Does anybody else find this renewed talk of a new dome absurd?  I'd love to know what you think.  I've been a Falcons fan since my family moved to Atlanta in 1970.  I loved the blue Atlanta Fulton County Stadium -- I have lots of fond memories of hundreds of hours spent there ...

Check out my interview with fresh Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Donovan!

Woo Hoo! Trixie Found a Home!

I was thrilled to learn last night that Trixie, the gorgeous Maine Coon mix who loves belly rubs and whose story touched my heart, found a home Sunday!  I know several people said they passed info around about her after reading my blog a couple of weeks ago -- who knows?  The ...

He lives with another playful young dog and does wonderful with it! He is very good with other dogs, and would probably love to live in a home with other dogs to play with. Even with all the playing, he seems to be pretty laid back…once he’s past his puppy stage, we think he will probably be a medium energy dog. He loves to play, but is also perfectly content lounging in the sun or under your feet.

Fun Fundraising Event Tonight at Brio Perimeter For Pups

A friend of mine is involved with the non-profit organization, Doggie Harmony, which helps provide good homes for dogs in foster care, or for dogs who are given up by their owners.  A very cool thing about Doggie Harmony is that they focus on placing pets in these homes BEFORE the ...

Titanic Exhibition at Atlantic Station is Fascinating

This weeks marks 100 years since the Titanic took off on its maiden voyage to NYC, when the ship that was deemed practically "unsinkable" did the absolute unthinkable.  Atlanta is lucky to be one of only 8 cities to host Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition during this centennial remembrance.  I was at ...

To Censor Our Music or Not?

This is one that comes up for me several times a week, and I'd love to know what you think.  I was playing "Money For Nothing" this morning when a listener called to express his displeasure that we had chosen to censor the lyrics -- the "little ______with the earring ...

LOVE it! Dancing with KISS tonight and tomorrow!

I can't wait to see my Mom's reaction when Kiss performs with the Dancing With the Stars dancers this week!  Yes, I watch the show.  It's usually not one of those shows that I wish I had  AT&T U-verse for so I could tape it from wherever I am if ...

Does Steven Tyler Have a Stylist?!

Did you see American Idol last night?  I don't know why I get a big kick out of watching the judges walk out on stage, but I just love seeing what they're wearing.  Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson's outfits usually elicit a smile -- sometimes a balk like, "Is he ...

A Home For Trixie

When I read that Trixie likes belly rubs, I knew there was NO reason this beautiful cat wouldn't make the purr-fect pet for someone, because cats that'll let you rub their bellies are extra special! This is the second time we have posted Trixie on The River website's Featured Pet of the Week ...
