Mexican: El Solecito, Bone Garden
Breakfast: Egg Harbor
Burgers: Village Burger, Hampton and Hudson
Wings: LT's
Pizza: Jet's, Slim and Husky's, Davinci's
Fried Fish/Seafood: Yasiin's/Ameen's

Get over that shyt. Stop looking for them.

I agree, it's no way around it. As long as they aren't doing anything flagrant fukk it. If it's too much going on then leave. Like I said above Me and my wife were going to try Virgils because it's a black owned spot we wanted to try. I think it was a Friday night, but the place was packed with sissies they had a DJ playing music and everything. Literally had sissies swinging out the windows twerking and shyt. I couldn't imagine eating around that shyt. We got the fukk outta there amd went down to Karlie Reds spot Johnnys.

Sorry for the back to back posts.

ANYBODY in here hoop? I'm looking for somewhere INDOOR to play 1-2 times a week. I'm tryna run a few games and get a sweat. Can't stand LA Fitness (and waiting 4 games) or playing with super old heads who aint really tryna run lol

I'm in the Mableton/Smyrna area but I'll drive damn near anywhere

I’m still shocked and disgusted by the amount of battybwoys I see when I come to the city

ATL lost that fight long long ago.

Okay I passed by this spot with my wife when we were headed to Virgil's one night. Gotta get out there and try it.

How's Virgil's? That's the Gullah place, right? I'd love to experience that

Y’all mad defensive. That’s one of the first things I noticed when I got there. And they be the homo thugs too. Like you know they with the shyts

The pizza spot Gino’s is fire too. It’s a little pricey, but it stays open until 6am. Plus they have those monster cheesecake slices.

Juneau Construction Company leads the way on the multifamily component

ATLANTA, GA – Construction of Echo Street West’s multifamily component in Atlanta’s historic English Avenue neighborhood is underway for Juneau Construction Company, after the residential project officially broke ground on Thursday, June 17.

With a total of 435,000 SF, which includes 26,000 SF of ground-level retail space alongside the Atlanta BeltLine’s Westside Connector Trail, a 409-space precast parking deck and approximately 300,000 SF of residential and amenity space, this new community will provide the central residential component of Lincoln Property Company‘s Echo Street West mixed-use development.

The project is located at the intersection of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Northside Drive and engages both sides of the Beltline’s Westside Connector Trail.

“The BeltLine has enriched life in Atlanta like never before, transforming it into a walkable and bike-friendly city,” said Tony Bartlett, Executive Vice President at Lincoln Property Company. “The next great leg of the BeltLine is now open with the Westside Connector trail, a critical link connecting Atlanta’s downtown landmarks, Georgia Tech and the new 280-acre Westside Park. Straddling the Westside Connector Trail, Echo Street West promises to be a hub of creativity, innovation and technology, creating an exciting new place for the community in this historic neighborhood

Some good ass food lists in here. A lot of my favorite spots were named but I’ll throw out some I didn’t see :


Nuevo Laredo Cantina - Probably my favorite Mexican spot in the city, a little north of west midtown. Their Carne asada is fire

Twisted Soul - Already mentioned but great food and vibes, one of my brunch go tos.

Gio’s Chicken Amalfitana - Right next to the original Antico. Some of my favorite Italian food, the lemon chicken goes crazy.

Iron Age - Korean bbq, they have one up on Roswell rd and another one I forget where.

Noni’s on Edgewood. Harold’s on Edgewood for whole wings, The Local has great wings too.

Botica is decent food and has a pretty good brunch, same guy who owns Red Pepper.

Bonchon in Fayette Pavillion and Chong Maan near GA Tech (there is another in Duluth) for Korean Fried Chicken
