Fly Seafood Market just celebrated a lively grand opening in Atlanta, and the team is already thanking the crowd that showed up.
That spot is the original Fly Seafood location, the one that built a following by serving oversized Cajun- and Creole-style seafood boils out of an Exxon gas station.
Fly Seafood Market Grand Opening: What To Know
The formula is simple and loud: snow crab clusters, shrimp, lobster tails, turkey necks, mussels, salmon, and more, typically piled with corn, potatoes, broccoli, garlic egg, butter, and the house “crack” seasoning.
Noodles are a popular add-on. Signature plates include the 3K Plate (snow crab, lobster tail, and half-pound of shrimp) and the turkey neck plate.
The grand-opening energy fits the brand. Hot 107.9 promoted the event with live DJ sets, first-10-eat-free and next-10-get-30%-off deals, and a call for people to pull up for crab boils. Comments on the reel were full of congratulations, pride, and requests for more locations—especially closer to McDonough. Regulars already call out the turkey necks as some of the best in the city.
Fly Seafood is no longer a one-stop operation. Besides the Atlanta gas-station original, there are locations in Kennesaw (465 Ernest W. Barrett Parkway NW) and Decatur (4845 Flat Shoals Parkway). Hours vary by store; the Atlanta spot is commonly listed around 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, with later hours some nights at the other locations. Takeout and delivery are available through platforms like Toast and DoorDash.
Where Is Fly Seafood?
The restaurant is located at 1152 Michael Langford Drive (also given as 1152 Pryor Road SW), Atlanta, GA 30315.
The appeal is the combination of generous portions, heavy seasoning, and an unexpected setting. People drive in from other states for the plates; locals treat it as a destination even though it sits inside or beside a gas station. The new-opening reel is less a formal announcement than a victory lap: the crowd came, the hosts showed up, and the team is already talking about the next chapter.
If you’re heading over, go for a loaded plate, expect a line on busy days, and order in person if you want the full experience. The address is 1152 Pryor Road SW / Michael Langford Drive, Atlanta. Check current hours before you go.
Atlanta has a thriving cultural, food, sports and music scene, with venues like the Tabernacle and the Fox Theatre hosting concerts and shows throughout the year. The city is also home to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Opera, offering world-class performances for music lovers.
I don’t have to remind you, but it’s fun to say — the Georgia Bulldogs play football to win. Because Georgia games are must-see TV, we need a place to watch the game on a big-screen TV while we indulge in great food and adult beverages.
We’re going to show you the best bars to watch UGA football in Atlanta, Georgia.

One Google reviewer says: “This place was incredible! Service was excellent, food was amazing! There were so many delicious looking things on the menu that my waitress had to help me out with a recommendation. I’m glad I listened to her, the BBQ Brisket Burger was out of this world. The fries were really good too. And then she talked me into getting the key lime pie, it was every bit as good as everything else was. I will definitely go back whenever I’m in Atlanta again.”
Park Tavern
500 10th St NE, Atlanta, GA 30309 | (404) 249-0001

The egg-shaped virtual pet that defined a generation of after-school caretaking is heading to Buford. As part of its eight-city USA Road Trip, Tamagotchi is bringing its 30th anniversary celebration to Mall of Georgia on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27.
The free pop-up is designed as a walk-up experience rather than a ticketed show. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. No reservations are required.
Tamagotchi’s 30th-anniversary road trip rolls into Mall of Georgia next weekend
This year’s tour is the second outing for the Tamagotchi USA Road Trip and the first built around a major milestone: 30 years of Tamagotchi worldwide.
Bandai launched the original device in Japan in 1996 and brought it to the United States the following year. Since then, more than 100 million units have been sold, and the brand has evolved from a monochrome LCD pet into a still-active lineup of devices, collectibles, and fan events.
At Mall of Georgia, visitors can expect the mix of nostalgia and hands-on play that has defined earlier stops. Official tour details list interactive games and activities, themed photo opportunities (including shots with the tour bus and dedicated backdrops), a history wall tracing three decades of Tamagotchi releases, exclusive merchandise, and a chance to browse current products.
One of the signature attractions is “Poop Sweep, IRL,” a life-size version of the classic in-game cleanup minigame. Other stops on the tour have also featured customization stations and other hands-on activities; organizers typically encourage fans to check @Tamagotchi_US for last-minute surprises at each city.
The Atlanta-area visit is the seventh of eight 2026 stops. After Mall of Georgia, the tour finishes in Memphis at Wolfchase Galleria on October 3–4. Earlier cities included Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Columbus, the Lehigh Valley, Hartford, and Raleigh. Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles America brought the road trip back after last year’s inaugural tour drew more than 15,000 fans across six cities.
Tara Badie, senior director of brand strategy, has described the 2026 run as both a birthday party and a chance to meet new fans in markets the first tour missed.
That dual audience is the point. Longtime collectors can treat the weekend as a reunion: a place to compare devices, shop limited merch, and walk the history wall. First-timers — including kids who only know Tamagotchi as a parent’s childhood story — can pick up a current model, play the oversized games, and get the photos. Admission is free either way.
Mall of Georgia is at 3333 Buford Drive in Buford.

ATLANTA — Ate you ready to get done game from some of Atlanta’s premier movers and shakers? Business owners, executives and community leaders will gather next week in Midtown for the 13th annual Women on the MOVE Summit, a one-day leadership and business event hosted by Business Women Empowerment Project, Inc. at Microsoft Atlantic Yards at Atlantic Station.
The summit is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 17. Registration opens at 8 a.m., programming runs from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and networking continues until 3 p.m.
Women on the MOVE Summit returns to Midtown Atlanta on Sept. 17
Organizers say the event is designed to help attendees learn, build relationships and adapt to a rapidly changing business climate.
Entrepreneur, author and producer Dr. Kim McNair created the summit and founded the nonprofit that presents it. She said the focus this year is practical, not ceremonial.
“The way we do business has changed, and we cannot continue doing business as usual,” McNair said. “We have to come together, share information, build meaningful relationships, and position ourselves for greater opportunities. This Summit is about making sure people leave with something they can use to grow their businesses, their brands and themselves.”
The agenda includes business education, leadership conversations, panel discussions and live masterclasses covering entrepreneurship, government, corporate leadership, law, public policy, civic engagement, branding and media.
Programming opens with Session One, “The Business of You: Building Your Brand, Expanding Your Influence & Positioning for Growth.” Session Two, “Leading Through Change: Pivoting with Confidence, Strategy & Purpose,” will bring together C-suite executives and senior leaders.
Microsoft will host a workshop titled “AI Advantage: Leveraging Copilot, Claude & ChatGPT to Grow Your Business,” followed by “The All-Male Leadership Panel: A Conversation with Leaders Shaping Business, Government & Community.”
Featured speakers include David Shands, host of the Social Proof Podcast and known as “The Podcast King”; Cloteal Labroi, director of government relations infrastructure at Microsoft; Clayton County Chief Magistrate Judge Keisha Wright Hill; business attorney Joi-Lin Hunt; Greg Clay, deputy chief of staff for the City of Atlanta; Jay Bailey, president and CEO of the H.J. Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs; and Walter Vinson, assistant general manager of business diversity and government affairs at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Jon McKenley, senior manager of community affairs for Microsoft, said the company’s involvement aligns with its broader mission.
“Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, and partnerships like Women on the MOVE bring that mission to life,” McKenley said. “We’re proud to support a platform that empowers women, expands pathways into technology and leadership, and creates opportunities that strengthen our communities.”
The summit, first held in 2013, is a signature program of Business Women Empowerment Project, Inc. Organizers say proceeds support the BWEP Leadership Academy for High School Girls. Tickets and details are available at bwepinc.org/womenonthemovesummit2026.
DDG is taking Hit-A-Thon 2 to Atlanta for a weeklong livestream from September 14 through September 21, building a full album live with chat while different artists pull up each day to record.
The streamer and rapper (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., known as DDG or PontiacMadeDDG) dropped the official trailer today and framed the event as the biggest music-focused streaming marathon, this time in “the biggest city in music.” He asked fans to tag artists they want to see show up.
What Hit-A-Thon is
Last year’s first Hit-A-Thon was a 24/7 week on Twitch where DDG made Blame the Chat in real time. Chat helped pick beats, decide which songs made the cut, and shape the project. Guests came through the studio, the stream peaked at huge concurrent numbers, and the album later fed a tour that included Atlanta.15
Hit-A-Thon 2 repeats the core idea—build an entire album live—but moves the house to Atlanta and opens the door wider for rappers and streamers to pull up day after day.
What to expect: DDG’s Hit-A-Thon 2 in Atlanta
Weeklong livestream, September 14–21
DDG recording in Atlanta with chat in the loop
Different artists expected each day
Same mix of studio sessions, fan votes, guests, and marathon energy that defined the first run
Kick coverage has already called it a bid for “the biggest music stream in the world” and noted DDG inviting streamers and rappers to pull up.1
How to watch
There is no separate paid ticket for the livestream itself. Watch the same way as last year:
YouTube — Clips and recaps typically land on the DDG Live channel after sessions.
Discord — Join discord.gg/ddg for community updates, goals, and schedule chatter.
Create a free Twitch account if you don’t have one: go to twitch.tv, sign up with email or a connected account, follow DDG, and enable alerts so you don’t miss when he goes live.
How artists and streamers can pull up
DDG has publicly invited rappers and streamers. Practical steps:
Tag @PontiacMadeDDG on X with the artist you want in the studio (he asked for tags in the trailer post).
Follow his Twitch, X, and Instagram so team outreach or last-minute drop-ins are easier to catch.
Watch Kick and Twitch clips for any additional “pull up” details he drops closer to September 14.
No public Google Form for Hit-A-Thon 2 artist registration has been posted yet. Last year’s format was invitation plus whoever showed up while he was live. Expect the same mix unless he announces a formal signup closer to the date.
Why Atlanta
Atlanta is both a music capital and a city DDG already played on the Blame the Chat tour. Staging the whole week there raises the odds of local and touring artists walking in, which is the point of version 2.
Mark September 14–21, follow the channels above, and keep an eye on his X for guest names and exact go-live times. The album gets built in public—chat included.

The PGA Tour season comes down to 72 holes and $40 million this week in Atlanta. The Tour Championship is underway at East Lake Golf Club, where the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings will decide the 2026 champion from Thursday through Sunday.
Everyone starts even. The old staggered-start format is gone for a second straight year, so Scottie Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy and the rest of the field will simply play stroke play for the title, the $10 million first-place check, and a five-year PGA Tour exemption.
PGA Tour Championship in East Lake Kicks Off This Weekend
East Lake, the historic Atlanta club tied to Bobby Jones and one of the best golf courses in Atlanta, has hosted this finale for two decades. The par-70 layout measures 7,440 yards and finishes with a demanding stretch that has decided plenty of FedEx Cups. Fans will find new hospitality spots this year—the Coca-Cola Lounge by the fifth green, the SO COOL Zone along the 16th, and The Landing on 17—plus the usual mix of putting contests, shade, and views of the closing holes.
Scheffler arrives as world No. 1 and FedEx Cup leader, even after dealing with illness at last week’s BMW Championship. He has won this event once, in 2024, and remains the betting favorite. Wyndham Clark comes in hot after winning the BMW, while McIlroy—already a three-time Tour Championship winner at East Lake—looks to add a fourth after a strong close in St. Louis. Defending champion Tommy Fleetwood is back to try to repeat.
The field also includes Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Cantlay, and several first-timers. First-round pairings sent Scheffler out last with Fitzpatrick at 2 p.m. ET; McIlroy tees off with Schauffele at 12:54 p.m. Coverage starts on ESPN at 11 a.m. Thursday before shifting to Golf Channel, with CBS taking the weekend.
Thunderstorms are possible Thursday and Friday. By the weekend the forecast improves, which should set up a clean run at the trophy Fleetwood lifted a year ago.
For four days, Atlanta gets the last word on the PGA Tour season. One player will walk off the 18th as FedEx Cup champion. The rest will head into the offseason knowing they came this close.
They’ll be arts and crafts, food and more on site. The festival is free and brought to us by the Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces.

Recent coverage has highlighted its role in community connection and creative expression.

The Southwest Arts Center is located in South Fulton, making the festival an accessible metro Atlanta destination for a day (or multiple visits) of art, learning, and inspiration.
Whether you’re a longtime quilter, a curious beginner, or simply looking for a meaningful cultural outing this summer, the Atlanta Quilt Festival offers a rich, multi-week experience that runs through the first weekend of September.
