Before the pandemic hit, Atlanta was the go-to city for the best parties, brunches that turned into parties and the place where tons of celebs live, work and you guessed it party. Then 2020 hit and put a brief pause on the Black Mecca’s fun. In between time, the city quietly shifted, putting more focus on health and wellness. Residents started to enjoy and take advantage of the outdoors. On any given day now, you can see people taking yoga classes in downtown’s Piedmont Park, rollerblading throughout the city and in what has become a very popular activity, taking hikes up Kennesaw Mountain. Atlanta is still a city you can have a great time in, but in more ways than one.
MANTON â Dee George remembers a number of years ago when she and her aunt took trips together to other parts of the country.
When they came upon totem poles during their travels, George said her aunt would always say they needed to get one because she liked them so much.
While her aunt died before she finished her first totem pole, George imagines sheâs looking down on her today with a smile on her face.
âItâs really a labor of love,â George said, standing next to the first 10-foot totem pole that she carved, which now faces the Manistee River behind her house near Manton in Wexford County.
