Inman Park Festival April 28-30
The weather looks great for this weekend's Inman Park Festival! Come in Friday afternoon for easy access to the Tour of Homes. Atlanta's #1 parade will start rolling Saturday at 2 p.m.
MARTA to Inman Park station is always your best option for visiting the neighborhood for festival. As of this afternoon, Beltline construction has Austin Avenue closed in both directions in front of Krog Street Market. If you can't take the train, please Uber in to the edge of the neighborhood.
Our whole crew is in the parade this year, so we are forgoing our usual open house. Please drop a text if you you are coming in the 'hood anytime this weekend. We look forward to seeing you.

Perfect Gift for Atlanta History Fans
Chad Elkins of 4SQATL and NASA digital fame launch his 25th Century Games start up with a bang last week. His 1,000 piece puzzle based on a balloon-eye view of 1892 Atlanta is available as a Kickstarter campaign through August 15.
Augustus Koch was born in Germany in 1840. He moved to the US before the Civil War where he served in The Corps of Engineers. After the war, he traveled to cities around the country and illustrated Bird’s Eye View maps from hot air balloons. Augustus drew a series of perspective based maps from dozens of locations. In 1892, he tied off his hot air balloon near Grant Park and created this beautifully drawn map of Atlanta and the surrounding area complete with notable locations and street names.
Inman Park and the other historic Atlanta neighborhoods are beautifully detailed on the puzzle.
The campaign met its target twenty four hours after it went live, guaranteeing that your $20 contribution will land a treasure for you or a killer gift.

We Love You Atlanta!
Via Garden & Gun Blog |
I've heard Garden & Gun referred to as the lifestyle magazine for the nonexistent South, but past the ads for $100,000 shotguns and equestrian wear is terrific content.
Reminded of this with today's shout out post about Atlanta. Grab the October issue, packed with Inman Park places and personalities, and give the ATL a high five.
