I went halfway around the world and discussed the good and bad about living and teaching in South Korea for one year. But I have reviewed and written nothing about my hometowns: Marietta and Atlanta, Georgia. I grew up in both cities and have lived here most of my life. So now that I am back from Korea and while there fancied returning home, it is only right I introduce you to my cities.
When most people think of Atlanta Georgia, they only remember the Olympic bombing on July 27, 1996 during the Summer Olympics, the first of four committed by Eric Robert Rudolph.[1] Two people died, and 111 were injured. But Atlanta has more to offer than that tragic event.
There is excellent nightlife in Atlanta. With celebrities like Ludacris, TI, Pharrell and countless others showing up in clubs when the sun goes down, Atlanta nightlife is in league with that of New York and San Fransisco.
But unlike New York and San Fransisco, Atlanta is not known for its coffee shops. But that is changing with places like Urban Grind opening up. Located @ 960 Marietta St. NW Atlanta, GA 30318-5590, you will find:
  |
Varieties of coffee
Deserts
Sandwiches
Danishes
Breakfast & lunch menu
Open mic poetry night
Game nights
Agency night for presentations, networking, job searches and more
Comedy Nights
Book signings for authors
Art shows
Independent film movies nights
Book selling and promotion for authors
  |
All events are free.
Not only does Urban Grind provide these accommodations, it boasts a relaxing atmosphere with a variety of music that promotes a place to study, relax, hold a meeting or hang out with friends.
While at Urban Grind I ordered a brownie and their ice chai tea. The tea was fantastic; however, the brownie was a bit dry for my liking. I will come back for one of their open mic nights to see what the artists have to offer. The staff is friendly and courteous and I wouldn’t be surprised if more of these coffee shops open up in other areas of Atlanta and through out Georgia.
