Local A Hello all. My name is Mark. I am 39 years old. I live a simple life, with simple pleasures. I am not rich monetarily. Nor do I require a whole lot of it to live. I am a simple man, but not a simple minded man. But this isn’t my story per se. My story is about food.

We love the Mother Daughter team of Starr Luna Cool t-shirts, belts/buckles, accessories and more. Designed right here in Atlanta, and Made in the USA!

Local A love's veterans, and not just the one's in Atlanta. They all sacrifice to keep our local area and our nation safe. Thank you all so very much.

Looking for some great, portable fun? Look no further than Hammerhead Backyard Games.
Hand made, custom corn hole games and more, made locally, just east of Atlanta. They also do custom graphics and such. I just saw a toss game they were finishing that was used at a wedding that guests had signed on one side and the bride and groom had a custom graphic made on the other.
These are great for tailgating, game time with kids, and outdoor parties.

Thinking about what to do this weekend?

Tomorrow night, Young Blood Gallery kicks off it's annual "Day of the Dead" show featuring 100+ artists at 7pm. The weather for all of it promises to be beautiful, so get out & enjoy. Happy weekend, people!! :)))

Day of The Dead | Young Blood Gallery

Local A was at Vinyl last night and caught one of the best acts in Atlanta. Death is a Dialogue rewarded all of those that were up until 2 am with a high energy, fast paced show that was well worth the wait. Jason Lee and Joe Galunas blended harmonies and breaks with perfection. Randall Gregg and Chris Hein kept the drive going with incredible timing and fills that pulled everything together. They blend pop, punk, and rock into a show that moves at break-neck speed from beginning to end.
They are in Tennessee tonight and back in Atlanta at Vinyl on Saturday.

It's not too early to make plans for Nov. 5th. 10 Miles of Blue will be performing at Crosspoint Church in Peachtree City. Tickets are 5.00 and all proceeds go to a family in the process of adopting a child. Don't miss out on lending a helping hand and great music. Both are great for the soul.
