5 of the best things you can do in Atlanta this weekend
Daylight savings is on and popping, Halloween is in the rearview mirror, and the holiday season is coming around the next corner. With all the celebrations to come, it would be easy to forget that November has been pretty tragic. Atlanta lost one of its own last week with the passing of Migos rapper Takeoff. His contributions to the city, music and culture are hard to overstate, and we can only hope that the rest of the year goes a little better for the people of Atlanta than this month has started. If you weren’t able to secure tickets to the celebration honoring the rapper Friday at State Farm Arena, there is still plenty to do around town this week.
