Gratitude.
This year certainly was not the year
many of us envisioned; however, I
feel more conscious of the hallmarks
that make our Intown community so
incredibly vibrant and desirable.
With our abundance of parks,
greenspaces, trails, as well as
supportive neighbors, fantastic
restaurants, unique local businesses
and quite possibly, the best
healthcare system in the region,
Atlanta offers endless opportunities
and an unparalleled quality of life.
I hope you will take a moment this
holiday season to pause, reflect and
truly appreciate the things in your
life that you can control. Thank you,
I appreciate your continued support,
your business, real estate referrals
and the trust you place in me when
buying or selling a home.

Publisher’s Note:
New Year, New Beginnings
Through all of the headwinds facing journalism (and
newspapers in particular), the space known as hyperlocal
media continues to thrive, delivering the type of relevant
journalism that is essential to a functioning society and a
vibrant community. Providing consistent, reliable news and
information while growing a viable print media business
requires engaged local ownership.
That’s why we are excited to announce the transition
of Atlanta INtown and its parent company, Springs
Publishing, to a new, local owner, Keith Pepper. Keith is
an Atlanta native who has deep roots in the community
and will continue to operate the company with a focus on
being present in civic, corporate, and cultural events around
town.
Springs Publishing founder/owner Steve Levene built a
successful group of local papers by staying focused on the
communities they serve. The Springs family includes four
Reporter Newspapers covering Sandy Springs, Dunwoody,
Brookhaven and Buckhead as well as Atlanta Senior Life.
These publications are produced by a talented staff of
writers, designers and sales executives. Now, after a 40+ year
career in the newspaper business, Steve thinks it’s the right
time and opportunity to pass the baton to new ownership.
For more than 25-years, Atlanta INtown has been the go-to source for the city’s
most dynamic and influential neighborhoods. Our readers have come to rely on our
journalists to know what’s happening: from the city council and school board to real
estate and where to find a great burger.
By producing high-quality products that reach coveted audiences, local advertisers
have been able to grow their businesses using simple but effective marketing plans to
connect with their neighbors. It’s because of these engaged constituencies that INtown
has been able to survive so many changes in the industry. The plan going forward is to
lean into this market leadership and continue to cover the stories that are meaningful
to the community and to do it in fun, engaging, and non-sensational ways.
We will keep it old-school with thorough research and clear, concise writing. At
the same time, we will experiment with new ways to meet our readers in places they
may not expect. One of those ways is introduced in this issue: our new Spotify channel
featuring playlists from Atlanta notables, beginning with Chef Linton Hopkins on
page 26.
Continue to look for INtown in the mail and around town, but also please connect
with us on social media. Spread the word: we’re all in this together. While our names
may be on the masthead, we want this to be your paper as well! Please reach out with
feedback or questions to publisher@springspublishing.com.
Freshening up for the new year
Editor’s Letter
Collin
Kelley
has been editor of
Atlanta INtown for
almost two decades.
He's also an award
winning poet and
novelist.
If you’re a regular reader of the print edition
of INtown, you’ll notice we’ve freshened up our
look for 2021. New fonts, design elements, and
features are debuting this month coinciding with
the arrival of our new publisher, Keith Pepper.
With restaurants still struggling due to the
pandemic, we redesigned our News You Can
Eat section to better showcase the restauranteurs,
chefs, sommeliers, and mixologists who keep us
fed, while New Restaurant Radar offers a heads-
up on where to dine next.
You might also notice that attached to our
Q&A with Chef Linton Hopkins is a new way
to engage with us online — INtown’s new Spotify
channel. Every month we’ll have notable Atlantans sharing their favorite tunes with our IN the
Mix playlists. Along with Hopkins’ eclectic kitchen tunes, you’ll also find some dancefloor fillers
from longtime Mary’s bar spin doctor, DJ Headmaster, as well as my own playlist of “editing
music.” Just search for AtlantaINtown on Spotify or find the link via our social media.
Speaking of social media, did you know that we’re back on Instagram after a brief — ahem! —
hiatus? We’re posting photos and stories on the regular @atlantaintown.
Our new year makeover isn’t quite done yet. Next up: a brand new look for our website. Stay
tuned! QD
