More than a second location for Condesa Coffee, its presence at 145 Auburn Avenue, NE triumphs over decay, a tornado and the will that might have demolished the historic Daily World building. All are invited to the grand opening tomorrow at 6 pm.

The yellow bicycle parked outside 376 Auburn Avenue caught my attention and it wasn't long before Benjamin Graham was telling me his story of a life nearly lost and redeemed through force of will. Graham and his partner Tanya Swann share their motivational zeal with others who struggle against addiction and homelessness. Learn more about the good work at BigMouthBen.com.
Last Sunday the Ladyfest organizers gave central Atlanta a good look at things to come when a cheerful crowd took to the streets in search of fun and the four venues. While the Broad Street Visitors' Center, Eyedrum and Mammal Gallery are downtown neighbors, The Big House On Ponce lies some three miles further afield in Midtown. Therefore bike trains are planned for Saturday and Sunday. Ride leaders will wear Mardi Gras beads and may be found departing from Mammal at 1:45 pm Saturday and returning from the Big House at 8 pm. Sunday there will be one ride from Big House to Mammal at 3:45 pm. Look to the Ladyfest facebook page for the complete schedule. correction: Sunday's performance by Celli takes place in Mammal Gallery at 4:30 pm
