Add more fests to the fire… 
Foo Fighters, Florence & The Machine, Pearl Jam, T.I. and Ludacris will headline two days of concerts in September at Atlanta’s Music Midtown.

Organizers of the music festival announced on Tuesday that the event will take place at Piedmont Park. The musicians are slated to perform from Sept. 21-22.

The two-day concert marks the second straight year Music Midtown will be held after a five-year break. Coldplay and Black Keys headlined the one-day festival last year.

This year’s lineup also will feature Florence and The Machine, The Avett Brothers, Joan Jett, The Blackhearts, Girl Talk, Civil Twilight, LP and O’Brother.

Tickets go on sale April 28. In other news, here’s how to drive race cars in the ATL.

We came, we saw, we drove…. what’s better than some grits and gear shifting? Here’s Atlanta by @Pattymayo116 and me, in 36 hours.

Lunch. Flying Biscuit.
Saturday. 11:30 am. 

I’m a simple gal, and @Pattymayo116 knows how to make me smile… breakfast. Any day, all day, no matter where we are, it’s by far my favorite way to get a taste of a place. Enter Flying Biscuit. Situated on a shop-filled-block in Candler Park, Flying Biscuit is a college-coeds dream come true: whole wheat biscuits, organic oatmeal pancakes with peach compote, a hippie vibe and southern smiles.
