Potent Pollen

Atlanta is a city of trees, and three weeks or so a year we pay the price for it.

The pollen count today hit 1,663, on a scale where 120 is the "Extremely High" threshold.

To help my fellow residents in their testimonials to disbelieving fiends in Boston and San Francisco:

The King of Pops Arrives

Spring break is upon us, but the real news in Inman Park is the surfacing of King of Pops.

Last night we dropped by the Irwin Street Market to check out the scene after seeing a Facebook post from the King on his Atlanta debut. The King's store in the Buddy's parking lot is a work in progress, so consider this a sneak peak.

The popsicles, $2.50 each, where all good. Strawberry/Rhubarb was amazing. The kids had a blast and the presentation of the popsicles is cool.

I will be making a solo trip this week for Mexican Chocolate. See you there!
