Good morning to all 3,208 of you! 📈📈📈
It’s kind of wild to think that more people subscribe to the Anthem than attend two of the schools in the Men’s NCAA Tournament this year…. Furman (2,268 students) and Queens University (1,300).
Another fun way to think about it is that if the Anthem was playing at the Earl, we could string together 10 straight sold-out shows…
Alright, let’s get into this week’s edition of the Anthem 👇
The Anthem is made possible in part by El Tesoro, a neighborhood treasure serving good quality food at reasonable prices. See The Menu.
🍍 Last week, we told you about the White Mustang being back at El Tesoro. Naturally, I had to go try one… Really, really good. Nice and refreshing, not overpowering. Highly recommend grabbing one with a mulita and hanging on the patio. - Connor
🦋 It’s Restaurant Week in Inman Park! Expect special menus and celebrations at Bar Taco, Barcelona, Beetlecat, Fritti, Folk Art, Kitty Dare, Pure Taqueria, Wrecking Bar Brewpub, Sotto Sotto, Wisteria, and more.
🍷 Speaking of Kitty Dare, if you want to try some interesting wines, pop over this evening for another Bar Takeover, this time by Booker Wines.
🦀 Fans of the EAV collective formerly known as We Suki Suki may recall Mushi Ni, a regular vendor before things fell apart. They opened their first standalone store in Inman Park on Tuesday. I used to absolutely destroy their baos and look forward to visiting - James.

Introducing… Remy
Neighborhood: Kirkwood
About: Remy is a 7-year-old Africanis who lives in Kirkwood. She was born in Ntekete, Zambia, where I (her human mother) was serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Remy joined my little family when she was only four weeks old because her dog mother had abandoned her litter.
When she was a year old, she moved from Zambia to Michigan, and later to Atlanta. While she does enjoy zooming around in the snow, she’s happier living in Atlanta where the climate is closer to her native Zambia. In Atlanta, she likes going for hikes at Sweetwater Creek.
Thank you to Julia for sharing Remy with us.
