Of course always grabbed a copy of Creative Loafing to check out cool events that I couldn't attend because I was underage and or had no driver's licence. Fast forward a few decades and CL is still one of my favorite sidekick for what is cool, interesting and or off beat for this city of mine. Besides letting you know what's worthy of checking out in this fine city of the south they also have great short fiction written by local talents. We shouldn't be surprised that there are so many talented local writers in this city. After all this is the city of Gone With The Wind and telling stories to each other is as natural as sweet tea and fried okra baby! For the past 10+ years or more my favorite reason to get the CL is the legendary epicurean Cliff Bostock. He was a foodie before most of us were even born! Whether it's Waffle House or some foo foo restaurant where they serve you food the size of a half dollar and then have the nerve to charge you half a Benjamin for it. You can always depend on CB to give you the honest truth in a down to Earth no pretensions manner.

There are some very talented writers at Creative Loafing, and my hat goes off to them for the remarkable job that they do on a weekly basis. Undoubtedly the best Newspaper that Atlanta has to offer. Not to mention, they are free. Which is nice because I would never pay for something that wastes millions of trees anyways. I can't wait until there is no such thing as a newspaper actually. Our generation no longer needs it, considering we are ushering in the digital information age. Get with the times you small minded journalists, and quit throwing that dumb Buyer Savings newspaper in my driveway that I repeatedly told you to stop giving me.

Depending on the month's featured topic, I like this magazine. A lot of the articles (picking out…read moreschools for your kids?) aren't relevant to me right now, but it's a great general magazine.

This is a lifestyle pub and they keep it pretty light and shiny. Lots of ads, but that's pretty standard for a regional magazine like this. When I was looking up their website for their phone number, I was surprised to find out that Atlanta Magazine has been around since 1961. Considering how much of Atlanta is relatively brand spanking new, I couldn't believe a local magazine could be 45 years old.

Tea? Got it, got it, and got it. They also have cigarettes, lottery tickets, cards, hair care items, hygienic items, and just about anything and everything else you could think of. Everything is supper affordable and the husband and wife duo that own that place are incredibly sweet. Needless to say, this is place is my jam.

It was also awesome getting to meet Yelp Atlanta's Community Manager, Erica E! Two Best Friends Cafe and Books is definitely a hidden gem. It's a little tricky to find at first (I got turned around), but it's worth it. The space is cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a coffee shop/bookstore vibe. I ordered a green tea from their limited menu for the yelp event--it was only $3, good quality, and the service was friendly. Great experience overall. Supported a local business, discovered talented artists, and made some good memories. 5 stars!
