Four Hours of Cocktails at Billy Reid
BILL OF RIGHTS

Four Hours of Cocktails at Billy Reid

Billy Reid. Sometimes, you go there to buy an Italian wool sport jacket. Other times, to eat free food from Restaurant Eugene and throw back gratis vodka cocktails. Tonight: one of those other times. The reason: an open house for women’s clothing. But the drinks, those are unisex.

Nov 1, 4-8pm, no cost, Billy Reid, 1170 Howell Mill Rd, 404-994-3144

The Return of Pumpkin Destruction Day

So, Halloween is over. Let’s kill some pumpkins. The spot: Rock Ranch. Will there be some kiddie stuff: sure. Will there also be a monster truck, 40-foot crane and cannon there for the sole purpose of smashing pumpkins: sure.

Fox Bros. Is Cooking Thanksgiving

Candy. So much candy. You’ve... had enough with the candy. Which is good, because it’s time to talk turkey. Enter Fox Bros. They’ll be doing special cater orders for Thanksgiving this year.
