You probably know them from the constant coverage they get on Fox News. They’re down-home opining of President Trump’s successes and putdowns of the Obama administration have raised plenty of eyebrows. Now the Diamond and Silk Chit Chat Live Tour is coming to Marietta, Georgia.
The event is going to be held on Sunday, October 7, 2018 in Cobb County, a Republican stronghold. The area comprising the 6th District has elected GOP leaders such as Newt Gingrich, Tom Price and Karen Handel.
Diamond and Silk Chit Chat Live Tour Heads To Marietta
Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk), rose to fame during the 2016 presidential election by being outspoken live-stream video bloggers and social media personalities who bashed Hillary Clinton. They have met and shared the stage with Trump, their apparent idol and hope to build support for their unique brand of politics.
The duo hope to play an even bigger role in the 2020 election as Trump has often praised them (among others) in helping to bring him African-American support.

Pre-Game party for the New Orleans Saints vs. Atlanta Falcons football game in Atlanta Ga on September 22, 2018.
Falcons owner Arthur Blank has invested heavily in Atlanta’s offense by choosing to give quarterback Matt Ryan largely what he wants in salary negotiations. The team has also shored up defensive and offensive lines, which both struggled at times last season.

On opening night of the 2018 BronzeLens Film Festival, movie lovers were treated to a feast of the senses with a series of independent films. About 70 people crammed into an intimate screening room at the Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta for the event, dubbed “All Shorts, All Night,” which was hosted by BET Networks.The matriarch for the evening was Atlanta film maven Khalimah Gaston, the creator of Screening Room ATL.The first film shown “Black Korea,” delves into domestic abuse and plight of Korean women who married African-American soldiers in the aftermath of the Korean War.Set in the 1980s, the film follows two children who are dropped off at the home of their grandmother on the Southside of Chicago.Shot in Atlanta, the film stars actors Jason Weaver, Jenne Kang, Erica Watson and Bella Gill, the daughter of the movie’s creator, Patti Kim Gill. It is the elder Gill’s life that was the inspiration for the film. Her Korean mother left her at her grandmother’s home in Chicago when she was just a child.
The screening was well represented by the movie’s makers. In addition to Gill, producer and casting director Genia Nooks was there as well.Bolstering the film screenings this year is BronzeLens’ freshly minted status as an Academy Awards qualifying festival for short films.Other films that will be screened during the week include select st “Jinn,” a short featuring Zoe Renee of “The Quad,” with Simone Missick from “Luke Cage”; “Isoken,” the Nigerian romantic comedy and the Atlanta-filmed BET miniseries “The Bobby Brown Story.”

There are some great spots to eat around the city, but when it comes to sipping suds, many people are quite particular based on several factors. Many prefer ambience over ampleness. Others pick a deep selection over anything else. Still others gravitate toward friendly bartenders. But what are the top bars in Atlanta’s Little Five Points.
With all those factors in mind, we compiled a list of the top bars in one of our favorite parts of the city: Little 5 Points. This area of East Atlanta is criminally underrated when it comes to dining and drinking options. We’re here to change that.
We went to the good people at Yelp to help us round out our list. This is what they said.
The Porter Beer Bar 1156 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307. One Yelper said: ““I had pretty low expectations for the salt and vinegar popcorn and was instead blown away by a great and unexpected flavor combo.”
Star Community Bar 437 Moreland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: “One visit to the Elvis shrine will stay with you long after you, and Elvis, have left the building.”
The Euclid Avenue Yacht Club 1136 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: “The food is great if you like bar food which I do and thier food is kosher I love the yacht dog and fries.the employee’s are a step above always friendly.”
Aisle 5 1123 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: ““No rude bouncers, quick bar service and relative cleanliness.”
Vortex Bar & Grill 438 Moreland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: “Omg…it’s seriously so good with the sweetness of the plantains, the nuttiness of the peanut butter and the savory burger+bacon.”
