The main thing that really jumps out for me, across the spectrum of opinion, is how few people on either side of the debate this past weekend even mentioned the original purpose of kneeling for the anthem.
Bull Street Taco gives ‘em something to taco about
Bull Street Taco is rapidly becoming a community hub where locals line up for the meat-filled or meatless tacos with housemade corn tortillas or the A-Squad Goat Milk Churros that sell out just about every day.

With plenty of hooks and energy, the four-piece channels their love of David Bowie and The Rolling Stones.
Songs from the Haunted Heart with Chase and Friends @The Sentient Bean
PROFESSIONAL entertainer, folklorist, historian, and paranormal event artist Chase Anderson gets the fall started right with a show of spirited song.

From holding the record for most consecutive sold-out shows at Charleston’s Music Farm to earning new fans at Bonnaroo, Summerfest, and Firefly, the band has come a long way since their first gig.
Wowie wow wow: It’s Junie B. Jones!

5 Questions with Susan Laney
“I’m trying to present something where I can find work that people love and marry the right work with the right person. We can improve lives. We want people to find things they love.”

IN LITTLE FIVE POINTS, the offbeat Atlanta neighborhood brimming with vintage clothiers, record shops, and live music venues, there’s a little studio tucked away near The Variety Playhouse.

Classically Kurt Ollmann

Planning for climate change
There will be a great deal of resistance. But the alternative is to carry on “as normal,” rebuilding as before, behaving as before, until what happened in Barbuda and Puerto Rico happens on the Georgia sea islands.
The Revolutionists finds humor amid horror
FINDING HUMOR in the French Revolution might seem a daunting prospect. But it’s par for the course for Lauren Gunderson, an award-winning Georgia playwright who by some accounts is the single most produced living American playwright. One of Gunderson’s more recent works, The Revolutionists, will be performed by the Armstrong State University Masquers. “Her star…
Eating the enemy
Perhaps you’ve heard of lionfish, a fluttery-looking species native to the waters of western Australia and Polynesia that has been become a nasty nuisance since the first few were spotted off the coast of Florida in the mid-1980s. These carnival-colored carnivores are now wreaking havoc in the Atlantic, feasting on young grouper and snapper and…
Roots Up uproots
A major part of Roots Up’s charm was its living room-style setup, but the new space is set up more like a traditional gallery. The layout allows Lovell and Kueker to try new things with the artwork.

Savannah Skatepark shredding at Lake Mayer
PLASTIC WHEELS shriek on metal and scrape concrete like nails on a blackboard, punctuated by the occasional thud of bones hitting pavement. It’s a tortured symphony that Savannah Skatepark organizer Ben Maher has been waiting to hear for almost a decade. “It’s like music to my ears,” he grins as a board loses its rider…
Cusses, Big Jesus, Vincas @The Jinx
The trio plans to drop three singles until the release of the full-length Golden Rat, arriving December 7. Fans who purchase a pre-sale ticket for the show will get a copy of the EP.
Is the West kidding itself about the good intentions of Islam?
Is the West kidding itself about the good intentions of Islam? On one hand many followers of Islam, especially in the West, claim it’s a religion of peace. On the other hand, in majority-Islamic countries, huge chunks of the population are all about going to holy war with the West and striking as many deadly…

Let there be (bicycle) light
YOU’RE AT the dealership, you’ve picked out your new car, and now it’s time for the fun part: negotiating the best possible price. Those dealer installed options are a good place to start. Undercoating? Don’t need it unless you’re planning to make frequent trips across the Mason-Dixon line in the wintertime. Pin stripes? Nah. Wheel…
