The putting area is spacious. Of course it is outdoors, but they offer large heat lamps directly over the seating area. There are two levels to the seating area. The first is a high bar with chairs. The second is a u-shaped outdoor sofa with a center table. All food and drink orders can be placed from your bay. For each game, each player gets 20 chances to “put the ball in the hole”. You can take all 20 swings in a row or rotate players as you’d like. If you aren’t interested in playing any of the game options, you can also dine in or have a round at the bar. Enjoy!”

Summer Wilson of Atlanta, Georgia says she has her goals on a micro home on the city’s south side.
“I’ve pretty much just been doing my research, looking for the right area and situation,” the Maryland native says. Micro homes are becoming a literal cottage industry around Georgia’s largest city.
Where Are the Micro Home Communities in Atlanta?
In the Atlanta area, South Park Cottages is a notable micro-home community, offering 29 homes on a 2.5-acre property.
It’s located about 10 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and is known for its modern, smaller homes and community focus. Techie Homes, founded by Booker T. Washington, is also developing micro-home communities like Union Park Cottages and South Park Cottages in the Atlanta area.
South Park Cottages
The South Park Cottages in College Park, Georgia, have limited availability (three were listed as of this writing) priced between $200,000 and $300,000.
- Location: College Park, near Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
- Features: 29 micro homes, walking trails.
- Home sizes: 400-600 square feet.
- Price range: Under $300,000.
- Developer: Booker T. Washington.
Union Park Cottages
Union Park Cottages offer a micro-home community with a technology lab and coffee. The structures also offer financing programs that include $5,000 in builder purchases, which can be utilized for closing cost or upgrades.
Mustard Seed Tiny Homes
At Mustard Seed Tiny Homes in Buford, Georgia, buyers get a premium tiny house in modular structures. These are permanently placed homes that become a landmark in the community and city.
The homes are small, but are known to be high-end designed, yet affordable. They are built with high quality materials and modern amenities.
Tiny Homes of The South
Venture to Tiny Homes of the South and you’ll find park model tiny homes and connects with manufacturers for cost-effective options.
Heritage Housing
Heritage Housing: A mobile home dealership with a wide array of new mobile homes for sale.
Wilson, mentioned earlier, says she prefers a micro home because of the cost savings compared to a regular-sized home.
“What I like most is that tiny homes are portable, which is something I’ve researched. They give me more flexibility to relocate without the commitment of a permanent residence, if that’s what I choose to do,” she says.
Micro Homes: Pros and Cons
Here’s a table outlining the pros and cons of living in a tiny home:
Pros Cons Affordability: Lower purchase price and reduced maintenance costs compared to traditional homes. Limited Space: Restricted room for belongings, furniture, and living activities, which can feel cramped. Lower Utility Costs: Smaller space means reduced energy consumption for heating, cooling, and electricity. Storage Challenges: Minimal storage space can make organization and clutter management difficult. Environmental Impact: Smaller footprint reduces resource use and carbon emissions. Lifestyle Adjustments: Requires significant downsizing and adaptation to minimalist living. Mobility: Many tiny homes (especially on wheels) allow for easy relocation. Zoning Restrictions: Local laws may limit where tiny homes can be placed or lived in long-term. Simpler Living: Encourages minimalism, reducing clutter and focusing on essentials. Privacy Issues: Limited space can make it hard to host guests or find personal space in shared living. Quick Build Time: Tiny homes can be built or purchased faster than traditional homes. Resale Value: May have lower resale value or a smaller market compared to conventional homes. Customizability: Easier to design or personalize a small space to fit specific needs. Utility Limitations: Some tiny homes lack full plumbing, electricity, or modern amenities. This table reflects common considerations based on why people like and dislike micro homes, although considerations may vary based on specifics like location, materials and climate.

The Atlanta Beltline is seeking a qualified developer to construction affordable homes on the city’s Westside.
Specifically, the ABI (Atlanta Beltline Inc.) wants a builder to assist in the first phase of developing the Bankhead/Historic Westin Heights neighborhood, which is adjacent to the Westside Trail.
ABI’s primary goals in issuing the RFP (request for proposal) is to get a company that aligns with its vision for advancing affordable housing, economic opportunity, and neighborhood connectivity.
The project would transform a long-vacant site into an accessible, green, walkable community. This phase will kick start the development of the entire 425 Chappell Road site.
Development of the full property is expected to occur in phases, across 10 blocks. The vision for the first phase will take place across blocks 1-5, with road access from Chappell Road and North Avenue, and will prioritize single-family and lower-density, smaller-scale multifamily designed to seamlessly integrate into the surrounding single-family neighborhood.
The development will include pedestrian oriented commercial space that will serve the existing and future community.
The conceptual site plan for the property envisions the first phase of development with as many as 150 new homes offered for-sale and nearly 5,000 square feet of neighborhood-scale commercial space targeted toward local small businesses.
The plan also includes a Beltline spur trail that will extend from the Beltline Westside Trail – Segment 4, through the adjacent City of Atlanta property, and across North Avenue to the first phase of the development, further enhancing access and connectivity for Atlantans to the trail and transit network.
“The development of 425 Chappell Road helps realize the Beltline’s long-term strategy of strategic site acquisition as a means to deliver affordable and attainable housing options and affordable commercial spaces for our local small businesses,” Dennis Richards, Vice President of Housing Policy and Development of the Beltline, says in a news release.
“This development will offer current and future residents’ equitable access to affordable homes, greenspaces, transit, and economic opportunity. This will be an inclusive development and a shining example of the Beltline being a place where all Atlantans have an opportunity to live, work, and thrive.”
Purchased in 2021, the full Chappell Road site spans 31 acres across 13 contiguous parcels, making it the largest land acquisition in Beltline history. The site sits adjacent to 30 acres of City of Atlanta-owned property.
Community engagement was central to the development plans for the site. Engagement took place through public meetings, outreach, NPU visits, neighborhood association presentations, and through a Beltline convened Stakeholder Engagement Committee. The Beltline has completed entitlement of the property, including approval from the Atlanta Regional Commissions’ Development of Regional Impact program. The site is zoned PD-MU (Planned Development – Mixed Use).

Don’t look now but your fellow motorist might not be a person, but a computer! Driverless rideshares have appeared in the Atlanta area over the past month and you might have seen them on the highways.
How To Get a Driverless Rideshare in Atlanta
Both Lyft and Uber have partnered with autonomous vehicle companies to offer robotaxi services in metro Atlanta:
Lyft and May Mobility
Lyft, in collaboration with May Mobility, has rolled out autonomous Toyota Sienna minivans in Atlanta starting in summer 2025. These vehicles operate in designated areas of metro Atlanta, initially with safety operators, transitioning to fully autonomous operation over time.
The service is expanding based on data and user demand, with May Mobility already conducting fully driverless operations in Peachtree Corners, a suburb of Atlanta.
Uber and Waymo
Uber, partnered with Waymo, launched driverless rides in Atlanta in summer 2025, covering a 65-square-mile area from Downtown to Buckhead to Capitol View.
The service uses Waymo’s fully autonomous, all-electric Jaguar I-PACE vehicles. Riders can join an interest list via the Uber app to access these rides, with pricing equivalent to UberX, Uber Green, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric.
When I joined the Waymo program via Uber, it put me on a wait list.
Additionally, a pilot program by Glydways is bringing self-driving podcars to the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport area, connecting the airport SkyTrain to the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park, aimed at addressing transportation gaps for airport workers.
These services are operational, with ongoing expansions planned.
Should You Do a Driverless Rideshare: Pros and Cons
Pros Cons Increased Safety: Autonomous vehicles use advanced sensors and AI to reduce human error, which causes over 90% of crashes. Waymo’s data shows a significant reduction in collision rates compared to human drivers. Technical Limitations: Systems may struggle in complex scenarios like heavy rain, construction zones, or unpredictable pedestrian behavior, potentially leading to delays or errors. Cost Efficiency: No driver salaries reduce operational costs, potentially lowering fares over time. Uber and Waymo’s pricing in Atlanta is comparable to standard rideshares, with potential for future savings. High Initial Costs: Development and maintenance of autonomous fleets are expensive, which may keep fares high initially or limit service expansion. 24/7 Availability: Driverless vehicles can operate continuously without needing breaks, improving service reliability, especially during off-peak hours. Limited Coverage Areas: Services are restricted to specific zones (e.g., Waymo’s 65-square-mile area in Atlanta), limiting accessibility compared to traditional rideshares. Consistent Driving Experience: Autonomous vehicles follow programmed routes and traffic rules, offering predictable, smooth rides without erratic driving. Job Displacement: Widespread adoption could reduce jobs for human drivers, impacting livelihoods in the rideshare industry. Environmental Benefits: Many autonomous fleets, like Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACE, reduce emissions compared to gas-powered vehicles, supporting sustainability. Regulatory and Legal Challenges: Varying state and local regulations can complicate operations, and liability in accidents remains a legal gray area. Accessibility: Driverless rideshares can serve people with disabilities or those unable to drive, with features like automated boarding assistance. Public Trust Issues: Some passengers feel uneasy without a human driver, and incidents involving autonomous vehicles can erode confidence. Data-Driven Improvements: Continuous data collection enhances navigation and efficiency, as seen with May Mobility’s iterative expansion in Atlanta. Connectivity Dependence: Reliance on real-time data and communication networks makes vehicles vulnerable to outages or cyberattacks. As you can see, there are general advantages and challenges of driverless rideshares, especially with their widespread deployment in Atlanta and broader industr expansion plans.

At this point, Atlanta cuisine has become indispensable to the South. The largest city in Georgia’s food festivals and culinary events set the tone for the entire Southeast.
Only in Atlanta can the casual observer find specialty food shops, off-the-beaten-path restaurants, farmers’ markets and farm stands all at an affordable price point.
But Atlanta also has trendy restaurants, pop-ups and time-tested landmarks that continue to draw big crowds. If you want meal prep services, Atlanta has those too.

There was much excitement on Thursday night as Atlanta Falcons fans converged on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown for a 2025 NFL Draft Party.
Fans sat through 14 picks before the Falcons picked former Georgia Bulldog defenseman Jalon Walker. With the 26th pick, the Falcons James Pearce Jr.
With the Falcons, Pearce joins fellow 2025 draftee Jalon Walker to bolster a pass rush that ranked 31st in the NFL with 31 sacks in 2024. His speed and pass-rush toolkit make him an immediate situational rusher with the potential to develop into an every-down player.
Minutes after Walker was drafted, his college coach, Georgia’s Kirby Smart, posted on social media about how proud he was.
Congrats Jalon Walker your dream has finally come true, and we are so grateful to have been a part of it !! Your parents have done an unbelievable job raising you, and I know they are so proud,” Kirby posted on X. “The Atlanta Falcons got a great player and an even better person. You’re a dawg for life. GO DAWGS!!”
A native of Conway, South Carolina, he attended Salisbury High School in North Carolina, where he was named the 2021 North Carolina Gatorade Football Player of the Year after recording 79 tackles and eight sacks. A five-star recruit and 2022 Under Armour All-American, Walker committed to Georgia over Clemson, North Carolina, and others.
At Georgia, Walker played three seasons (2022–2024). As a true freshman in 2022, he appeared in all 15 games, contributing nine tackles and one sack during Georgia’s National Championship win over TCU. In 2023, as a sophomore, he played in all 14 games, leading the team with five sacks and recording 20 tackles.
In 2024, his junior year, he became a starter, earning the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker and first-team All-American honors from multiple outlets, including Sports Illustrated and ESPN. He finished his college career with 89 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and 12.5 sacks, notably recording three sacks and seven tackles in a single game against No. 1 Texas.
What Scouts Said About Jalon Walker
Walker’s versatility as both an off-ball linebacker and edge rusher, combined with his speed, athleticism, and physicality, made him a standout. Despite limited starting experience (11 starts), his instincts and high motor earned him comparisons to NFL players like Anthony Barr and Reggie Ragland. He declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, where he’s projected as a first-round pick, ranked as high as No. 10 by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. Off the field, Walker is a high-character student-athlete with a 4.0 GPA, aspiring to become an orthodontist, and has done voiceover work for SEC Network commercials.
Falcons Pick Pearce After Trading Up From 2nd Round
At Tennessee, Pearce emerged as a premier edge rusher, earning first-team All-SEC honors in 2023 and 2024. As a freshman in 2022, he played all 13 games, recording five tackles and two sacks. His 2023 sophomore season was a breakout, with 10 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss, ranking third and fifth in the SEC, respectively.
In 2024, he started nine of 13 games, leading the team with 7.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, and 55 pressures (second in the SEC per PFF). His career totals include 71 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 19.5 sacks, and 113 quarterback pressures. At the 2025 NFL Combine, Pearce ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash (fastest among edge rushers) with a 1.56-second 10-yard split, showcasing elite speed and athleticism.
What Scouts Said About James Pearce Jr.
Pearce’s strengths include explosive first-step quickness, bend, and a 23% pass-rush win rate in 2024 (second-best in the FBS).
However, he needs to improve run defense and block recognition, as he struggles against pulling linemen and lacks power to consistently defeat blocks. Off-field concerns, including a 2023 arrest for speeding and driving with a suspended license, have raised questions about his maturity, though he’s described himself as a “great teammate” with a “good heart.”
