you can find this really amazing/huge living walls piece on the side of the u*space gallery in the old fourth ward. it’s really close to the jaz painting we wrote about a couple of days ago.

the title of the mural is the sunrise of edgewood and it was created by new york-based street artist gaia & baltimore-based nanook. it’s part of the 2012 living walls campaign. here’s other great work by gaia and nanook and also an article on the production of this mural.

check out our previous coverage of living walls work by jaz, bruno, niznik & tyndell, greg mike, marco sueño and trek matthews and this great google map of the 2011 living walls murals.

here is another living walls mural in atlanta. you can find this gem on the back side of paris on ponce. it’s a collaborative mural by seattle-based christopher derek bruno, florida-based benjamin niznik & atlanta-based drew tyndell. i don’t know much about these guys, but i really like this mural! it’s tough catching the whole mural when there aren’t any u-haul trucks parked in front though.

i recently had d.b.a. barbecue for the first time, albeit take-out, and was quite impressed. i went with the dry spare ribs and they were amazing, easily up there with community q.

i really liked d.b.a.’s ordering options. you could go with spare ribs, baby back ribs, or rib tips and order them dry or wet. all of your bbq preferences were covered, which is nice for a change. i may have found my new favorite in-town rib shack!

i’ve been working out of inman park this week and drove by this crazy wooden sculpture. it looks like someone carved themselves a totem pole instead of having a tree removed. clever!

there’s lots of fun wildlife to be seen at the atlanta botanical gardens. between birds, frogs, fish and more, you are bound to bump into something crawling around.

the botanical gardens also have various day-plans on their website to keep your visits new and interesting, which is really cool. they range from whether you are visiting with kids, a family, or a date, to whether you want to see birds, crawling critters or carnivorous plants. they even have plans for checking out the gardens at night, in an hour, or via scavenger hunt. they sure went all out to ensure you have fun!

check out our recent post on their spring orchids.
