    Krab Kingz Is Another Great Spot in Georgia to Eat

    Ever now and then, my wife and I like to venture to different spots to have a date night. We’ve hit up Cabos several times in the past, but we wanted some seafood. We didn’t go out for dinner on Valentines Day because we knew it would be crowded. Last weekend, we hit up the Mall of Georgia and rode around listening to my Valentine’s Day playlist. Instead of our usual spots, we were craving some seafood and decided to head to Krab Kingz. Krab Kingz is located in Lawrenceville, which is right above Atlanta and is on 706 Grayson Highway.

    4 Helpful and Great Benefits of Therapy

    Going to therapy used to be a ‘hush hush’ thing to do. If you went, you didn’t tell anyone about it. Now, mental health is so important and people boast about going to therapy sessions. We’ve learned along the way that therapy is not a bad thing. In fact, it is the complete opposite, but a lot of us do not know the actual benefits of therapy. So, what are they? Let’s discuss! First of all, what is therapy (my hope is that all of you already know this)? It goes by many different names: therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, talk therapy, individual therapy, play therapy, and more. But no matter what…

    4 Great Tips for Parents Who Kids Are Apartment Hunting

    It’s been almost 25 years since I graduated high school. One of the first things I wanted to do is get my own place.

After consulting with some friends, we decided on finding a nice-sized house and renting. Some of my friends didn’t like to keep a job so that idea went out of the window. My plans went out the window and ended up staying home 3 more years after high school. My future wife…

If you follow Trae on any of his social media pages, you know he wants to win. Next year, the Hawks can offer Young his max deal, but they must decide what to do with John Collins. Collins has stated he wants a max deal, but it seems like the Hawks aren’t thinking about it. Atlanta spent a lot of money and one has to wonder if the Hawks are looking to trade John Collins?
