• The Gulch Rebrands As Centennial Yards In Downtown Atlanta

    The Gulch Rebrands As Centennial Yards In Downtown Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    The Gulch, that long stretch of underground parking lot, railyard and abandoned greenspace, has been rebranded as Centennial Yards.

    Real estate firm CIM Group is responsible for the transformation, which aims to encompass far more just a name change.

    The Gulch In Downtown Atlanta Is Now Centennial Yards

    The name change is part of a redevelopment that will feature a mix of hotels, apartments and retail spaces covering up to 12 million square feet. The project will revitalize a 40-acre patch of land that has sat dormant and unkempt for more than two decades.

    The downtown Atlanta space, which used to be a prominent railroad junction, fell into disrepair when city planners sought to build up the area around Techwood for the 1996 Olympics.

    “Now is a prudent time for us to launch the branding of Centennial Yards. We wanted a name that was authentic, and one that would make clear where the project was located, while also honoring the history of the site,” said Devon McCorkle, First Vice President, CIM Group.

    During the commotion around the new Amazon headquarters, Atlanta officials offered plans to redevelop the Gulch, but there was staunch opposition.

    The latest effort seems to have come to pass quietly.

    Atlanta has a lot of inspirational people and AtlantaFi.com is going to introduce you to many of them as well as cool places to go, great restaurants and other ATL happenings.

    Buckhead is getting a new restaurant near one of the area’s most famous parks. Healthy casual Brack’s Kitchen is set to open Monday, May 21, 2019 near Chastain Park.

    The restaurant will comprise nearly 2,6000 square feet in Buckhead Court shopping center at 3850 Roswell Road, home to Superica, a coffee shop and other eateries.

    The restaurant’s opening, first reported by Tomorrow’s News Today, marks a more modern, hipper brand of establishments for Buckhead Court, which has traditionally relied on the stoic chains of middle America to draw shoppers.

    Signature dishes at Brack’s Kitchen will include Chicken & Dumplings, featuring marinated grilled chicken, balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts, black-eyed pea falafel, chili charred cauliflower as well as salads with the likes of marinated grilled shrimp, local lettuce mix, red onion, cucumber, citrus marinated avocado, marinated tomatoes, and cilantro lemon vinaigrette, according to Tonetoatl.com.

  • 100 People Will Get Free Meals At Atlanta Area Chick-Fil-A

    100 People Get Free Meals For Year As New Chick-Fil-A Opens

    3 Min Read

    On Thursday, May 16, customers qualified for a free meal for a year at the new Chick-fil-A at 2090 Newnan Crossing Blvd. East. There was no purchase necessary, one per customer.

    The fast food chain and local franchise owner and Operator Lauren McGuire ran the free promotion, called First 100.

    New Chick-Fil-A opens in Newnan

    The First 100 Campout party included community members of all ages in an overnight party.  Registrations begins at the restaurant at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15.

    McGuire’s life has been intertwined with Chick-Fil-A since she was small. At age 7, she had open heart surgery and her family would reward her after her numerous doctor appointments with Dwarf House in Hapeville.

    Years later, two of her brothers would become Chick-fil-A operators and another worked at the chain’s Atlanta support center. Her husband worked as a corporate attorney for Chick-Fil-A for more than a decade.

    Soon McGuire joined the chain as a team member. In 2011 she was named operator of the Arbor Place Mall location in Douglasville.

    McGuire’s nearly 5,000-square-foot restaurant at Newnan Crossing has been designed to enhance all aspects of a guest’s experience from the drive-thru to the counter to in-restaurant dining.

    Up to 100 adults will win a digital offer card with a year of free Chick-fil-A meals (52 meals with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries and a medium beverage).

    ·      The community event is open to guests surrounding the restaurant with a list of eligible zip codes and complete rules found at https://thechickenwire.chick-fil-a.com/News/Future-Openings.

    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.
