I learned a lot, and I wouldn't mind going back to go over things that I may have missed. The atmosphere was dark and eerie, with creepy music that made the setting just right. I even found out that there was a serial killer thirty minutes from my small hometown. They provided information on serial killers from the 1800s, from Jeffrey Dahmer to John Gacy. Even killers from different countries were shown. I really enjoyed myself and will go to Pullman Yards for more events.

This review is on both Pullman Yards as well as the Serial Killer exhibit housed there. Here's…read moreeverything you need to know... The Venue. Pullman Yards is a collection of large warehouses that hold exhibits. When I was there (June 2026) there were two exhibits - the Serial Killer tour and a space exhibit. There's also a Brick and Mortar restaurant and a few little kiosks that sell stuff. There also appears to be a tent where other pop up events could take place. There's not much additional seating other than a few wooden benches. The Parking. $7 per hour in the Pullman Yards lot. You have to pay using a QR code. The lot is conveniently located (gravel) and they really pack the cars in. Apparently, they will ticket if you let your time run out so be sure to set an alarm on your phone to extend time if necessary. The Serial Killer Exhibit. The exhibit is comprised of 40 small rooms that you flow through and are divided up into different categories (female killers, American serial killers, investigative techniques, serial killers that killed in pairs, etc.). Each little room has between 1 - 8 different exhibits that give you basic information on the serial killer (some are famous like Ted Bundy and Son of Sam, while others are more obscure killers in other countries). The infromation if quite basic and you could get as much info from a google search (if you knew what to search for). Some of the exhibits have actual artifacts from the crime scene (although there are very few of those-- most have juror certifications from the killers' trials, drawings or letters written by the killers, etc. instead. There are a lot of exhibits that are not actual artifacts but items similar to something -- for example, "Here's a saw similar to the one Jeffrey Dahmer used to dismember his victims" or just mannequins dressed to like the killer. As someone who is pretty well versed in the topic of serial killers with a MCJ in Criminology, I was disappointed to see that most of the information of investigative techiniques and the studies on the differences between male and female serial killers and typologies was grossly oversimplified. If you don't know much about typologies and psychological aspects of serial killing, you might enjoy it as it is an okay entree into the subject. I was definitely disappointed in how dark it was inside. I get that it makes it spooky, but because the posters are glossy and there's downlighting on them, the glare made them difficult to read. Some of the exhibits have QR codes that allow you to listen to the information, but you do need to bring headphones (which was not mentioned on the ticket at all) or you can hold your phone to your ear and try to listen to it. Also, many of the letters and such written by the killers that are under glass are too far away to be able to actually read which was disappointing. There is one room that is pretty disturbing which covers sexual sadism and could be too graphic for some viewers. Overall, however, there were not a lot of crime scene photos or other photos that haven't already been published if you did a deeper dive. There are bathrooms inside the exhibit, in room 6, but if you go past that, you have to wind back around for awhile to get back to them. Photography is allowed but no flash photography and you can't use the light on your phone to help you read any of the posters. If you want to read and take at least five minutes at every exhibit, it would take you about 2.5 - 3 hours to get through the entire thing. I read about half to 3/4 the exhibits (and did not play the game in the interactive room) and it took me about 2 hours to go through the entire thing. It can also get somewhat crowded so you might have to wait to get close enough to an exhibit to see it. Do not get there early. They do not let you in before the start time on your ticket. There are a few places to stop and sit in various rooms but not many. I do think if you're someone who is mobility impaired, they would probably be fine but you do have to do considerable walking given there are 40 distinct rooms and over 150 exhibits. At the end, there's a merch shop with shot glasses, coffee mugs, towels, books, etc. but it's pretty basic, overpriced stuff and it's mostly just the logo of the exhibit. Honestly, it's dark. Not just in the sense that all the exhibits are so poorly lit you can barely read them, but the content is as well. It's just a lot of information about torture and murder that in the span of two hours, it kind of becomes overload. At least it did for me and I'm someone who falls asleep to ID Discovery murder shows most nights. Some of it felt exploitational and salacious even though there's a wall at the end that shows pictures of some of the victims-- it kind of felt like an afterthought. I thought I'd like it more than I did, but I left feeling a little yucky and I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know (except for killers in other countries).

Not even sternos to keep the food hot.  Where is the quality?  Why put an event together and it was thrown together?  We try to patronize black owned businesses, but to present that poor quality is a disservice to us.  Then, on top of that, the emcee was a straight-from-the-hood woman with poor grammar that talked on and on about nothing.  Quite simply, jazz is classy music that attracts a certain genre of people.  The band played and moved as though they were auditioning or rehearing.  During the intermission, they presented spoken word.  Horrible.  We left in the middle of the poet's set.  They even allowed the photographer to speak, thanked his girlfriend, and solicited his services.  I will never recommend this establishment or "band."  A waste of my hard earned dollars, time and patience.  I will be sharing with all forms of social media to put the word out.

We came for a spoken word event called "Identity", a production of the Story Collider, which cost only $10/adult. This event had 5 scientists get on stage and provide stories of their lives and how science played a part in their self discovery. The Highland Inn Ballroom was an excellent choice for this event. Intimate feel, but enough seats to seat a full room of folks. Small stage, but again, increased intimate feel, adjacent full bar that was active and serving customers throughout the night., and lots of lovely interior to stroll through and photograph. About the only thing I could complain about was that at times the AC didn't appear to be working as well as it could, and it was very warm. Even the warm temperature was addressed Parking for the Highland Inn...I laughed when I saw the lot, because it's "THAT" lot that enforces parking if you're trying to slip in for lunch at a nearby restaurant, including Sweet Auburn BBQ, which is next door. That definitely burns you when you're hungry, but you smile when you're going to the inn, since that parking is yours! From N. Highland Ave, the lot goes down sharply since the lot is on a downward slope, but there is an exit at the bottom of the hill that exits out to Blue Ridge ave. Nice! Staff were friendly, the lounge was good for the event, and this hidden in plain site place is worth checking out.

Attending a book reading and signing event - George Saunders, writer extraordinaire, reading from his latest, "Tenth of December" - might be a different experience than the norm, but I thoroughly enjoyed the funky cool vibe of the space. Plenty of room for 150 people or so to mix and mingle, and the wait for the bar was never long. With a $6 special for well drinks, I was a happy girl. Keep an eye out for future book readings here, usually in partnership with A Cappella Books. For an author you like, it's definitely worth the time and expense. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and will happily call a cab for you at the end of the evening.

Recently had my wedding here and it was beautiful. What attracted me to the venue was the style of…read morethe place. Very rustic but industrial. So 5/5 on the looks but where I think this place lacks is communication and professionalism. Jason the main guy I spoke with was awesome! He even called several times before the event to check in. The day before, during, and after he was very kind. Paul I believe his name is was also very kind and helpful. My problem came with one of the staff who was rude during set up and made me feel uncomfortable to even ask simple questions like what time they planned on setting up the round tables which I believe was reasonable since my help wanted to set up decor. I was not trying to rush but come on...The next issue came with no communication. In the contract that I signed over 1 1/2 ago stated that the place must be left the way we found it. This is fair and obviously I agreed to it but on your wedding day the last thing you're thinking of is the contract. Through a mini argument the bridesmaid were about to clean up but Paul just told them to leave and that he would do it instead. This was very awesome of Paul but I only wish he would have just let them clean up or reminded us 2 hours earlier so we could have had a big group help. Due to the staff cleaning up a list of things went missing. This was very disappointing and when asking the venue about the missing items nothing was found so either it got thrown away or taken. Which I understand the frustration of having to clean but my bridesmaid were going to do it so they could have been more careful and respectful of our things. Jason was kind enough to ask all staff and give us a details on what they said but still nothing was found besides our sanitizer. Also when speaking to many, many, many guest, I found that there was no uniformed police officer. One guest who works for Atlanta PD went looking and couldn't find him/her. This wouldn't have been a big deal but again no communication. The place is beautiful so on that front it's worth the headache BUT make sure you ask questions and really make them accountable. But again the place is beautiful and overall the wedding was a hit so I would recommend them! 4/4 stars!
