and more.
The Grove
One of the main features is the Grove, a garden-inspired outdoor bar and 150-person covered event pavilion. The secluded space’s pavilion is great for private events and more. The Grove opens at 5 p.m. every day.
The Pool
Another top amenity of Rooftop L.O.A. is the pool. Complete a cabana, lounge chairs and stadium, the pool is the perfect place to beat the heat in Atlanta.

- Sunday – Wednesday | 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
- Thursday – Saturday | 11 a.m. – 12 a.m. or later.
“The Pool at Rooftop L.O.A. is a huge part of what makes this concept unique to Atlanta,” said Slater Hospitality Founder + CCO, Mandy Slater. “A pool that is detached from a hotel or a residence creates a special offering that doesn’t exist currently. We can’t wait to welcome guests and offer a truly world-class experience – a slice of paradise where guests can escape, unwind, be taken care of, and detach from the day-to-day.”
The Pool and indoor pool bar accommodate more 200 people with sun loungers and private cabanas, food and beverage service, and a rotation of events and programming.
What’s On The Menu At Rooftop L.O.A.?

Among the tasty delights are foie gras bratwurst and shrimp tacos, plus an ancient grains bowl. And the venue has a unique twist on popsicles — “Whim-sicles,” which can come with mango paleta, Pina Colada with dark chocolate and the Blueberry gel squeeze shot.
There is also a brunch menu available at the pool on Saturday and Sunday. Brunch menu items include a French pastry selection and Gougere Benedict with prosciutto cotto and hollandaise, and plenty more.
Where Is The Rooftop L.O.A. Located?
The Rooftop L,O.A. is located on the roof of The Interlock in West Midtown, Rooftop L.O.A. The Interlock’s address is 1115 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. Here’s a map to help you find it.
