I'll be back this week. My last trip was in Feb. 2015. For the most part my focus was on neighborhood selection and ground level research.

This go-around, I want to focus on entertainment as a local.

I want to visit some restaurants with nice bars. I don't want to visit "dives". These don't have to be 5 star but places that have good environments and more of a middle class or better crowd.

As an example: Here is one of my favorite places in Columbus,Ohio (my current home city) The Rossi

I'll be in town: Wed-Sun(Leaving Sunday afternoon)

I like the jazz scene. I enjoy outdoor events but not sure if anything is going in. Live music in general.

I do like clubs but not clubs where 20-30 year olds frequent. I'm 41y/o.

I also like sports.

This week like any other week will be action packed.

Hopefully you got a hotel near Marta because you will need it. If not I highly recommend you getting a hotel near Marta especially for Wednesday and Saturday. You can still get to the events that I will post by car but it will be easier via Marta.

I will post everything tomorrow since it's a lot to post

Cool.......thanks. I always try to get a "Marta Hotel" seeing how I want to use Marta when I get there.

This time I was not able to get a "Marta Hotel". In Feb, I did park and ride.

If you are into the cigar scene, try Cigar City Club in Sandy Springs. The bar at Bone's is cool. Pretty much any steakhouse (Lobster Bar, McKendrick's). The bar at the Ritz in Buckhead is also cool.
