Whether you're taking your significant other out on a romantic holiday-themed date or you're loading up the family for some a quality winter activity, ice skating is always a fun option. Not only is it a good time to glide across the ice, but it's also a pretty good lower body workout. When you start to warm up, that means your heart rate is going and you're... [Read more...]

Whether you're in it for the adrenaline rush, you want to see the fall foliage from a different angle, or you're just trying something new, ziplining is an adventure that you won't want to pass up.

While the 3-1 Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Braves post-season journey have been grabbing all of the local sports headlines, the Atlanta Thrashers have been quietly getting ready to start their regular season in the NHL.  It's funny, I never thought of Atlanta as a hockey town (I still don't) but I'm glad the team is here.  If you've never been to a game... [Read more...]

OK, now that NBA free agency bonanza for 2010 is pretty much over, I'm very interested to get some public opinion from local Atlanta Hawks fans on how they think the team did.  Obviously, other teams have (mainly the Miami Heat) have vastly improved, but the Hawks...not so much. With the summer winding down, I'm not sure what significant moves can be made. ... [Read more...]

I don't know what to say about the Falcons.  Sean Weatherspoon at #19 was a really good pick, but that's about it.  Dominique Franks has some promise and will probably make the team, but every other pick was just...ehhh...blahhh.  Furthermore, the team needed to address the DE position and they didn't.
