Maepole
Athens-based Maepole, a quick-service cross between a Southern meat and three and build-your-own bowl restaurant, is now open on Georgia Avenue in Summerhill.
Located in a newly built retail strip across from Wood’s Chapel BBQ, chef Peter Dale (the National, Condor Chocolates, Seabear Oyster Bar), Michael Clancy, and Nathan Goodman say they were drawn to the character of Summerhill and its resemblance to Athens.
“We chose Summerhill because it reminds us of Athens. We love to proximity to lots of residential neighborhoods, universities, and the downtown business community,” Clancy tells Eater. “The more time we spend here, the more we fall in love with Summerhill and Grant Park.”

For almost 30 years, the Alliance Theatre has ushered in the holiday spirit with a production of
A Christmas Carol. Based on Charles Dickensâ 19th century classic, the play takes the curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge through the Christmases of his past, present, and future in order to teach him an important lesson about compassion and charity.
In a year addled with unprecedented challengesânamely, the Covid-19 pandemicâartistic director Susan Booth says that Dickensâ story stands the test of time and that the company was determined to find a way to lift peopleâs spirits this holiday season.
