The Buckhead section of Atlanta is generally regarded as the upscale part of town and known for its eateries and shopping choices.

Everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, a national holiday for parades, pints, and poor decisions. And, if you buy the party line, it’s a celebration of Irish heritage.

The Buckhead Coalition is hosting eight Atlanta mayoral candidates “it has graded as credible at this time” to participate in a “conversation” later this month.
