Portugal. The Man played to a packed crowd at the Eastern on Tuesday evening. Here, check out the scenes photographer Perry Julien captured at the show.

Stan Sugarman is only half-joking when he says there isn’t much left of the original Atlanta Motel building. After a yearlong renovation, the once-derelict Reynoldstown motel, nestled between Moreland Avenue and an I-20 on-ramp, is now home to an affordable housing complex named The Ralph David House.

A sold-out crowd at the Eastern welcomed Garbage on their 2025 tour on Monday night. Here, check out the scenes photographer Perry Julien captured at the show.

Tiger Sun offers something unexpected in a city known for its creative spirit. It’s not just another bar or restaurant; it’s an immersive cocktail and dining happening that pushes the boundaries of what I have come to expect from a night out in Atlanta.

Founders Katie Wetzel and Erin McDevitt opened Gain Gym in Reynoldstown last month as a women-only fitness space, driven by their experience with Atlanta's competitive gym scene. "We realized women want a place to feel welcome, invited, safe, and where they can learn to lift without feeling judged," says Wetzel.

Thursday’s show delivered on everything Lake Street Dive fans have come to expect over the years: Rachael Price’s bright vocals are as dazzling as ever, bassist Bridget Kearney is still turning her upright into a get-down jam machine, and five minutes is enough time to convey just how much this group still loves each other. That’s no small feat for a bunch of freakishly talented musicians, most of whom met in college twenty years ago.

English guitarist and singer-songwriter Johnny Marr and English rockers James played at the Eastern on Thursday evening. Here, check out the scenes photographer Perry Julien captured at the show.

Today, the average Reynoldstown home value exceeds half a million dollars, making it harder for legacy Black residents to pay their rising property taxes and stay in their homes. But the sense of community pride that Reynoldstown cultivated all those decades ago lives on today, through the dedication of steadfast residents like Pamela Mayo. “I think it’s a good community,” Mayo says. “It’s just a different community feel from what it used to be.”

Born out of porch chats among neighbors, the Reynoldstown Rangers are an engine that runs on curiosity, committed to mapping and marking our place, making neighbors out of strangers. The Rangers were ideal stewards for what we dubbed “Reid’s Seeds.” Month after month, long into fall, past a gate magically left standing open, Ranger volunteers harvested the spiky brown seed heads, dried them out, and packed them into mason jars. Then we waited.

What I especially love about Breaker Breaker—besides the fried-fish platters with thick tartar sauce, the fun sandwiches, and the cocktails—is the location. Unlike most of the places constructed closer to Krog Street, there is nothing conventional about the architecture. It consists of linear-stacked concrete blocks, with a huge metal roof original to Stein Steel floating on top.
