I’ve been a writer for the last 11 years, with stories in magazines and newspapers in Georgia as well as nationally.  I’ve lived, loved and worked in and around Atlanta since, well, since all the signs in Chamblee were in …read more

Gas certainly costs more than $2.55 a gallon here, but I thought that this was a pretty good picture anyway. I was listening to the radio on the way home from work this afternoon and heard that, radio station V-103, 103.3 FM,  is giving away free gas this week! Yes. Free gas! I wonder if there is a minimum amount that you can get? Stay tuned to this blog for more information on this. As soon as I find out where they are giving it away, I’ll post. V-103 has not disclosed the location or details, yet.  Those of …read more

Yep! My Atlanta Hawks are on their way to Boston for game 7 after a fantastic win in Phillips Arena on Friday. In case you are under a rock or just haven’t heard, the Hawks won, 103 to 100. I read on the Hawks’ official site that the crowd was the biggest ever in the arena. Marvin Williams was the top scorer, wit 18 points, followed by Mike Biddy with 17 points. The Hawks game will air tomorrow, Sunday May 4 on ABC at 1 p.m.

The merger is said to be due to increased airline costs. It is said to help offset oil prices. We are waiting to see if or how much airline tickets will increase.
