Short Form Content
One of the lanes I'm considering is travel-ish content, think city guides or a "a week/end in [city]". I figured I'd try to do a quick script for Atlanta to get a feel for different ways to do it.
VERSION 1
Opener/Curiosity Gap: “Ugh, i HATE Atlanta – the only thing to do is go to strip clubs!”...is what I’d say if I didn’t know better.
Let’s spend a day in Atlanta. For my Book-ish friends.
Start your day on the Eastside trail of the beltline, where on any given day, there’s a race or 5k going on. Stop at Just Add Honey, a Black-owned teahouse whipping up lots of delicious blends, or Brash Coffee, a walk-up coffee shop with all your favorite flavors plus seasonal treats. Stop at Krog Street Market for breakfast inside and grab a book at the Book Vending Machine.
After breakfast, head to Decatur where you can visit multiple bookstores like Charis Books and Brave + Kind Books, get lunch at any of the really great restaurants in the area, and see some cool neighborhood murals along the way.
A 10-20 minute drive/rideshare will take you to dinner at Lucian Books and Wine in Buckhead OR Sargent in Old Fourth Ward, where you can browse their book selection, experience a warm ambience, great wine selection, and a menu that promises an elevated meal.
There’s something in Atlanta for everyone. No matter what your special interest is…Atlanta has something for you!
Class/Discussion Notes: There’s opportunity for a series where I do city guides based on people’s interests. Books, music, comedy shows, nature, non-stripper nightlife, etc.
VERSION 2
Opener/Curiosity Gap: "I’ve convinced multiple friends to move to Atlanta and I bet I can convince you too.
Do you like to travel? Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, home of Delta Airlines, is your home base. You can catch a non-stop domestic flight to tons of cities and it sits within a two-hour flight of roughly 80% of the entire United States population.
Are you a foodie? Even if Atlanta’s famous lemon pepper wet wings aren’t your zhuzh, there’s good wings on almost every corner…probably across from a Waffle House. Where else in the US can you go where your wing order tells me about your personality, lit brunch is a hobby, and midnight breakfast might come with a show?
Love the arts? The High Museum, SCAD Fash, and MODA are all within 15 minutes of each other, and there are small venues featuring live music every night of the week. If you wanna see artists on stage, The Fox Theatre features Tony award-winning musicals and the Grammy-Award winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra keeps the music going year-round.
There’s always something going on in the Atlanta metro area, and when you live here, life can be as full as you want it to be.
The Atlanta metro area is one of the few places in the US that offers a great blend of city amenities, suburban quiet, TREES, a reasonable cost of living, and whatever type of entertainment or hobby you’re looking for.
So…when are you moving?"
