The best thing about Mondays is they signal a fresh start. No matter what happened the week before, Monday is small chance to start anew.
And, there are plenty of events going on to make sure this week is a great one.
From a Beyonce concert to a film festival designed to tell stories from within the LGBT community, here are five things to do this week in metro Atlanta:
Beyonce
Fans who missed Beyonce’s concert earlier this year will have an opportunity to get into formation on Sept. 26 when the singer returns to the Georgia Dome. And, let’s be honest, there will probably be a few people who attended the previous show in attendance, too.
