Ponce City Market rooftops is a vibe. Great views of the city, games, outdoors and plenty of food options

I got a bougie but dope spot most of y’all may not check for but it’s The St Regis lounge. If y’all hit it off at Ponce or wherever ask if she still wants to kick it. Pull up, valet the whip, go upstairs, bust a left and the lounge is on the left. You can order drinks, dessert, appetizers whatever but its a dope spot to kick it and just parlay. It’s a first date so what do you have to lose? But it’s kind of a gem hidden in plain sight. And if all goes well you already at the hotel :mjlit:

Busy road in NE Atlanta could take 1 year to reopen after bridge fire



A busy road in northeast Atlanta could take a year or more to reopen if a fire-damaged bridge requires a complete rebuild, city transportation officials said.

In a city council meeting Wednesday, Atlanta Department of Transportation Commissioner Josh Rowan said the worst-case scenario for the damaged bridge on Cheshire Bridge Road would require total demolition and building a new bridge from scratch.


The fire under the bridge, which was further fueled when it damaged a 4-inch gas line, began the night of Aug. 4 and burned with intensity for about 24 hours. It caused enough damage to leave the bridge, which crosses over Peachtree Creek, unsafe and impassable, according to DOT officials. Cheshire Bridge Road has been closed indefinitely between Woodland and Faulkner roads.

The closure will remain in place until further notice, Rowan said. He added that, although a week has passed since the original fire, safety professionals have not been able to get underneath the bridge to properly assess the damage.

“The response side of this effort we deem as complete — the bridge is closed,” Rowan said. “It’s a very hazardous situation, so now we are shifting gears to the (recovery) effort which we are branding the Cheshire Bridge Rebuild ... but we are also planning for the worst, which would be a total demolition and total rebuild of the bridge. Based on the information we have at this time, the ballpark estimate for demolishing the bridge, designing a new bridge and rebuilding the new bridge, at best, is one year.”

The Atlanta DOT has issued an emergency RFP (Request for Proposal) for bridge demolition and is expecting responses from contractors by noon Thursday, Rowan said. The agency is working on a second RFP for emergency bridge design that will be distributed to potential partners by Aug. 23. Multiple utilities that have pipes and cables incorporated into the current bridge will be relocating those conduits.

Councilmember Matt Westmoreland questioned Rowan about the year-long timeline, noting that the I-85 bridge that collapsed in 2017 was repaired in just a few months.

“It’s really a case of apples and oranges,” Rowan said.

The key difference, he said, is that the bridge over Peachtree Creek is anticipated to be a total loss. The original bridge was built in the 1930s and has been widened multiple times, but will likely need to be demolished down to its foundations.

The I-85 collapse required a rebuild of the elevated road surface but not any reconstruction of the supporting structure, Rowan said.

In the meantime, a detour has been installed and the Atlanta DOT has worked with mapping services like Waze and Google Maps to have the closure added to those popular navigation services, Rowan said. Officials with the Georgia DOT’s bridge division have assisted the city agency throughout the process of closing and evaluating the existing bridge.

The Atlanta DOT has posted detour directions on its website. Lenox Road and Piedmont Road are the nearest roads that cross Peachtree Creek and will likely see increased traffic during the Cheshire Bridge Road closure.

Pool-topped townhomes called 'The Swank' floated near BeltLine

Pool-topped townhomes called 'The Swank' floated near BeltLine
No, seriously ...



A Reynoldstown investment concept is being floated that could take townhome living—and bougie eastside lifestyles, some might argue—to the next level.

It’s called “The Swank,” and according to marketing materials, living at these townhomes would be like having your own personal Atlanta BeltLine staycation every single day.

The 14 units would rise at the southwest corner of Memorial Drive and Stovall Street, a block from Fuqua Development’s Madison Yards and across the street from the under-construction 982 Memorial apartments.

Each deluxe townhome would stand four stories, with four bedrooms and just shy of 3,500 square feet. Elevators, of course, would be included, but the true swank would come via the in-house gyms, saunas, and unreal sky terraces with swim spas, tanning loungers, and city vistas.

“These units are very unique, modern, and unmatched,” reads the pitch to potential investors.



The concept is being put forward in an unconventional, crowdfunded way by an LLC called Strategic Projects Holdings.

The development team has raised $600,000 of a $12-million funding goal via EquityNet.

The .18-acre corner lot in question at 999 Memorial Drive is owned by Second Mount Vernon Baptist Church, and it’s actively for sale at $1.1 million. Permitting records show no recent activity at the site.

Krystal x Butter: Our Reimagined, ATLed-Out Location of the OG Burger Chain, Opens August 20 on Atlanta’s Westside
Butter ATLAugust 12, 2021

Krystal-x-Butter-Storefront-Rendering.png


It’s time to let the burger out of the sack, folks. Your cousins at Butter.ATL have jumped into the restaurant game. Introducing Krystal x Butter.

Opening Friday, August 20, at the Krystal Northside Drive location in Atlanta’s West Midtown area, Krystal x Butter is much more than a simple restaurant renovation. This dual-branded Krystal location — the first of its kind, ever — is the result of a partnership that matches Butter’s deep-rooted connection to Atlanta culture with fans of the OG American fast-foot restaurant chain.

TL;DR: Those little square burgers have always hit. Now with Butter involved, they’ll hit different.

The Krystal Northside Drive location, down the street from Georgia Tech and just a couple miles from other institutions including Georgia State University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University and the rest of the Atlanta University Center, has long been surrounded by Atlanta culture (especially the late night crowd). Before a variety of options appeared between 10th and 14th Streets, there were Krystal burgers, Krystal Chiks and more for anyone aiming to knock back hunger with one or several of those iconic little square burgers.

This time though, you’ll come to Krystal for more than just food. There’ll be all sorts of immersive experiences and touchpoints that capture the spirit, history and vibe of Atlanta, all on display inside and outside the culture-packed space, which was brought to life with help from The Spice Group. If you’ve visited cultural experiential landmarks of Atlanta like T.I.’s Trap Music Museum and 21 Savage’s Motel 21, you already know what it is.
