What’s the one thing you always wanted to do but, for whatever reason, just never got around to doing? Was it learn to play an instrument? Climb Stone Mountain? Learn a foreign language? However, a s we get older, we recognize that at some poin
If you haven't shopped at Underground Atlanta lately, you're not alone. The indoor mall has steadily declined over the years. And now the city, after struggling for years to revitalize it, is selling it off to a developer. But that’s not to say
There’s something about coffeehouses that brings people together besides the free wifi . At Java Monkey in Decatur it seems to be the familiar faces and – on Sunday evenings at least – the amateur, uncensored poetry. In this Atlanta Sound we me
We’re often cautioned not to talk to strangers. It’s something that’s engrained in us as kids. And yet, here in Atlanta, there is a man, now 70 years old, who goes out of his way to do just that. Neil Shulman strikes up conversations with stran
For those of us with an injured or sick pet, we know the veterinarian's office is always an option, but what if you've found a wild animal in need of help? That is where AWARE, the Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort, might be able to help. The s
There was a time when you could turn around in your seat at the movie theater and see someone working away up in the booth behind you. That was the projectionist, a person trained in the art of film screening. Today their jobs have largely been
Just off Martin Luther King Jr . Drive in Atlanta’s Vine city neighborhood, there’s a home with a blue sign on the front that reads "Georgia Pool Checkers Association." For nearly 50 years, it has been a meeting place for African-American men a
With its tree canopy and winding trails, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park offers a quiet, serene escape from the city. That is, until the park's volunteer canon crew arrives. A handful of days each year, the group of men, young and o
If you’re ever around the Pryor Street post office in downtown Atlanta around the hours of 3 and 4 a.m., you’ll discover an unusual sight: a postman in the middle of a dark parking lot strumming along to smooth jazz on an electric guitar. Meet
Life's passions and interests can strike us when we least expect it. For Afsaneh Ferdowsi Milani, it was as a graduate student in Florence, Italy. She needed a job and found one at a nearby gelato shop. It was there that she began to appreciate
There are plenty of collectors out there ─ people who fixate on or fall in love with an object of some kind. For kids, it could be a rock collection. Adults might be more into vinyl records or maybe stamps. But Marietta resident Jay Williams is
You’ll know Bob Jamerson when you see him. He can sometimes be seen twirling a baton, whistling and marching through the streets of Atlanta in a pink tutu. He's also known as "Baton Bob." But what you may not know is that Baton Bob was born out
Buckhead resident Lisa Frank has lined the walls of her home with art. It’s art with a special meaning – it was all created by her late mother, Shirlee Frank . Since Shirlee passed away, Lisa has become determined to share her mother’s vast bod
Love is the predominant subject for a form of poetry known as ghazal . And it was the love of Vishal Vaid's musical parents that opened him up to this classical art form. With roots in ancient Arabia, ghazal is traditionally sang in languages t
For many American kids — and adults — nothing says spring like the sound of a bat connecting with a baseball. Kenny James knows this sound well. He’s a former professional baseball player who played with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for tw

The work that goes into making a pair of leather shoes is exacting and difficult. Few people make shoes on a small scale anymore, but there is a relative newcomer. Sarah Green makes boots, and, in this Atlanta Sound, we paid her a visit at her
Psychiatrists treat people of all walks of life for all kinds of issues. It could be anxiety, depression or other brain disorders like schizophrenia. But while the diagnoses and histories may vary, most psychiatrists see all their patients in o
Putting ink to a page is far less common in today's highly technological age. Yet, the art of writing isn't lost on everyone. On a family vacation to Ireland as a child, Emily Canter-Amthor saw the "Book of Kells" for the first time. It's an in
