It’s an exciting time to be in Smyrna. This April the Braves will go up to bat in their new home, Suntrust Park. A mere 4 miles down the street sits the recently opened Creatwood Tavern bringing its own form of excitement—the sports bar has the honor of being Smyrna’s only rooftop bar. There’s much more to this place than just a snazzy rooftop, though.
On March 31, the Atlanta Braves held their first exhibition game against the New York Yankees in the new SunTrust Park stadium. The Braves take on the San Diego Padres at 7:35 p.m. April 14 in the first regular season game at the team’s new stadium. For tickets visit AtlantaBraves.com.

Traveling this summer? I plan to go somewhere fun. What about you? I can’t figure out if I want to do something local or go international. Traveling is such an eye-opening experience in many different ways.

My first eye-opening experience traveling came in college when I noticed people from Canada, New York and Washington, D.C. talk and act differently than people from Georgia. It seems like such a simple thing, but it really surprised me. I embraced the differences and took the time to explore the northern part of the East Coast during breaks from school. It was fascinating.
