    Been a fabulous Christmas! My sweetie came over for our customary Christmas Steak dinner. She showed us photos of the HOUSE she and her young man had just closed on! It's gorgeous with a beautiful lake view! What a wonderful surprise! I knew they were looking but had no idea they had found THE one. After dinner she and I went to the theatre to see the new WONKA movie. She's always been a huge Willy Wonka fan (Gene Wilder, not that Johnny Depp embarrassment). It was fun but I'm still a little baffled as to why the Oompa Loompas were so small. I mean a 10" Oompa Loompa? Everyone knows that Oompas are at least 3' tall!! Who ever saw a little orange man under a foot tall? Ridiculous. He was a handsome little fella; looked a little like a seasick Hugh Grant with a Big Orange pompadour. Go Vols!

    Probably the best reclining seats compared to all theaters. Very comfortable and leans pretty far back. Overall great theater, nice staff, and clean.

    Always enjoy but wish they had more concessions! Sometimes the bar is open and they have a few more options but not much

    The seats are super comfy and recline! But.... It was really warm in the theater and the sound was not good. Poor movie experience.

    The reclining seats take a little tinkering to get used to, but they're very comfortable!

    Disturbing Experience with Racial Profiling at Beechwood Shopping Plaza…read more I had a deeply troubling experience at Beechwood Shopping Plaza that I feel obligated to share. After working out at Orangetheory and enjoying a meal from Playa Bowls, I sat on a shaded bench outside, waiting for my wife who was shopping at T.J. Maxx. Moments later, I was approached by a police officer responding to a report that someone matching my exact description--a Black man--had followed someone through the parking lot and broken into their car. I was stunned. The only car I had been inside was my own. Despite checking my ID and confirming I had done nothing wrong, the officer continued to question me, followed me to my car, and never once acknowledged that the report was false. No apology. No accountability. Just humiliation. The officer explained that this plaza is considered "unsafe" and "overrun with homeless people and crime"--which apparently justifies false accusations and targeting people who are simply shopping, eating, and spending their hard-earned money. This experience was racial profiling. I was treated as a suspect, not a customer. Beechwood needs to take responsibility for the environment it enables and work with law enforcement to ensure that safety doesn't come at the expense of dignity, equity, and basic human respect. Still, no apologies from Beechwood Shopping Plaza or the ACC police department. Until that happens, I will not be returning--and I urge others to consider what kind of community this shopping center is fostering. Update: ACC police department has apologized that I was a subject of racial profiling by a person calling in what they thought was a crime. In reviewing the body cam footage of the responding officer they did not find that he broke protocol in his interactions with me.

    Live Wire Athens did not disappoint! Daniel and staff worked hard to create the upscale nightclub…read moreambiance we were after for our Dead Beat Club event. Everything about Live Wire is top-notch: Beautiful venue, superb sound and lighting, and a cocktail lounge that rivals any in our area. Add the courtyard with elevated deck area and it offers a cozy place for all. So many of our guests commented on the fact that they had never been there, and that it was now on their radar screen. So the next time you don't know what to do on a Tuesday summer evening, drop in to experience all that is Live Wire Athens. Tiki Taco Tuesday is coming up every week and you can enjoy Don Carne tacos and a beautifully crafted cocktail at this local family-owned and operated venue. Check their calendar for more public events, or talk to them about your wedding, graduation party, or family reunion. See you Tuesday!

    LIVE WIRE FILTERS OUT THEIR GOOGLE REVIEWS, SO YOU CAN NOT LEAVE AN HONEST REVIEW THERE…read more We are writing to express our profound disappointment with the event coordination for our 20-year reunion. The experience was incredibly unprofessional, and the Class of '04 Reunion Committee felt disrespected after having paid for your services. Initially, we selected Live Wire based on the positive reviews on your social media platforms. However, after checking other review sites like Yelp, it became clear that our negative experience was not unique. We encountered significant issues with conflicting information about the services provided by your staff. Despite multiple attempts to contact our event coordinator, Erika, we did not receive clear or consistent answers to our questions. During our visit on June 25th, we were given conflicting information yet again, but your general manager, Algy, and other staff were the most pleasant and spoke with us with the level of customer service a paying client expects. Attempts to visit the venue during stated hours of operation were fruitless, as the venue was closed each time. Given the high cost of renting this venue, we expected a much higher level of service and professionalism. After speaking with the owner, Erin, we were told that we were "wasting her time" because she and other members of management had to be involved when our event coordinator, Erika, went unresponsive and we weren't getting our questions answered. Erin also mentioned that she shouldn't be communicating with one of the committee members because they weren't the point of contact, yet she was willing to take an additional $350 from our classmate for an extra hour to set up. This inconsistency was unacceptable. This business is in the hospitality and customer service industry, and Live Wire's conduct was severely lacking. We have never heard of an event coordinator not assisting with coordination. When our class representative was told Erika was not an event planner, we were already aware. However, when we expressed our concerns to Erin and Algy, their responses were contradictory. Live Wire can certainly learn from Algy, who communicated professionally while being informative and addressing our issues. If your event coordinator was unable to fulfill the responsibilities of the role, then it raises questions about the standard of service provided. If this venue could not handle event coordination, it should not have taken on the responsibility. Here's the link to UGA's Event Planning and Meeting Management Certificate. Given that this is a college town, as Erin pointed out, perhaps Live Wire could benefit from this training to better reflect professionalism in its operations. On July 4th, we received an email stating changes to our contract and confirmation that the $350 was received for the additional setup hour. Yet, they weren't the point of contact, but the money was taken. As of July 7th, Erin responded to a message indicating that yet again, misinformation was provided. Erin, you stated in your email that you said the same thing as Erika to our class representative, which you certainly did not do. Our class representative even confirmed with you multiple times prior to leaving regarding the timeline for dropping off tablecloths at 2 pm. It's a good thing that in the state of Georgia, you have the right to record conversations as long as one person is aware, and when they spoke with you, the committee was also on the phone and heard the entire conversation. You also forgot to mention that you said if your staff shared the information regarding tablecloths or any items being dropped off and set up before our arrival, you would have to speak with your team. Sounds like a lack of communication amongst your staff that had nothing to do with the client. The fact that you blatantly lied about your conversation in an email truly shows this venue for what it is. Neither you nor Erika owned up to any customer service lapses, which was mind-blowing. On July 8th, Erika finally reached out to our point of contact by phone and provided direct contact information, less than four days before our event. The simple fact that there was a thread going back and forth between your event coordinator and our point of contact prior to July 8th and your event coordinator went unresponsive is what warranted the call for clarity yet again. And it seems that both you and your event coordinator are on the same page when it comes to telling the customer to make sure we have a great time at the event and not to worry about logistics leading up to it. So, you wanted us to put trust in the fact that everything would work itself out, but your business has made that impossibly hard to do.
