Here’s what one reviewer says about the Delta Flight Museum: “Off the beaten track among the Atlanta attractions. If you are an aviation enthusiast it is a really good attraction. It exhibits the history of Delta Airways. There are nice displays for “children” of all ages. A must see is the external Boeing 747,where yo can tour the whole length of this icon. There are displays and some cross sections showing the inner working of this behemoth. there are some hands on interactive experience. The only letdown is the gift shop. A wonderful attraction highly recommended for your inner child.”
Jefferson Park Recreation Center
1431 Norman Berry Dr, East Point, GA 30344 | (404) 270-7001
Here’s what one Google reviewer says about Jefferson Park Rec Center: “Facility need to be upgraded. Very antiquated. Needs new equipment. But staff is very personal, friendly and conversational.”
Sykes Park

Egan Park
3383 Bachelor St, East Point, GA 30344 | (800) 864-7275
Here’s what one reviewer says about Egan Park: “Ok so I’m posting on here for Eagan Park because I was raised here for most of my life at least 29 yrs I’m only 38 now so I will say it is not what it used to be or how I used to know it . It is a very quite place to live by the airport inside ATL outside of 285 perimeter . Anyhow I would tell you back in the day to stay away but now it is a nice place to come visit a small historical town nice restaurants around every corner and not to far to downtown Atlanta. And Marta can run you anywhere.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Oz Pizza: “I never expected to find a pizza place like this in Atlanta. Having lived in New York for many years, I know pizza. Now, this won’t replace “New York style” pizza, but it doesn’t have to. Oz Pizza is simply amazing pizza. It’s their style, and that’s what I loved about it. (I wasn’t looking for New York pizza, go to New York for that.) Perfect crust, crunchy and fluffy soft. Thin and crispy in the middle and perfectly topped with cheese, sauce and in my case, pepperoni. If you’re craving pizza, this is the place!.”

Taco Pete
2957 Main St, East Point, GA 30344 | (404) 968-4790
Taco Pete is renovating but its reputation is renown in these parts as having the best tacos in the area, and their nachos bring crowds from all over south Atlanta.
Here’s what one reviewer says about Taco Pete: “I started to give a 1-star rating, so I could keep this hidden gem to myself!

My friend, Ms. Love, who recommended the place, sat in silence until every morsel was gone.”

Salmon patties seasoned great. Chicken wings delicious. And both times Chardai took the order. She has such a sweet southern personality. So if you’re from out of town she has that real family vibe like she’s known you forever but still super sweet. I will be back when in the area and actually dine in too.”
D’essence Cafe
3056 Bayard St, East Point, GA 30344 | (404) 766-8900
Here’s what one Google reviewer says about D’essence: “OMG this place is a GEM!!! I’ll be the first to say that I didn’t know it existed but thankfully I found it!! Everything is freshly cooked, the menu is extensive and the food is AMAZING! The food taste like my mama made it! There’s plenty of seating and areas that you can work in!

ATLANTA, May 18, 2026 — Rōti Modern Mediterranean®, the fast-casual Mediterranean concept that is part of Atlanta-based Edible Brands®, is deepening its roots in its home market while marking its international debut. The brand is launching a new delivery-first kitchen in Smyrna as part of its Atlanta expansion and celebrating the first-ever Global Rōti Day on May 19.
This local growth moment coincides with the opening of three delivery-first kitchens in London, creating a unified global brand celebration that highlights Rōti’s flexible, market-driven expansion strategy.
Global Rōti Day Brings Bold Mediterranean Flavor to Atlanta Guests
Global Rōti Day offers guests across markets a chance to experience Rōti’s customizable bowls, salads, and wraps filled with fresh, vibrant Mediterranean ingredients. In Atlanta and surrounding areas, the celebration includes:
- Buy-One-Get-One chef-curated bowl offer (available in-store, online, via the Rōti app, and on third-party delivery platforms like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub).
- The first 50 guests at traditional storefront locations will receive a limited-edition Rōti tote bag plus a free beverage for a year.
- Spin wheel giveaways with prizes such as free hummus and pita, branded T-shirts, cookies, or $3 off future entrées.
- $5 off future orders for guests using the new Smyrna delivery-first kitchen (and London locations) via the app or online.
Guests are encouraged to share their experiences on social media with #ShowUsHowURōti.
Atlanta Focus Fuels Smart Growth
“Atlanta is about building depth in a market we not only work in, but live in and believe in,” said Matthew Walls, president and chief stores officer of Edible Brands. “What makes Rōti work is simple: bold food, real hospitality, and consistency every time. Global Rōti Day gives people in Atlanta and beyond a great reason to try us — and once they do, they connect with the food and the people behind it.”
Rōti’s Atlanta expansion reflects a flexible approach that mixes traditional restaurants with delivery-first kitchens. This model allows the brand to efficiently meet guests where they are — whether through in-store visits or popular delivery apps — while maintaining high-quality, consistent experiences. The Smyrna location strengthens Rōti’s presence in a key metro area for the Atlanta-headquartered company.
Part of a Growing Atlanta-Based Portfolio
Rōti Modern Mediterranean was founded in 2007 in Chicago and acquired by Edible Brands in 2025. As part of the Atlanta-based portfolio that also includes Edible Arrangements® and edibles.com®, Rōti benefits from shared operational strengths while preserving its distinct Mediterranean identity.
“Rōti is a big part of where we are going as a company,” said Somia Farid Silber, CEO of Edible Brands. “We’re building a platform that brings relevant food experiences to how people eat and connect today. Global Rōti Day is a perfect example of how we introduce the brand to new guests while scaling thoughtfully across markets and formats.”

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.

Book a Bartram Trail Hike adventure.
2. Atlanta Scavenger Hunt: Finding Peace in Piedmont Park
In Atlanta’s most beautiful park, look for clues in a classic scavenger hunt among landmarks and discover the history of the Piedmont Park. Book now.
3. Cloudland Canyon
Here’s what one visitor says about Cloudland Canyon State Park: “$5 entrance fee for gorgeous views and short, but rewarding trails. Trails are extremely moderate for an experienced hiker, but present diverse landscape. The trails were well marked, mostly clear from a lot of foot traffic and dirt. Look out for armadillos! We saw two while we were here. You’ll hear them rustling around. We enjoyed going all the way around the loop and then ending with a peek at both waterfalls which weren’t too full but couldn’t have fomo. Lots of stairs to the waterfalls as expected. Camping, RV spots, cabins+ available for an extended stay. The trails were lively with people and dogs enjoying the mild Tuesday afternoon. I do recommend! Views still available right off from the parking lot if you are not feeling a hike. Bonus is that the park also has a disc golf course.”
4. Fort Mountain State Park
Here’s what one visitor says about Fort Mountain Park. “We visited Fort Mountain State Park recently and we had a wonderful time. Since we have visited all 56 Tennessee State Parks we thought we would visit Georgia State Parks. We are glad we went here. We enjoyed seeing the 4 story look out tower. It was a hike to it but not to hard. There is a lot of history here and several plaques are placed so we could read them. From the tower we hiked to the over look. Wow. This has amazing views here. We also drove around the park and we saw a nice lake and campground. There is another trail that goes to a waterfall which is nice. Overall great experience. Can’t wait to go back.”
5. Tallulah Gorge State Park
Here’s what one visitor says about Tallulah State Gorge Park: “What an absolutely beautiful park. We spent two days at the park, walking trails and enjoying the sights and water, and we still didn’t get the opportunity to see everything. But what we did see was stunning!
There are miles of trails you can hike. Some are located on the north side and some on the south side of the gorge. Additionally, you can cross the gorge via the suspension bridge, and even go to the bottom of the gorge. That said, we didn’t go to the bottom – it’s only 100 passes a day, though they are free – but I imagine it’s awesome. And we are hoping to do that ourselves next visit. I highly, highly recommend you been in decent to good shape if you plan to go to the bottom because there are a lot of steps (over 1000 total down and back up) that you must climb to do so. We opted to go down to the suspension bridge and back up and it was quite a work out on its own.”
6. Sweetwater Creek
Here’s what one reviewer says about Sweetwater Creek State Park: “A very well-staffed park. Excellent signage to direct you on where to go. We only took the Red Trail to see the Mill Ruins on a quick visit, but I do recommend that one for beginner hikers! The path is nicely packed and wide for comfort without much of a grade. I was a little disappointed in all the fencing around the ruins keeping you from getting a closer look, but I totally understand the purpose of it being there. The water was lovely and calming also. I would recommend this spot for a nice, relaxing afternoon in nature.”
Final Word
The Peach State has some of the most beautiful sights you could ever see this time of year. Don’t let the nice weather pass you by. Pack your bags, plan a trip and get to going!

ATLANTA — In a resounding validation of its thriving sports ecosystem, Atlanta has been crowned the No. 1 city on Sports Business Journal’s 50 Best Sports Business Cities in America for 2026.
This marks a significant achievement for the city, which has steadily built a reputation as a powerhouse where sports, business, innovation, and community converge.
Atlanta America’s Top Sports Business City for 2026 by Sports Business Journal
According to SBJ’s fourth annual ranking — which evaluates more than 2,300 markets based on professional and collegiate athletics, events, venues, economic impact, and stakeholder input — Atlanta stands at the pinnacle.
A Legacy of Sports Excellence
Atlanta’s sports story is one of bold vision and sustained execution. From luring the Braves from Milwaukee six decades ago to hosting the 1996 Olympic Games, the city has consistently invested in world-class infrastructure and talent. Today, it boasts a formidable lineup of major league teams and venues:
- Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home to the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United, stands as one of the most technologically advanced and versatile arenas in the world.
- Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta have transformed the Braves’ home into a vibrant live-work-play destination.
- State Farm Arena anchors the Hawks and a bustling calendar of concerts and events.
- Additional assets like the upcoming Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center position Atlanta as a key hub ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
These facilities don’t just host games — they drive economic activity, attract corporate relocations, and fuel tourism.
Sports as an Economic Engine
In Atlanta, sports is big business. The city’s sports industry generates billions in annual economic impact through ticket sales, sponsorships, media rights, merchandise, and hospitality. Major events, from Super Bowls and Final Fours to international soccer showcases, bring tens of thousands of visitors and inject hundreds of millions into the local economy.
Innovation thrives here too. Atlanta’s sports tech scene is booming, with startups leveraging data analytics, fan engagement platforms, and venue technology. Corporate giants in the region — from Coca-Cola to Delta Air Lines and UPS — maintain deep sports partnerships, further embedding the industry into the business fabric of the Southeast.
The city’s central location, robust infrastructure, and diverse talent pool make it a magnet for sports executives, agencies, and investment. SBJ’s ranking reflects not just current strength but Atlanta’s momentum heading into a landmark year with the World Cup on the horizon.
Uniting a City — and Beyond
Beyond dollars and trophies, what truly sets Atlanta apart is the unifying power of sports. In a diverse, dynamic metropolis, game days at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or Truist Park bring together fans from every background — Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, immigrant, native-born, young and old — under one roof, cheering as one.
As the announcement captures perfectly: In Atlanta, sports drives business, fuels innovation, creates global impact and most importantly UNITES US ALL.
This ranking celebrates not only Atlanta’s professional achievements but the community spirit that makes it special. From youth programs to grassroots initiatives, sports here builds bridges, inspires the next generation, and fosters pride that extends far beyond the final score.
Looking Ahead
As Atlanta steps into its reign as America’s premier sports business city, the focus remains on continued growth — expanding facilities like Centennial Yards, enhancing fan experiences, and leveraging the 2026 World Cup spotlight to cement its status on the global stage.
Congratulations to Atlanta — a city where champions are made, businesses flourish, and communities come together. The future of sports business has a clear home, and it’s right here in the heart of the South.

ATLANTA — JW Marriott has officially opened its doors in the heart of downtown Atlanta with the launch of JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown, a thoughtfully reimagined luxury property developed in partnership with Stonebridge Hospitality.
The new Atlanta hotel brings elevated accommodations, four new dining concepts, and a spacious Executive Lounge to one of the city’s most vibrant corridors. Located just minutes from Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the Georgia Aquarium, the property positions guests at the center of Atlanta’s sports, entertainment, and cultural scene.
New Luxury Hotel Debuts: JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown Opens
“Bringing JW Marriott to an urban destination like Atlanta is deeply meaningful for our brand,” said Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for JW Marriott. “With this property, we’re extending our mindful, holistic approach to well-being into the heart of the city — creating a place that supports balance, presence, and intentional living amid downtown’s energy. As our second JW Marriott in Atlanta, this opening marks an important step in the brand’s continued growth here.”
Stonebridge, a leading hospitality management and development firm, sees the project as a major milestone for its portfolio.
“The opening of JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown marks an important milestone for Stonebridge as we expand into Atlanta and the luxury hospitality space,” said Rob Smith, Chief Executive Officer and President of Stonebridge. “As downtown continues to evolve and prepares to welcome global visitors for major events like the FIFA World Cup, we’re excited to introduce a JW Marriott experience that captures the city’s energy while offering calm, thoughtful luxury just steps from Atlanta’s top attractions.”
Design Inspired by Atlanta’s Natural Surroundings
Award-winning Texas-based firm Looney & Associates led the hotel’s interior design, creating spaces rooted in calm and a strong sense of place. The design blends earthy oak tones, bronze accents, and verdant greens with natural textures, layered lighting, and soothing neutrals to foster quiet comfort.
Guests enter through a light-filled vestibule where dappled shadows mimic sunlight filtering through Atlanta’s tree canopy. The focal point of the lobby is The Ledger Bar and Lounge — a striking 360-degree bar topped with a sculptural golden light fixture. The space is designed to shift effortlessly from daytime work and meetings to evening socializing and celebrations.
The debut of JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown adds a significant new luxury option to Atlanta’s downtown core as the city continues its transformation and gears up for international spotlight events in the coming years.

The Dallas trip reaches its glittering (and stormy) climax in Cynthia Bailey’s Dynasty-themed gala celebrating her Comisario Tequila brand. What was meant to be a lavish reset for the group devolves into paranoia, group splits, and classic Housewives finger-pointing, solidifying a clear divide among the ladies.
Lingering Van Drama and Breakfast BreakdownThe episode picks up with tensions still simmering from the previous night’s sprinter van ride, where Kelli and Porsha’s argument escalated with wild accusations (including lesbian innuendos and references to Porsha’s “kitty cat”).
RHOA Season 17, Episode 7 Recap: K. Michelle Breaks Down & More
The group somehow pivots to appreciating a rose vibrator, leaving newcomer K. Michelle bewildered at how quickly they move on from conflict.
At breakfast, K. Michelle’s energy is noticeably off. She breaks down in tears, vaguely accusing unnamed castmates of “plotting” and “scheming” to hurt her. She refuses to name names initially, only saying things like “You know who you are!” and calling the perpetrator a “low-down mother—.” Porsha, who brought K. Michelle into the group, grows frustrated with the riddles and walks away.
In confessionals and side conversations, K. Michelle reveals her suspicions: She heard from “the streets of Atlanta” (via a mysterious post-dinner call) that Drew Sidora, Porsha, and Phaedra Parks are planning her takedown. The alleged plot involves:
- Spreading rumors that she was romantically involved with Drew’s friend Blakk Tatted (stemming from innocent mentions of knowing him via Instagram DMs).
- Reviving an old rumor from a disgruntled ex about her “lady parts”/vaginal hygiene (which she ties to Porsha smelling oysters at dinner the night before).
No one on camera had actually brought up the rumor until K. Michelle did, highlighting her paranoia. She insists she’s “not in a space” to fully confront it yet and doesn’t want to ruin Cynthia’s event.
Group Split: Peaches vs. Plums
The cast fractures into factions for debriefs:
- Peaches (Porsha, Angela Oakley, Phaedra, Drew, Cynthia): Confused and bonding upstairs, checking K. Michelle’s Twitter for clues.
- Plums (K. Michelle, Kelli, Pinky Cole, Shamea Morton): Outside, where K. Michelle elaborates on her grievances. vulture.com
Shamea feels the side-eye and calls a group meeting to clear her name, insisting she’s not the fall guy. This leads to more back-and-forth about Blakk, friendships, and how Shamea and Porsha’s fractured relationship has rippled through the group. Drew and Angela get pulled in as alleged mediators or instigators. Tensions peak with head-bobbing and near-confrontations between K. Michelle and Drew before Cynthia steps in to de-escalate.
vulture.comGlam, Jewels, and the GalaCynthia saves the day with signature luxury: The ladies are draped in loaned diamonds, crocodile Birkins, and Dynasty-inspired looks, complete with a police escort. A passing hurricane forces the outdoor event indoors, but it doesn’t dampen the vibe. Cynthia’s shady game crowns them all “Tequila Queens” (a smart unity move inspired by past trips). The episode ends on a glamorous high, though the underlying chasm—largely a proxy war between Shamea and Porsha—promises more fireworks back in Atlanta.
vulture.comKey Takeaways
- K. Michelle’s Housewives Learning Curve: Her paranoia and refusal to fully engage (while feeding off groupthink) mark her as still adjusting to the Bravo game, contrasting with veterans who thrive on it.
- Cynthia Bailey as Mother Hen: Once again proving why she’s invaluable, delivering luxury and mediation.
- Ongoing Feuds: Shamea/Porsha ripples dominate, with Kelli, Pinky, Angela, Phaedra, and Drew caught in the orbit.
- Iconic Moments: The Peaches/Plums split, oyster paranoia, thong bikini shade, and full-glam security escort.
The Dallas trip delivered resets, reboots, and fresh rifts. With K. Michelle promising to address the “plot” back home, Atlanta’s next episodes should be unmissable. What did you think—Team Peach or Team Plum?
