Atlanta Adulting: How to Not Be THAT Person on the Couch This Weekend
Hey there, fellow Atlanta grown-up! It's Friday afternoon, you've officially escaped the clutches of the workweek, and now you're staring down the barrel of a free two days. Do you:

- B) Embrace your inner social butterfly and hit the town?
If you answered B (or even if you're weirdly torn between A and B), then this post is your weekend bible. Because let's face it, Atlanta isn't exactly known for its population of hibernating homebodies. This city thrives on a good time, and this weekend is no exception.
