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.

A Mediterranean gem opens in Midtown, a bar specializing in agave and rum opens in Reynoldstown, and O4W gets a new coffee shop.

The BeltLine gets a seafood shack, Grana's Neapolitan pizza and pasta comes to Dunwoody, and a Midtown restaurant serves pan-Latin eats in an exciting atmosphere.

Grindhouse Killer Burgers owners Alex Brounstein and Johnny Farrow never set out to open a seafood-centric restaurant. When they were approached about developing a long and skinny parcel of land along the Eastside BeltLine Trail in Reynoldstown, they didn’t have a concept in mind. All they knew was it would not work for Grindhouse.

Take me to a minuscule bar with clever low-budget decor, shove a one-page menu under my nose that doesn’t look like typical pub fare, and I am sure to fall in love before even tasting anything. Whoopsie’s, recently opened in Reynoldstown, checks all the boxes, playful and serious in equal proportion: a sparse 40 seats, lots of thrift-store finds and reclaimed furniture, lights turned way down low.

Any given evening, most of the with-it young clientele sitting down to dinner at La Semilla aren’t full-time vegans. But that’s a large part of the draw at this new Latin restaurant on a hot stretch of Memorial Drive: It’s for everyone. And everyone appears to be eating here. Every table is full. The noise level is just right—cheerful, not deafening. Your interest is piqued, your instincts are rewarded—if you follow them through the tall doorway, set off by garlands of large green leaves painted onto the brick.

A bona fide delight in Edgewood, fancy pizza on the Westside, and a top-shelf cocktail bar with food to match in Reynoldstown.
