Hello again! We've been out of town on vacation and now we have jumped back in to the real world again. There are several interesting events going on this week. First, you don't want to miss "Wine on Wednesday" at City Grille. You will have the unique opportunity to discover the diversity and the talent of Australia's finest winemakers. City Grille will welcome Australian Wine Specialist Mike Echeviarra of Reynolds Vineyards in a sampling of fare and perfect pairings.

What goes really well with wine? Yes, cheese, but that's not what we're talking about this time...FLOWERS! Downtown will be blooming as the Southeastern Flower Show moves into the Georgia World Congress Center. Stroll through acres of spectacular landscape gardens, view unique plant exhibits and floral displays, enjoy internationally recognized speakers, take tea in an elegant setting, and participate in our interactive demonstrations. And don't forget the shopping. This year's marketplace, bookstore and flower shop are bigger and better than ever!

On Saturday, get your blood pumping and Run for Children's Healthcare at Centennial Olympic Park. Run for Children's is a project of Friends, the volunteer organization that supports Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Proceeds from this year's event, combined with those of all 2003-2004 Friends projects will support "Big Hearts for Little Hearts," benefiting the Sibley Heart Center at Children's - one of Child magazine's top 5 pediatric cardiac programs in the nation.

There are many other events going on this week...for more information, please check out our website at www.downtownatl.com. We hope to see y'all real soon downtownATL!
