Good morning East Atlanta!

Hope you’re having a good week! I realized the other day that I never told you all about an exciting update for the Anthem. We sent out 7,500 issues of what we’re calling the Anthem Almanac. It’s a free publication we’re sending out every other month.

The first one featured a letter from your editors, and some awesome offers from the sponsors you’ve been seeing in the Anthem lately:

Here’s the deal… we sent out 7,500 in the mail. We ordered 8,000 from the printer. If you want one of the extras… submit your address here.

Also, we’re finalizing spots for the May edition. If you want an ad for your business in there… click here.

Alrighty… let’s get into this week’s edition of the Anthem 👇

🌸 Park Grounds just dropped their spring specials and the Blueberry Matcha alone is enough reason to make the trip.

🥖 Victory is bringing back the Han Cholo, a pork chorizo sandwich loaded with feta, pickled red onion, and tomatillo salsa. Vegan option available too.
