A beloved face at one of Atlanta’s most iconic restaurants has died. Flo Patrick, who spent 39 years serving generations of customers at Mary Mac’s Tea Room, passed away this week at 88. Customers remember her warmth, her stories and the way she made people feel at home. Patrick was also the restaurant’s longest-serving employee.
Two late-summer, nonpolitical stories caught Jeff Hullinger's attention this week: The near century-old Cheshire Bridge Road restaurant the Colonnade is up for sale; and the 79th anniversary of the Enola Gay nuclear bombing of Hiroshima in 1945.
