It’s not too early to start thinking about your Independence Day plans. In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s newest podcast, Go Atlanta, hear about events, parades, and celebrations starting as early as this weekend.
Hear about the amazing career of “The Migrant Chef” who found success in Mexico after being deported from Atlanta.
Rodney Ho talks about Dunwoody’s own Ryan Seacrest being named successor to Pat Sajak as host of “Wheel of Fortune.” Plus, hear why the Disney Immersive abruptly shut down after nearly a month of operation. And with all the management cuts at Turner Classic Movies, is it a sign of bad things to come?
Americans will consume 150-million hotdogs on the 4th of July. Since we’re in the heart of hot dog season, Ligaya Figueras has put together her hot dog roundup which you can find on AJC.com. She also has a list of new restaurant openings that you’ll want to check out this week.

Our pet of the week Kit checks all of the boxes. He’s a strikingly handsome reddish brown and white big boy with floppy ears and a great smile. Kit has a zest for life and is on the high-energy side, making him the best companion for hikes or long walks after work. He’s also smart. He already knows how to sit and is treat-motivated, making him simple to train. To meet Kit or any of his friends, stop by LifeLine Community Animal Center located at 3180 Presidential Drive in Atlanta, or give them a call at 404-292-8800 to set up a meet-and-greet.
