Flagpole peered into its crystal ball and had a vision of what its readers believe
are the favorite things in all of Athens. The 2024 Flagpole Athens Favorites awards
are not really magic; they are the results of thousands of readers’ votes in over 90
categories. In case you aren’t clairvoyant, we have listed all the winners and
runner-ups here so you can see if you agree with the results.
We had a lot of spirits working together to make this issue appear. Larry Tenner,
Chris McNeal and Cody Robinson conjured up the designs for the theme logo,
cover, awards and ads. Our sales team of Fabienne Mack and Jessica Mangum
brewed up some record breaking ad sales. Thanks to Kayla Carnes for lending us
her charms as our mystic model. A special thanks goes out to Christen and
Lawrence Williams who let us photograph their familiars, Mushu the bearded
dragon and Angle and Achilles, two ice cream loving pit bulls. Thanks to Jason
Thrasher, of Thrasher Photo and Design, who peered through his lens to capture
the magic, and to Mason Pearson for photographing a few of our winners. Finally,
a big thanks to the 40 Watt Club letting us use their magical space, and to Ben
and Jerry’s for conjuring up some sweets for our models.
