First things first - I know not everyone is a fan of the circus. However, for those who are - a new Ringling Brothers show is in town! I had the opportunity to see one of the shows a few years ago, and it was a lot of fun!
Ringling Brothers is back in Atlanta with Fully Charged. Opening tonight, the show will be at Philips Arena through Monday. They'll then take a short break and truck it up to The Arena at Gwinnett Center for a second round of performances from Thursday, February 23 - Sunday, February 26.
Fully Charged is a daredevil show with fire, crazy stunts and even a man flying through the air (while on fire, of course). Tickets start around $20, so it's a very affordable show!

For some reason, it took silly me a while to figure out what the heck "cell phone lots" at the airport were for. We didn't have on here in Atlanta, and I rarely visit the airport anyway, so I just didn't get it! Well, what they are for is waiting to pick up loved ones - since you aren't allowed to sit in front of the airport anymore. You park there and wait for them to call, so you can pull up and get them. I know, it's pretty simple.
And now, the Atlanta airport is getting one!
The lot will open this week and will have 160 spots. The cell phone lot is along South Terminal Parkway at the east end of the Park-Ride Reserve lot. Users may access it from a new driveway on the right side of South Terminal Parkway.

Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, one of the most famous dance groups in the country, will perform at The Fox Theatre next week. Shows are February 16 - 19 (Thurs - Saturday evening, plus matinee shows on both Saturday and Sunday). There will be different pieces performed depending on the show time, with each show including fan favorite Revelations.
Tickets start at just $25, making this a pretty affordable way to get a little culture - or maybe treat your Valentine to some tickets to see the show (I hear dance performances win you bonus points with the ladies!).
