The heart of Georgia could one day have a new stadium, but building one may require a lot of teamwork. The Atlanta Falcons have been in discussion with state officials about a new stadium with a retractable roof to replace the 20-year-old Georgia Dome. Five architectural firms were selected last month as finalists to design the facility, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The price tag of the proposed stadium would be an estimated $1 billion, with about $200-300 million of that paid for by public bonds. It’s that remaining portion of the price tag that has put a timeout on the proposed stadium plans. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal in recent days has said that state officials still have questions about the …

We offer a couple of unusual ideas to stock your weekend with fun.
Promenade out for an evening at the theatre (this sounds superior when said in a faux-British accent) to see “The Dixie Swim Club” at The Strand Theatre in Marietta. This lighthearted, entertaining play features a gaggle of Southern belles who began their friendship decades ago on a college swim team. The ladies now meet once a year at a beach cottage in the Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, wax nostalgic and solve current problems. Performed by the Mount Paran Players, all proceeds from this play will benefit Smyrna’s MUST Ministries. “The Dixie Swim Club” will be presented Friday, August 12 and Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 8 p.m. There are also matinee shows on Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. Admission is $23 per person and $20 per person …

Former University of Georgia and New Orleans Saints defensive end Charles Grant plans to open Grant’s Bar & Grill in the coming weeks.

They’ve all quickly moved on, though, but another headline grabber is looking to stay, and he’s wearing a Super Bowl ring. A Smyrna City Council meeting usually contains its mixture of public hearings and updates on city projects and upcoming events. But the most recent affair featured former Georgia Bulldog and New Orleans Saint defensive end Charles Grant successfully gaining approval for a liquor license for his soon-to-be-open sports bar. Grant’s Bar & Grill will be at 2997 Cumberland Boulevard, just east of Cumberland Mall in a former Roasters …
