A note from Sean McGinnis, President & Publisher:
Who doesn’t love pets? The August issue of Atlanta magazine celebrates those furry and fluffy family members we call our pets. The August cover alone will have you saying “Awwww”.
In this perennial favorite, we introduce you to just about any and all kind of pet – from alpacas to lizards – along with the people we call their owners. Enjoy the photo gallery of owners and their “pandemic” pets. Yes, that’s right, during the pandemic more people have adopted (that’s good) and brought home adorable new pet family members than during any other time in recent history.

Our editorial team provides an authoritative round up of the best places to shop for your pets, along with a host of pet-friendly hotels, patios, brewpubs – as well as, our favorite dog parks and walking trails.
Also in this issue is the compelling and eye-opening feature by Thomas Wheatley on The Chattahoochee Brick Company. Post Civil War in and around Georgia, the state participated and promoted the practice of leasing convict labor to private businesses. This story uncovers the disturbing history of the abuse that took place during this time of those who were enslaved to work for free. The story of The Chattahoochee Brick Company underscores this dark part of what was common practice in southern states in the years that followed the end of the Civil War.
And not to be missed in our Bite section is a first-look review of Atlanta’s newest restaurants including Che Butter Junez, Drawbar and The Continent – along with our pick of great Brunch locations in Atlanta.
