Where To Buy Masks Online And Locally

February 9, 2021

4 Min Read

If you’re looking for some masks in Atlanta, you probably already know that supplies can be fluid. No matter if you want to buy surgical masks, N95 or KN95 masks, they can be found on the internet.

In this article, we’ll share some places where you can find masks online as well as local places where you can purchase masks to protect you against COVID-19.

As the pandemic continues to rage, the importance of wearing a mask has only grown. The result has been that store shelves have seldom been able to keep a steady surplus of masks. If you don’t want to make your own, what kind of mask should you buy?

What Kind Of Mask Should I Buy?

The basic functions of a mask are to stop droplets from entering your mouth and nose. But that can be hard to decipher when you’re looking for deals in-store or online.

When shopping for a mask, buy those that have at least two layers of fabric. What you don’t want is a mask that is too large or too small or doesn’t cover your nose and mouth.

For easy adjusting, the masks should loop around the ears or be able to be tied behind the head.

Do Cloth Masks Protect Me Against COVID?

Most health experts say that cloth masks work fine in preventing the spread of droplets from the wearer. According to the CDC, face masks are required in public settings during the pandemic.

Cloth masks also can help reduce the chance that you’ll infect others if you have the virus.

On the other hand, the gold standard for facial protection against COVID are N95 masks, according to health experts.

When shopping for a face mask, here are some do’s and don’ts you want to consider.

Do	Don’t
Wear Two Masks If Possible	Wear Masks That Are Hard To Breathe Through
Completely Cover Your Nose & Mouth	Wear Masks With Exhalation Values Or Vents
Make Sure It Fits Snug With No Gaps	Wear Disposable Masks Over And Over Again

These stores in your local area have N95 masks in stock as of this writing. The following retail stores don’t carry N95 masks but they do have varieties of surgical and cloth face masks for sale.

Walmart
Target
GTX Corp
Georgia Expo

Where To Find N95 Masks Online

Unless you are a health professional, you likely won’t be needing to order N95 masks online. But if you’re a private citizen just trying to protect yourself by buying masks approved by either the CDC and the FDA, the internet’s the place.

Let’s look at some N95 masks you can purchase online.

N95MaskCo.com

The N95 mask distributor N95MaskCo.com sells several packs of respirator-level masks. A 5-pack for $49.99 is a top seller.

Bonafidemasks.com

At Bonafidemasks.com, you can buy from the largest authorized distributor of Powecom masks in the United States and Canada.

Amazon

This Kimberly-Clark N95 Pouch Respirator mask provides a minimum of 95% filtration efficiency of 0.3 micron particles; N95 NIOSH approved (TC# 84A-9042).

Home Depot

Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement store, sells masks online as well as in-store. As an example, they currently have a 10-pack of KN95 masks for $23.

Conclusion

The CDC has advised wearing a cloth face covering for those out in public spaces, like grocery stores and pharmacies, where it could be hard to properly socially distance.

If you’re looking to source face masks, surgical masks, face shields and other PPE, these Georgia distributors have what you need.

Atlanta Lookback: The Slave Auction House On Whitehall Street

AtlantaFi.com Staff February 4, 2021

2 Min Read
“War is hell.” That familiar phrase was reportedly first uttered by Union General Tecumseh Sherman during the Civil War. Sherman commanded more than 100,000 troops as destroyed the American South town by town in the infamous “March to the Sea.”

Did You Know About The Slave Auction House In Atlanta?

One of the cities in his wake was Atlanta, then a teetering rail town. There are photographs that exist of much of the carnage, thanks to official Union photographer George N. Barnard, who was embedded with the soldiers.

In 1866, Barnard published one of the most important war photography projects of all time, “Photographic Views of Sherman’s Campaign.”

Much of Atlanta’s landscape was part of Sherman’s activities. As Georgia Tech’s historical account observes, “In anticipation of advancing Union troops in the summer of 1864, several forts were built on what is now Georgia Tech land. Seen as strategically high ground, land along the southern edge of campus was cleared and fortified by the Confederacy to prevent direct frontal attacks on the city.”

One of the more iconic pictures taken during Sherman’s invasion of Atlanta shows a structure on Whitehall Street used to hold slave auctions all but abandoned. Whitehall Street today is in the middle of a den of old, abandoned buildings, open and wild fields and liquor stores.
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.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Apres Diem: “Great outdoor seating! Loved the huge patio for lunch and brunch. The sandwiches were tasty. They have a good variety of appetizers. I would go back again!”

BQE Restaurant & Lounge

262 Edgewood Ave. NE, Atlanta, 404-996-6159

Here’s what one reviewer says about BQE Restaurant: “The service at the bar was great and the food was delicious. Georgia is unique in a way as they are regulated to selling alcohol after 11am. If you are wanting the bottomless mimosas, please make a reservation, as you cannot order the bottomless mimosa at the BAR! That’s right makes no sense to me either!”

Escobar Restaurant & Tapas

327 Peters St. SW, Atlanta, GA 30313 404-941-7907

Here’s what one reviewer says about Escobar: “The food was excellent! The hosts are gorgeous! The atmosphere is amazing! The drinks are strong! And this place is all out worth you spending some time to enjoy yourself.”

Lazy Llama Cantina

Pancake Social

675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 | (678) 609-8696

Pancake Social opened its doors at Ponce City Market in late spring 2019. The 150-seat restaurant and coffeehouse serves breakfast all day and gets rave reviews

Here’s what one reviewer says about Pancake Social: “Very clean inside, all the staff wore masks and were very helpful and polite. The food was so fresh! I had the pancake special and the eggs were generous, and creamy! The mimosa was strong! Very good and the pancake was perfect- they are large and not too thick, so one was just enough to eat. Will be back!”

Patria Cocina

1039 Grant St SE, Atlanta, GA 30315 | (404) 622-3501

Patria Cocina opened in Grant Park’s Beacon development in late 2018. The Mexican-inspired restaurant serves strong Margaritas, righteous tacos and top-notch burritos. Here’s what’s on the menu at Patria Cocina.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Patria Cocina: “Off the charts. Went here with my family for my birthday and everything I put in my mouth was ridiculously delicious. The Cozuela margarita was beautifully presented in a bowl with half a grapefruit, orange, and lime. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Chicken enchiladas and guacamole were both crazy good. First time visiting but definitely not the last.”

Flying Biscuit Cafe

Atlanta Locations:
- 1001 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 | (404) 874-8887
- 1655 McLendon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 | (404) 687-8888
- 857 Collier Rd NW Suite 16, Atlanta, GA 30318 | (404) 816-3152
Here is what one reviewer says about the Flying Biscuit: “The grits here are amazing (and I usually don’t like grits) but they are the best thing that we had. The jelly is great tasting also but unfortunately the biscuits are hard and dry and I only used some of it to get the jelly in my mouth. The restaurant could use a thorough cleaning. Be aware that they do require masks and one of the staff was telling customers to get a mask on. That took a star off for me.”

Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken

Atlanta Locations:
- 231 Peachtree Street NW A-05 The Mall, Atlanta, GA 30303| (404) 996-2837
- 5486 Peachtree Rd, Chamblee, GA 30341 | (770) 557-0839
- 6518 Roswell Rd, Sandy Springs, GA 30328 | (678) 974-2466
Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken is the longest-running chain serving hot chicken. After expanding in the Atlanta market a few years ago with a restaurant downtown, Gus’s has big plans to open up several more locations in metro Atlanta.

Here’s what one reviewer says of Gus’s hot chicken: “Every year I have the pleasure of visiting Atlanta for a cheer competition. Well we stumbled into Gus’s one night when we were starved & it was the best decision we made. Every year I cannot wait to go back to Atlanta just for Gus’s chicken . The chicken is dredged through a heavenly concoction of spices and flour that just set your tastebuds wild. The chicken can be spicy to some lightweights like my daughter, but it barely even sends alarms to me & sister. It is worth the visit any time you are near Atlanta. You will never find better fried chicken. Let’s talk about the Mac n cheese. Oh my gosh, such delicious creamy cheesy goodness. The beans are good as well, but nothing compares to that Mac!”
