Phew. We hope everyone is safe with power back on and all those trees cleared up after the mad stormy week we had. Luckily we hear that everything is almost all back to normal and the weekend will be going ahead as planned. Hopefully we’ll dodge any of those possible storms predicted and have a rock ‘n’ roll couple of days. Atlanta also has a ton of on sales coming up, so check those up at the bottom.
