School's Out For Summer! (In Fulton...)

Your Weekly Events & Activities Newsletter for Buckhead, Brookhaven & Beyond

I was just checking school calendars and noticed tomorrow is the last day of school in Fulton County! So hard to believe. Especially since we just had a hailstorm, which means ice in the pool - well I guess it will warm up eventually! Tomorrow's my son's 7th birthday. I'm truly finding it hard to believe. But I say that every year and am sure I will continue to do so. I told him we'd do something special in the afternoon. Looks like swimming is out unless ...

WIN 4 Tix to The World of Coca-Cola

"The Vault of The Secret Formula" is The Newest Exhibit at Atlanta's Attraction

My name's Michelle and I LOVE Cherry Coke! I'd like to buy the world a Coke, and keep it company...(oh that's going to be stuck in my head all night now)!

Seriously though, if you were to ask people around the world what they know about Atlanta, probably one of the top three responses you'd get would be - "It's where they make Coke!" And thus we have The World of Coca-Cola. The local attraction is about to celebrate its fifth anniversary (time flies!), and ...

Shakeology/Team Beachbody - Welcome New Advertiser

Lose Weight, Get Fit & Healthy With The Team Beachbody Products & Program

I started with Shakeology and P90x close to 90 days ago. The program is through "Team Beachbody". I had not been feeling good or happy with the way I looked, so I decided to try "another" weight loss program (my 3rd time!) and also headed back to the gym...with no success. In the meantime I watched another friend who was having tremendous success with her weight loss progress - she had lost 175 pounds through Team Beachbody! I woke up one morning and decided I could not take feeling and ...

Oh come on, you loved the movie too right? How much fun is this...The surprise hit of the 2007-08 Broadway season roller skates its way into Actor's Express in a frothy explosion of camp, comedy and disco!
