Independent Baking Co.
1. Bread (Last Week: N/A)
Because it’s delicious, and it’s all the rage.
2. Ciné (Last Week: N/A)
The local art theatre met its $60,000 Kickstarter goal last week. That’s a lot of popcorn.
3. UGA Football (Last Week: N/A)
Football is near. The Dawgs are coming into the season at No. 5 on the AP and USA Today polls. Suck it, SI.
4. of Montreal (Last Week: N/A)
The longtime local band is teasing us with material from its upcoming record—and it’s some of the most exciting stuff they’ve done in years.
5. Normaltown (Last Week: 4)
The west side ‘hood, set to gain two new watering holes (and soon with less Pizza Hut!) is hanging in there.
