I got the Lord Grey and the Saporous. Both were delicious! Light and easy to drink. We got there at 1:00 pm, which wasn’t too crowded yet and we were able to snag a table. It got suuuuper packed later on. Beware that parking in the deck is pretty expensive – $15 for 3+ hours.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDPsi0A6aC/
Perkerson Park, located at 770 Deckner Ave SW Atlanta, is a 50-acre park in the Capitol View/Sylvan Hills neighborhoods.

South Atlanta Park
Located at Gammon St SE, South Atlanta Park opens at 8 a.m. daily. One Google reviewer said this about South Atlanta Park: “I normally love coming to this park but lately it feels like maintenance has been lacking. This used to be one of my favorite places to come- don’t get me wrong- still is an amazing park. Just wished it was a bit cleaner and up kept.”
South Bend Park
South Bend Park, one of the south side’s signature parks, is located at 1955 Compton Dr SE Atlanta.
Here’s what one Google reviewer said: “The trail is very nice but the park itself is a bit sketchy. A lot of homeless make the covered areas their residence. The playground, and all play areas for that matter, could use a good pressure washing. The baseball field looks nice but no rec sports are offered by this park. There’s no public engagement from the city at this park. Which is unfortunate because our community needs it! Maybe a burger/hot dog day in exchange for the community to come out and clean up the park while meeting the neighbors. Just a thought.”
Centennial Olympic
Park Centennial Olympic Park is the best Atlanta park for tourists, business travelers and children.Right in the middle of downtown, 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park was built for the 1996 Olympics and has a number of features left over from the Games, including the water gardens & the Fountain of Rings..Here’s what a Google reviewer said about the park. “What an aesthetically incredible park!
Centennial Olympic Park located in Downtown Atlanta fascinated me so much that we(my family & I)ended up spending more than an hour here appreciating the Fall Foliage and clicking tonnes of pictures.
The Fountain of Rings, The Bronze Arch statue and the Statue of The founder of Olympic Committee are the predominant Charms of the park.”Emma Millican Park

Grant Park
Grant Park, adjacent to its namesake neighborhood, is the oldest city park in Atlanta and is known for its sprawling green space. The park is a favorite of eastsiders, many of whom live in the Victorian homes that surround the park.
One Google reviewer said: “Much nicer than it was in the 90s. Yes, it has been that long since I have been there. The Farmer’s Market that runs 9 to 1 most Sundays is great. Less produce and more local artisans with cheese, meats, soaps, bread and on like that. We were there to walk our dogs, but the market was nice. We had wood fired pizza, scones, donuts, coffee, and iced tea. There is produce, but not many. Maybe in warmer months there is more.”
D.H. Stanton Park
View this post on InstagramD.H. Stanton Park has some pretty trails as well as a baseball park. Located at 213 Haygood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30315, Stanton Park is located around some of the oldest neighborhoods in southwest Atlanta.
One Google reviewer said this: “Wow! Such a nice playground for kids. Splash pad, rubber Hill area, seating, the works! Use Martin Street address when getting directions from MAPS. If you use Haygood address you will end up on a dead end on a tight Street you don’t want to be on! Didn’t give it 5 stars because there is limited shaded area that is subject to being taken over for a birthday party and no off-street parking.”
Historic Fourth Ward
Park Historic Fourth Ward Park has been revitalized in recent years, making it a favorite green space in Midtown Atlanta. The 17-acre park has a skate park, amphitheater and is adjacent to the Beltline.One Google reviewer said this: “It was a chill place where you could just walk and catch up with a friend.

Here’s what a reviewer said: “This is a historic park in the area of Edgewood Ave. At this park you will see college students, professional people, people playing board games etc. However, homeless individuals gather here too. Our ministerial group passed out Pre-Thanksgiving dishes to the homeless.”
Boulevard Crossing
Park Boulevard Crossing Park is located at 500 Englewood Ave SE and is a main soccer training field for youths. With two multi-use fields and immaculate landscaping, Boulevard Crossing Park is primed for recreational sports play.Here’s what one reviewer said: “I liked that they had trash cans and picnic tables.

Here’s how a Google reviewer described it: “Great park for trail walking. Dogs are allowed as long as they are on leash. Beautiful wooded trails with multiple loops/ routes for different distances. A lot of different wildlife can be seen, from deer to owls. Very popular for runners and walkers. Has a pond and streams. The pond can be fished. Great family spot.”

Maddox Park
Situated on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, Maddox Park is a hot location due to its inclusion in the Beltline designs. Want easy access? Maddox Park is conveniently located across from the Bankhead MARTA Station.
Here’s what one reviewer said: “With the train station being literally at the park, the industrial ambiance is quite relaxing, if you ask me. The Marta train station is located across the street. Thankfully, a pavilion is close in distance to cool off at & is perfect for hosting parties. The basketball court is gated and filled with great street players. There is also a gated pool with a kiddie umbrella water area. The only thing I dislike is the lack of parking spaces in front of the parks community building.”

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is one of the best in the business when it comes to the aviation industry. If you’ve bought a Delta ticket and flying out of Atlanta this summer, here are some things to do.
One of the main things to know is that Delta is in the midst of reducing flights around the U.S. as well as other major markets.
When Is Delta Reducing Its Summer Flights Schedule?
According to Delta News Hub, the airline’s official website, Delta will decrease its flight schedule this summer from July 1-Aug. 7, 2022. This will affect approximately 100 daily departures.
The main reason for the reduction in schedule is related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to put strain on airline staffs worldwide.
“More than any time in our history, the various factors currently impacting our operation – weather and air traffic control, vendor staffing, increased COVID case rates contributing to higher-than-planned unscheduled absences in some work groups – are resulting in an operation that isn’t consistently up to the standards Delta has set for the industry in recent years,” Chief Customer Experience Officer Allison Ausband was quoted as saying. “We deeply appreciate the energy and efforts of our people and the confidence of our customers as we adapt and pivot to ensure we provide the airline-of-choice experience we’re so proud to be known for.”
Because Delta’s schedule may be in a flux in the near term, you’ll want to look for ways you can save when flying the airline.
When Is The Best Day To Fly On Delta?
The cheapest day to fly on Delta is typically on Monday or Wednesday. Tuesday and Thursday will be your next most-affordable days.If you can, you’ll want to avoid the weekends. Starting with Friday and Saturday, those days are the most expensive to fly, followed by Sunday.Look for ways that you can prepare to get to your flight on time in the event there’s a change of schedule or another unforeseen occurrence.- Keep up with any changes to your flight on the Delta App
- Know about any COVID testing requirements before your flight.
- Leaving the country? Stay up to date on any travel requirements.
How To Reach Delta Air Lines Customer Service
Delta Air Line’s customer service phone number is 800-221-1212. If you are a Medallion Member, check the Contact Us section in the Fly Delta mobile app for the dedicated phone line.
The perennially top-rated carrier has done away with its mask mandate, following trends around the nation as COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to plummet.
Delta was one of the strictest airlines when it came to health protocols at the height of the pandemic, even reserving an open-middle seat policy.
Do You Need To Wear Masks On Delta Flights?
Customers and employees alike are free to continue to wear masks, which offer protection against aerosols, the company said.
Delta warned that although it’s policy is in line with White House recommendations, many other businesses around the airport may be slow to get on the same page.
“Given the unexpected nature of this announcement, please be aware that customers, airline employees and federal agency employees, such as TSA, may be receiving this information at different times,” the airline said in an announcement on its website. Y”ou may experience inconsistent enforcement during the next 24 hours as this news is more broadly communicated – remember to show understanding and patience with others who may not be aware enforcement is no longer required. Communications to customers and in-airport signage and announcements will be updated to share that masking is now optional – this may take a short period of time.”
Do I Still Need To Wear A Mask When Out In Atlanta, Georgia?
The CDC along with the City of Atlanta have released guidance advocating that masks no longer have to be worn indoors as well as outdoors in crowded areas.
The CDC also said that masks are now optional on public transportation, which spurred Delta to make its announcement.
Gov. Brian Kemp passed laws that ban a mask mandate, so the local restrictions are limited in how far they apply.
Earlier in the year, the CDC caused controversy when it came out with the following guidance:
Final Word
You no longer have to pack your masks when taking a flight on Delta. Keep in mind that when you’re traveling abroad, mask mandates may still be in effect.
Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.
Not only is it the world’s busiest airport, but it’s state-of-the-art in every way. If you’re interested in traveling around Atlanta via car or even on scooter, here’s what to know.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Bones. “Great food! Great service! One of my favorite steak houses. I love a good lobster bisque and with Bones you can taste the sherry. The baby octopus salad with sherry was incredible. The sherry vinaigrette was light and flavorful. I am very particular about octopus and I can say the octopus here is one of my favorites.

Rent prices continue to increase around Atlanta, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find an affordable apartment.
In this article, we’re going to show you how to get an apartment you can afford.
Finding an affordable apartment in your budget is possible. You just have to do your homework like learning about the location and how much place you can afford.
The coronavirus pandemic caused the apartment industry to adjust the way it does business. Although many things are back to normal, contactless procedures are still in place at some apartment complexes.
The good thing is that searching online for an apartment is as popular as ever.
How To Find An Apartment
The best advice for finding an apartment is to know what you like and to stay within your budget. This article is going to show you some things to consider during your search.
What We’ll Consider:
How Much Should You Have Saved For An Apartment?
Of course, the type of area you choose to live on will vary based on many financial factors, including local cost of living, property values and more.
When it comes to how much you should have stashed away for an apartment, a good rule of thumb is your rent should be one-third of your income.
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.
Aside from money, you’ll need to make sure your credit is OK. Here are three ways to improve your credit score quickly.
Once you’ve done your homework, you need to time your apartment hunt with a favorable time of the year.
What Is The Best Time To Find An Apartment?
Because people are less likely to relocate in the winter, you’ll find that rents are usually higher in the warmer months. That means from May through September, you will see rental rates spike.
Conversely, you should be able to find lower rents when the weather is cooler. So that means from October through April is when you may be able to get a deal on your rent.
Now that you know what time to rent an apartment, here’s the main thing you need to know.
How Do I Find An Apartment Remotely?
You may be wondering how you can find an apartment without seeing its square footage and physically feeling how big or small the rooms are. Here are two tips to find one.
- Research the surrounding area: Make sure you take your time to read up on the area, including nearby schools, amenities, restaurants and stores. All of those things give you a sense of what kind of area it is and what you’ll likely spend on rent.
- Do a virtual tour: Most apartment websites have 360 degree cameras that allow you to virtually tour the complex, including the rooms you are interested in.
Once you find your apartment, you’ll need to set up an appointment to talk business with the property manager or leasing agent.
Consider The Size Of Your Apartment
To really get an affordable apartment in a good part of the town, you may have to consider the size of your dwelling.
I know you may want to splurge on a two-bedroom apartment, but you may need to look at a one bedroom. To save even more, see if you can make due with a studio apartment.
As an example, a studio apartment in Midtown Atlanta costs about $1,200. That same studio in other parts of the city could cost as low as $700.
Get A Roommate
Another way to save money on an apartment is to get a roommate. Not only will a roommate cut your costs automatically by 50%, but having another person living with you also adds an element of safety.
Some great places to find a roommate include:
Always put safety first when meeting a prospective roommate for the first time. Make sure the person has their identification and any other documents you may need.
Final Words
Remember that you may not want to live in the most populous or trendy places, because of noise, traffic and pollution. You also may not want to live too far away, which would stretch your commute.
Now that you are equipped to find an apartment, it’s time to see how you can get cheaper rent. Here’s how to negotiate.Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.
