Flying with the Hawks

Take notice, Atlanta, because this city is on the cusp of witnessing history.

Our own Atlanta Hawks are in the NBA Playoffs after a regular season where they won 60 games and beat up on almost everyone they played. Old and new fans alike have flocked to Phillips Arena this season to join the electric atmosphere that comes along with a winning sports franchise.

Now after a Round 1 playoff where they eliminated the Brooklyn Nets, the Hawks are in a battle with the Washington Wizards for a berth in the Eastern Conference final.

Cool, right? Sure, but what’s historic?

The Atlanta Hawks have never before made it to an Eastern Conference final.

In a city that has had some notable past sports accomplishments (A World Series title, playing for a Super Bowl, and being front and center on the world stage for the 1996 Olympics), this would be another feather in our cap and great positive exposure.

A Hawks win tonight would clinch the series over the Wizards and send them soaring into previously unknown territory. Takeaway: If you have never paid attention to or cared about the Atlanta Hawks, tonight would be a good time to start!

The Hawks take on the Washington Wizards on ESPN tonight at 7 p.m.

While our Atlanta Braves are proving that a new roster of young blood yields for some necessary rebuilding, their new home in Cobb County is moving along at a nice clip. {They are beginning Phase Two} The site of the new SunTrust Park is currently being built, and can be observed from Windy Ridge Parkway, Cobb Parkway, and Circle 75 if you wanted to take a glance at their progress.

 American Builders 2017 have been making themselves known in Cobb County since the groundbreaking on September 16, 2014. The builders group hosted a public outreach event targeted at vendors, suppliers, and subcontractors in the area back in December 2014. “American Builders 2017 is a joint venture between Brasfield & Gorrie, Mortenson Construction, Barton Malow Company and New South Construction Company,” according to the company website’s home page.

To check the latest action at the build site, take a look here for video, photos, artist renderings, and more!

For those more interested in the wide-angle view of the project, check out SunTrust Park’s Wikipedia page. {Read: What you’ll need to glance at before going out with your buddies for a drink to talk Braves baseball}
