⚽ Brazil vs. Morocco + Starship Friday

_{Was this e-mail shared with you? Sign up here.}

What's up, neighbors!

The World Cup is finally here, and Atlanta is one of the host cities. Our first match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is Monday, but you don't need a ticket to get in on it. Saturday, CityBar at City Springs is putting Brazil vs. Morocco up on a 15.7-foot screen for free, with halftime trivia and a jersey contest. Wear your colors. We'll be the table with too many Casamigos margaritas, yelling at the screen.

Friday night before all that, Starship plays the City Green at City Springs. Mickey Thomas still owns the high notes on "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," the lawn opens at 4, and food trucks handle dinner. It's free, and the lawn fills up fast for these shows, so we're bringing chairs and getting there early.

Saturday morning we're grabbing peaches at the Sandy Springs Farmers Market, though there are markets in Dunwoody and Brookhaven too if one of those is closer. Then we're packing the cooler and taking the kids to Brook Run Park for the first Groovin' on the Green of the season. Free show, 6 PM, NeroSimon & Band X.

Full planner is below, plus the butterflies are back at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, a riverside spot worth saving for an anniversary, and Tony, a 13-year-old terrier mix who just wants to be near his people.

When was the last time you actually looked at your homeowners policy?

For most folks in East Cobb, the honest answer is "when we bought the house." Which would be fine, except home values around here are up $150K to $200K+ since 2020. If your policy hasn't kept up, your dwelling limit is probably short of what it would actually cost to rebuild today. That gap won't show up on your bill. It only shows up when you file a claim, which is the worst time to find out.

Peachy Insurance is Atlanta-based and built to make this kind of check painless. No call center, no upselling, no runaround. Just a licensed local agent who looks at your full picture and gives you a straight answer on where you stand.

Three things worth a quick look while it's on your mind:

The World Cup only comes around once every four years, and this summer Atlanta is one of the host cities. So you've got two ways to watch Brazil vs. Morocco on Saturday. Park it on your couch by yourself, or take it in on a 15-foot screen in a room full of people who actually care who wins.

CityBar is leaning all the way in. They're rolling out a 15.7-foot LED screen, running halftime trivia, and doing jersey contests, so wear your colors. Brazil is Brazil, five-time champions and the biggest name in the sport. Morocco is the team that knocked out Spain and Portugal on the way to the semifinals in 2022, aka nobody is sleeping on them this time.

Best part? It's FREE. No ticket, no registration, just walk in. Kickoff is at 6, but the doors open at noon, so claim a table early and make a real afternoon of it.

Round up a few friends who'll yell at the screen with you and go.

This is the spot when you've actually got something to celebrate. An anniversary, a birthday, your parents are in town and you want to show off where you live. Ray's has been sitting right on the Chattahoochee since 1984, so at this point it's less a restaurant and more an Atlanta institution. The dining room, the bar, and the patio all look out over the river, and if you want one of those view tables, get there early. They go fast. There's a business casual dress code too, so leave the flip-flops at home.

Food-wise it leans seafood and steak. The she crab soup and the crab cakes come up constantly in reviews, the BBQ shrimp over a grit cake is a longtime favorite, and the redfish Pontchartrain over cheddar jalapeño grits is the dish people drive in for. If you're a steak person, the filet and the bone-in ribeye are the moves. But the thing Ray's is genuinely known for is the Sunday brunch. It's a la carte now with 80-plus items, and the lobster Benedict, smoked brisket hash, and Bananas Foster French toast are the ones worth ordering. There's live jazz in the lounge Wednesday through Saturday, which turns a normal dinner into more of an event.

One more thing if you don't want to commit to a full dinner bill: the Oysters & Martinis happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4 to 6pm at the bar. Same view, smaller tab.

⚠️ Heads up: For a place this established, the most common complaint by far is service. A handful of reviewers mention long waits for drinks and inattentive servers on busy nights, even with a reservation. It's not everyone's experience, but it shows up enough to flag. Weekend evenings and brunch are the busiest, so a reservation isn't optional.

If the bikes in your garage have flat tires and chains nobody's touched since 2019, this is where you take them. Free-Flite has kept Atlanta on two wheels since 1978, and the Sandy Springs shop on Sandy Springs Circle is the one closest to home for us.

What makes it work is you don't have to be a serious cyclist to walk in. One recreational rider left a review saying the staff made him feel comfortable instead of like he didn't belong, which is rarer in a real bike shop than it should be. They'll swap a tube in five minutes, walk you through a new Trek or Santa Cruz, or do a real fitting where Teresa measures your knee angle over the pedal so the seat sits right. People bring in kid bikes for training wheels and busted Walmart brakes too.

Nobody makes you feel silly for it.

Repairs are quick and fairly priced, and new bikes run from around $600 to well over $10,000, so there's range no matter what you're after.

🍽️ Amplify Decatur Music Festival wraps a four-day run

The 10th annual Amplify Decatur Music Festival ran Thursday, June 4 through Sunday, June 7, bringing live music to the Decatur area across multiple venues. The milestone anniversary edition drew attention from FOX 5's Good Day Atlanta ahead of the opening.

If you missed it this year, Amplify Decatur typically announces its next lineup in late winter. Worth bookmarking for 2027.

Losing the only home you've ever known at 13 is a rough deal for any dog. Tony's owner passed away, and that's how this sweet old guy landed at Mostly Mutts. Spend two minutes reading what his foster wrote about him and you'll understand why they're so set on finding him the right spot.

His foster calls him an absolute lovebug, and everything backs that up. He's basically their shadow, follows them room to room, and is happiest parked on a dog bed right next to wherever they're working. He shares beds with the other dogs in the house and mostly ignores the cats, though he will absolutely try to clean out a food bowl that isn't his. The guy is very food motivated. He also loves wandering the garden and sniffing everything, because his nose works great even if the rest of him has slowed down.

Here's the honest part. Tony had an eye removed recently and he's deaf, so his foster uses hand signals to call him over and keeps him safe from anything he can't hear coming. None of it seems to slow him down. He gets a little vocal when left alone, which makes sense for a dog who just lost his person, but he's never destructive. He does best with someone home most of the day, so a stay-at-home or work-from-home household is the fit. Kids are fine as long as they're old enough to be gentle around his sight and hearing.

Tony is in a foster home through Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue in Kennesaw, and his adoption fee is $100. Submit an inquiry through their website or reach out to set up a meet.

This one is a little further out but worth prepping for. The city's annual Juneteenth Celebration lands on June 19 at City Springs, the same outdoor civic campus that hosts the summer concert series and Fourth of July fireworks. It's a free, family-friendly event with a full program, and it's right in the heart of the Perimeter area.

What it is: The City of Sandy Springs puts this on every year to honor Juneteenth through live performances, a digital art exhibition, and programming that celebrates the legacy and culture of African Americans. The event description from the city mentions a full lineup, though the specific performance schedule wasn't published in the source material. City Springs itself is a well-designed outdoor venue with covered and open-air spaces, food truck access, and easy parking, so the setting matches the occasion.

Plan it (Friday evening): City Springs typically opens at 4pm for summer events on the lawn. Juneteenth falls on Friday, June 19 this year, and the celebration is timed to coincide with that date. Arrive early if you want a good spot on the lawn. The venue is right off Roswell Road and Galambos Way in Sandy Springs, making it easy to reach from most of the Perimeter corridor. Parking is available in the City Springs deck and surrounding lots.

At the event (2-3 hours): Expect live music or spoken word performances, visual art on display, and the kind of community gathering energy that City Springs does well. The digital art exhibition mentioned in the city's description adds something beyond a typical outdoor concert, giving you a reason to wander and take things in rather than just find a patch of grass and stay put. Food trucks are typically on site for city events, so dinner logistics are covered.

Logistics: Free admission. Parking in the City Springs deck (fees may apply after certain hours, check posted rates). Restrooms available inside the City Springs complex. Stroller and wheelchair accessible. Dogs are generally not permitted at City Springs ticketed events, but check with the venue for this specific event.

Heads up: The source article from Visit Sandy Springs mentioned the Juneteenth Celebration but didn't publish the full schedule or performance lineup. Check the City of Sandy Springs website or City Springs social media closer to Friday for confirmed start times and the evening program.

If you run any kind of business from home, even part-time freelance work, your standard homeowners or renters policy likely gives you very limited protection for business equipment.

Most policies cap business property coverage at around $2,500 at home and just $500 if gear leaves the house. That means a stolen laptop used for client work might not be fully covered, and liability from a client visit to your home office almost certainly isn't.

The good news is that a simple endorsement added to your existing policy can often raise those limits for a pretty small annual cost.

Not sure if your current policy covers how you actually use your home? Your Peachy agent can take a quick look with you.
