21 Ways To Do Autumn In Atlanta

Ah, that time of year in Atlanta when you wake up shivering, and by afternoon- sweating. Autumn. The season of cinnamon broomsticks, everyone's carnival photos congesting your Instagram feed, and yes, the PSL. (If you can't beat em', join em'. Pumpkin and coffee are great together, okay?) Canceled classes, fall breaks, and fair weather mean adventures among the changing leaves. So loop that flannel around your waist and get ready to check off your Atlanta Autumn Bucket List- squad in tow, of course.

1. Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival

2. Interactive Sleepy Hollow Yes, the Headless Horseman can get creepier in Serenbe Playhouse's spooky audience-involved classic.

3. Coffee and Sweets at Revolution Doughnuts A sweet carrot cake or orange pistachio complemented with a cup of black coffee is the best food for your fall adventure fuel.

4. Take a walk through Centennial Olympic Park It might be too cold to play in them, but you can still catch the fountain light show (and the park is always so lovely this time of year).

5. Taste of Atlanta 3-Day Food Festival

6. Visit Little Five Points Catch the parade, some live music, or just browse around admiring the many festively themed storefronts while thrifting your Rocky Horror-inspired Halloween costume.

7. Get a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Copper Coin

8. See a Movie At Starlight Drive-In Theater

9. Hike a Waterfall Trail There's a whole assortment of them, a shorter drive away than you think! Check out a quick list here.

10. Visit the many celebratory LGBTQ events going on during the October month of PRIDE Pride at Piedmont may have passed, but a quick Google search will render a whole host of other rainbow-tinted celebrations, like the Queer Youth Fest.

11. MJCCA Book Festival Literature nerds, rejoice.

12. Grab a slice of Pumpkin Bread at Caribou Coffee

13. Take a short day trip to Burt's Farm Just a short drive from Atlanta you'll find Burt's Farm, which offers both hayrides and a massive pumpkin patch.

14. Wake up early and get brunch at West Egg


15. Take in the Atlanta skyline on top of Ponce City Market (and enjoy some friendly mini golf competition at the new Skyline Park now that the weather has cooled down).

16. Tons of colleges are doing their fall productions! Snag cheap ticket prices and support local theatre:

Oglethorpe University presents: Hair the Musical. Oct 21-30. Tickets

Georgia State University presents: Heathers the Musical. Nov 3-13. Tickets

Agnes Scott presents: Crooked. Oct 21-30. Tickets

Emory College presents: Romeo & Juliet. Nov 2-13. Tickets

17. Six Flags Fright Fest

18. Chattahoochee Coffee Company While the weather is still nice, enjoy a beverage hot or iced al fresco, riverside.

19. Rocky Horror at the Plaza Theater What better month to catch this cult classic than Halloween month?! It's just a jump to left...


20. Try a seasonal ice-cream flavor at Queen of Cream

21. Picnic in Piedmont Park Gather a blanket and your crew and enjoy the mild weather, plus the awesome view of Atlanta's skyline framed by autumn leaves.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
