Wednesdays in Atlanta just got more fun. One popular movie theater company is using a retro tactic to get moviegoers back in seats: A sale.AMC Theatres is launching a “50% Off Wednesdays” program, which offers AMC Stubs members a 50% discount on the base adult evening ticket price for all showtimes on Wednesdays.
When Does AMC’s 50% Wednesdays Start?
AMC Theatre’s 50% Wednesdays pricing begins July 9, 2025.
This applies to all AMC locations in the United States, though additional charges for premium formats like IMAX, Dolby Cinema, or 3D still apply.

If you haven’t heard about NFA Burger on metro Atlanta’s northside, you haven’t been listening. The ultimate smash burger has been sharing space with a gas station, but expansion is in the works.
When Is NFA Burger Opening in Atlanta?
We thought it is happening last month, but now we know: NFA Burger is opening its full restaurant space in Alpharetta’s Avalon in May 15, 2025.
Opening in the space formerly occupied by Rina, NFA Burger’s expansion from a smaller setup to a full-service location with a bar is big news for Atlanta’s burgers fans.
The popular eatery opened in 2018 inside the Chevron gas station at nside the Chevron, 5465 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Dunwoody, GA 30338. Now it’s time to stand on its own and it’s picking The Avalon as its stomping, or should I say, smashing, ground.
What’s On the Menu at NFA Burger?
NFA Burger, located in Dunwoody, Georgia, offers a concise yet flavorful menu centered around their acclaimed smash burgers.
Burgers:
- Double – The Classic: Two 2.75 oz patties topped with American cheese, Mt. Olive pickles, French’s mustard, and their signature Sassy Sauce, all nestled in a Martin’s Potato Roll.
Hot Dogs / Sausages:
- Jersey Dog: A 1/4 lb Angus all-beef hot dog.
Sides:
- Crispy Tater Tots
- Seasoned Crinkle-Cut Fries
Desserts:
- Belgian Waffles: Authentic waffles imported from Belgium.
- Cinnamon Sugar Twists: House-made sweet treats.
Kids’ Menu:
- Kid-sized options
NFA Burger has garnered acclaim for its quality and flavor, with Food & Wine Magazine naming it Georgia’s Best Burger.
Where Is NFA Burger Located in Alpharetta
NFA Burger is located at 3180 Avalon Blvd, Alpharetta, Ga. 30009. Here is a map to help you find it.

Adidas. Nike. Under Amour. Those are some of the most popular brands in athletics. And who doesn’t enjoy some new clothing to sweat in every now and then?
We’re going to show you some great athleticwear that you can sport when you exercise.
Cool Athletic Wear For Your Workout

What To Wear To The Gym
Everyone from time to time wants to focus on fitness, but in order to do so, you need to make sure you’re dressed comfortably.
You’ll want some gear that offer flexibility. Here are some suggestions:
Also, make sure your outfit allows you to move freely. Here are some top Zumba outfits:
Buy A Punching Bag
If you want the convenience of working on your body in your own home, you might want to invest in a punching bag. Here are some good ones from Amazon:
Tips When Shopping for Athletic Wear
Look for athletic clothing made from moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics like polyester blends or spandex, which help keep you dry and comfortable during exercise.
Consider the activity and weather; for cold workouts, snug fits help with warmth, while lightweight options are better for hot conditions.
Fabrics like polyester blends and spandex are recommended for their ability to pull sweat away from the skin, keeping you dry during high-intensity workouts.For cold-weather activities, the guide suggests opting for snug-fitting long-sleeve shirts to preserve warmth and allow for layering, ideal for extra chilly days. Conversely, for hot conditions, lightweight and breathable options are crucial to prevent overheating.
Additionally, consider the weight and thickness of the fabric based on your activity.
For example, thicker fabrics might be better for outdoor winter runs, while thinner, stretchy materials suit yoga or indoor workouts.
Reflective elements are also advised for outdoor activities in low light, enhancing safety during early morning or evening exercises.
Last Words
No matter what you wear when you work out, make sure it complements your figure. Clothes that are too tight will only distract from your goal: exercise.
When you don’t know what to wear, nothing beats some simple yoga pants and a fitted tank top or T-shirt.

Casting calls typically require you to submit your photo and other pertinent information beforehand. If you are selected, you will get a call or email.
Is Tyler Perry Holding Auditions?
Perry typically hires casting companies to fill roles for his films. Any auditions will be orchestrated by the appropriate company that he has hired.

Final Words
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.
