Every Atlanta business owner knows the sound. A delivery dolly clips the front pane. A rock comes off Peachtree at the wrong angle. Or a cold morning finds the hairline crack that has been creeping across the glass since spring, and by nine o'clock the front of the shop isn't a window anymore, it's a problem. Storefront glass repair is the least interesting line on an operator's list right up until the morning it is the only one. Nobody wants a compromised pane standing there while customers walk past it, and nobody sleeps well with an opening that cannot be closed. The order of work goes about like this: look at what broke, get the opening buttoned up, ready the frame, then cut the replacement. Tempered is the default. Laminated when security outweighs cost. And when the seal failed rather than the glass, the insulated unit gets swapped instead of patched over. Plenty of repairs close out the same day, and when a panel has to be fabricated, the opening gets secured in the meantime so the front is covered while the glass is being made. That kind of response is what&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/MG+Glass,+Inc./data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x18749f952ffb558a?sa=X&amp;ved=1t:2428&amp;hl=en&amp;ictx=111" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">the Chamblee glass shop MG Glass</a> built its commercial side around.

Once the front of the house is handled, the inside starts asking for attention. Plenty of office leases signed around Midtown and Buckhead came with an open floor plate and a quiet promise that somebody would sort out the walls later. Later has a way of arriving in Q4. Drywall answers the question permanently, slowly, and with a great deal of dust, which is awkward when the question keeps changing. Glass does the same job and lets the daylight keep moving across the floor, which is why it turns up in law firms and medical suites, in therapy rooms, in coworking floors and the multi tenant buildings ringing the Perimeter. Panels ride in channels top and bottom, tied into structure rather than tacked to whatever is handy. Doors get hardware sized to what the glass actually weighs, in whatever finish the rest of the suite is already wearing. Clear when sightlines are the point. Frosted or textured when a conference room needs privacy without going dark. Laminated when the real goal is keeping a phone call from traveling. The install itself is quick, one to two days once the panels are ready, though the measuring and ordering ahead of that runs closer to a week or two. Still a shorter runway than a framing crew, which is why a conversation with&nbsp;<a href="https://patch.com/users/mg-glass/classifieds" rel="noopener" target="_blank">MG Glass</a> tends to be the faster first call.

Atlanta's studio scene does not slow down for much, and neither do the walls it trains against. A boutique gym on the Westside. A dance floor in Decatur. A yoga room off the BeltLine, a salon chair in Virginia Highland. Every one of them lives or dies on whether the reflection is honest, and a cheap mirror gives itself away fast to anyone who spends an hour a day looking into one. Commercial and gym mirrors get cut to the room instead of pulled off a shelf, with low iron glass when color accuracy matters and polished or beveled edges depending on how finished the space needs to read. Thicker panels where the traffic justifies the rigidity. Installation means locating studs, reading the wall material, and using commercial grade channels, clips, and adhesives rated to carry a large format panel for years rather than seasons. Safety backing is worth asking about; it helps hold fragments together if the glass ever takes an impact. And a mirror wall is no bargain to a studio that lost a week of classes over it, which is why&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/MG+Glass,+Inc./data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x18749f952ffb558a?sa=X&amp;ved=1t:2428&amp;hl=en&amp;ictx=111" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">the commercial mirror crew at MG Glass</a> works around the class schedule instead of the other way around.

Here is the thing about the next few months. The stretch between now and the holidays is when Atlanta operators tend to discover that the repair they meant to handle in October is competing with everyone else who also meant to handle theirs in October. Estimates are free. Response is same day. The walkthrough sorts what genuinely needs replacing from what can hold until spring, which is a useful line to have drawn before a quarterly budget meeting.

Storefront Glass Repair in Atlanta: What Every Shop, Studio, & Suite Should Handle Before Fall Rush

Legendary Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell will headline the inaugural <a href="https://www.lanierislands.com/special-events/songwriter-festival/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival</a> at Lanier Islands Resort November 13-15, 2026. Presented by Ingles, the three-day festival will bring acclaimed Southern songwriters &ndash; including Randall Bramblett, Jimmy Hall, Joanna Cotten, and two dozen additional artists to the resort for a can&rsquo;t-miss musical weekend. As the trees reflect fiery shades of red, orange, and gold on the waters of Lake Lanier, Leavell and his fellow musicians will play host to a series of events on multiple stages throughout the Islands &ndash; including a main lakeside concert on Saturday, November 14. Designed to celebrate the legacy of songwriters and invest in Georgia&rsquo;s next generation of music creators, the festival will allocate a portion of its proceeds to the Georgia Mountain Food Bank, the Georgia Music Foundation, the Jarrard Burch Songwriter Foundation, and other worthy charities.
&ldquo;Bringing music lovers and fall colors together, the Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival will present an opportunity to hear hit songs and learn the stories behind the lyrics from their original songwriters,&rdquo; said Jody Jackson, Executive Director of <a href="https://songwritersatl.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Songwriters ATL</a> &ndash; the event's producer. &ldquo;Between its scenic waterfront venues, depth of experience hosting events of this size and scope, accommodations for anyone looking to make a weekend of it, and convenience to Atlanta, Lanier Islands Resort is the ideal destination for our three-day festival. Songwriter festivals &ndash; like those hosted in Pensacola, Key West, and 30A &ndash; have a rich and evolving history. We&rsquo;re excited to build on that tradition with an intimate, elegant festival that&rsquo;s a mix of storytelling and music &ndash; paired with food, drink, changing leaves, lakeside views, and firelight.&rdquo;
Jackson also shared that the resort&rsquo;s 1,200 acres of breathtaking natural beauty along the shores of Lake Lanier were only part of the appeal. With <a href="https://be.synxis.com/?Hotel=45779&amp;Chain=32791&amp;arrive=2026-11-13&amp;depart=2026-11-15&amp;adult=1&amp;child=0&amp;group=261113SONG" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">lakeside accommodations</a>, multiple dining options, boating, golf, pickleball, a spa, and its indoor entertainment venue Game Changer, <a href="http://www.lanierislands.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Lanier Islands Resort</a> offers festivalgoers the opportunity to turn a weekend of live music into a complete fall getaway. He was also impressed by the convenience of all eight stages &ndash; each within a short walk or golf cart ride of one another - as well as the resort&rsquo;s ability to pivot to an indoor venue in the event of inclement weather. Jackson also plans to set up big screens between Saturday performances so college football fans can enjoy tailgating throughout the day. 
&ldquo;Ingles is very excited to be the presenting sponsor for the inaugural Ingles Songwriters at the Lake Music Festival,&rdquo; said Melissa Leavell, Ingles Advertising Director. &ldquo;With the event taking place at beautiful Lanier Islands Resort and featuring some of the South&rsquo;s most amazing singer-songwriters, this event should not be missed. Ingles has a rich history supporting musical talent and concert events that fit our customers and community.&rdquo;
In addition to his decades-long tenure with the Rolling Stones and work alongside Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Mayer, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, and Train, <a href="https://youtu.be/vyt2HmYgVxc?si=Ci4dm9NNVjkfGiHK" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Chuck Leavell</a> remains one of America&rsquo;s most respected musicians and songwriters. Joining him onstage are&nbsp;Southern Rock luminary&nbsp;Randall Bramblett, lead vocalist for&nbsp;the Southern rock band Wet Willie&nbsp;Jimmy Hall, and extraordinary vocalist Joanna Cotten. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks. 
"Songwriters at the Lake represents exactly the type of signature events we're building at Lanier Islands," said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands. "We're creating year-round reasons for people to visit, from summer concerts and holiday experiences to festivals like this that showcase world-class talent in an unforgettable setting. We believe this will become one of the Southeast's premier songwriter festivals while also supporting outstanding charitable organizations.&rdquo;
Festival passes are just $129 and include resort gate fees and access to songwriter performances throughout the three-day festival. Subject to availability, a limited number of individual tickets may be released exclusively for the "Chuck Leavell and Friends" concert on Peachtree Green overlooking beautiful Lake Lanier Saturday, November 14.

True to its name, the <a href="https://rainbowvillage.org/events/#Gala" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Rainbow Village &ldquo;We Are Family&rdquo; Tailgate Benefit Gala</a> exists to honor the families the metro Atlanta-based nonprofit serves, thank its most fervent supporters, and celebrate the strides made together in ending homelessness &ndash; one family at a time. Traditionally one of the nonprofit&rsquo;s largest fundraisers, the nonprofit raised a combined $749,807 last year through proceeds from its Second Chance Golf Classic and Benefit Gala. Rainbow Village CEO Melanie Conner announced today the date and new venue for this year&rsquo;s Gala. On Saturday, October 24, Gala guests will gather in the ballroom at The Country Club of the South for a seated dinner, live and silent auction, a stirring testimonial from a former Rainbow Village resident, and fellowship with <a href="http://www.rainbowvillage.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Rainbow Village</a> team members and fellow supporters. With Northside Hospital leading the charge as Presenting Sponsor and Chick-Fil-A playing the role of Game Changer Sponsor, additional <a href="https://bit.ly/450YO6l" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">sponsorships are now available</a>. The sale of individual tickets and tables is also now open &ndash; the proceeds of which will help further Rainbow Village&rsquo;s mission to bring Help, Hope, Housing, and Healing to families experiencing homelessness in Metro Atlanta.
&ldquo;As a nonprofit, Rainbow Village relies heavily on the generosity of our donors and sponsors,&rdquo; said Conner. &ldquo;So when they offer feedback, we listen. After many years of contending with football schedules, last year, we changed what had traditionally been a tux-and-gown event into a fun fan fest with games shown on big screens and guests dressed in fan gear. While it was a big hit with most, we later heard that many missed a more formal setting. So, this year, we&rsquo;re excited to marry the two concepts and host our Gala at The Country Club of the South &ndash; one of Atlanta&rsquo;s most prestigious venues. It promises to be a very special evening, and we look forward to seeing a mix of old and new faces throughout the ballroom on October 24.&rdquo;
Conner encouraged local companies to join Northside Hospital and Chick-Fil-A as <a href="https://bit.ly/450YO6l" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Gala sponsors</a>. A number of sponsorship opportunities include tickets to the Gala, as well as pre-event promotion, on-site branding, on-stage mention, and more. To view the various sponsorship levels, interested organizations can visit <a href="https://bit.ly/450YO6l" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/450YO6l</a>. For groups and individuals who wish to purchase tickets or a table of ten, they can visit <a href="https://bit.ly/3RRwXCG" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/3RRwXCG</a>. 
In the event of a scheduling conflict, <a href="http://www.rainbowvillage.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Rainbow Village</a>&rsquo;s CEO also ensured that supporters need not attend the Gala to take part in the fun. As the October 24 date draws near, the nonprofit will open its silent auction for online bids. Conner pointed to this year&rsquo;s <a href="https://my.onecause.com/event/organizations/sf-0018000000iq8JHAAY/events/vevt:85bfc287-ae00-4f49-a01c-81f70c75058e/preview/shop/raffle" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">World Traveler Golden Ticket</a>, as well, which features accommodations for two to one of five global destinations &ndash; including a choice of Tuscany, Italy; Bali, Indonesia; Phuket, Thailand; Dublin, Ireland; or Santorini, Greece. At $100 per Golden Ticket, this raffle is now open at <a href="https://bit.ly/4vJHfTo" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4vJHfTo</a> - the winner of which will be announced during the Gala but need not be present&nbsp;to win.


While proceeds from the Gala will help fund daily operations and special programming at <a href="http://www.rainbowvillage.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Rainbow Village</a>, the nonprofit is in the midst of its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign. The successful conclusion of the Capital Campaign will fund the completion of two new apartment buildings on Rainbow Village&rsquo;s newly expanded campus &ndash; more than doubling its transitional housing capacity for unhoused families with children.

Marking the unofficial end of summer for many, <a href="https://www.lanierislands.com/special-events/labor_day_activities/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Labor Day Weekend at Lanier Islands Resort</a> also represents the end of the lakeside destination&rsquo;s summerlong A250 Celebration. What began Memorial Day Weekend and included Fourth of July Weekend will end with a BANG Labor Day Weekend by the lake. The three-day weekend will include a classic poolside cookout for overnight guests of the resort, Uncle Sam&rsquo;s Pop-up Bar with patriotically themed bites and beverages for visitors of Game Changer, and fireworks over the water &ndash; presented by Margaritaville at Lanier Islands. The holiday weekend will also comprise the final installment of the lakeside destination&rsquo;s Concerts for a Cause Series, as Rumours ATL takes the stage at Peachtree Pointe Amphitheater to fill the night air with the music of Fleetwood Mac.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve really enjoyed celebrating America&rsquo;s 250th birthday at the lake all summer long,&rdquo; said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve got a jam-packed weekend planned to bid a fond farewell to summer this year. The season at Fins Up Waterpark inside Margaritaville at Lanier Islands is winding down to a close, but there&rsquo;s still time to enjoy the waterslides and soak up some sun on the beach. There&rsquo;s also time to grab an A250 tribute drink at Uncle Sam&rsquo;s Pop-up Bar inside our Game Changer entertainment venue. On Saturday, we&rsquo;ll host our last poolside cookout of the year at Legacy Lodge &ndash; which has been a big hit with our overnight guests during previous holiday weekends. Both daytime and overnight guests can make their way to the beach at LandShark Landing for the best views of the fireworks over the water that night. Then we round out the fun with an outdoor concert to benefit the lake and our neighbors in need as Rumours ATL helms our final Concert for a Cause for the year on Sunday. But don&rsquo;t worry! While summer may be coming to an end, the fun continues this fall and winter with our Hot Air Balloon Festival, Magical Nights of Lights, and more.&rdquo;
Bowling encouraged anyone considering an overnight stay at the resort for Labor Day Weekend to book their stay early, as that&rsquo;s traditionally a popular weekend for couples and families wishing to soak every last drop of fun out of summer.

Fun Takes Flight During Lanier Islands Resort's First-Ever Hot Air Balloon Festival

Already receiving rave reviews from golfers, groups, and overnight guests, the newest additions to the golf program at Georgia&rsquo;s Lanier Islands Resort were officially celebrated during a Grand Opening event on July 23, 2026. Before the sun had set, community leaders, friends and family of Mike Williams, and members of the media gathered at Legacy Golf Course to be among the first to experience the Mike Williams Golf Center and The Six &ndash; one of the nation&rsquo;s only night-lit, par-3 courses. Kicking off a new era of golf at the resort, the two new amenities further enhance an 18-hole course featuring 14 waterside holes that has already been dubbed by LINKS magazine &ldquo;The Pebble Beach of the South.&rdquo; 
&ldquo;Tonight is, of course, a night of mixed emotions, as we celebrate the excitement of a new era of golf at Lanier Islands,&rdquo; said Matthew Bowling, President of Lanier Islands Resort, during remarks before a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Mike Williams Golf Center. &ldquo;But we are also here to remember and celebrate the dedication of this clubhouse in honor of my uncle, Mike Williams, who served as the CEO of this resort for so many years and was so passionate about growing the game of golf here at the Islands. Over the past several years, golf has become one of the leading drivers of this resort. We&rsquo;re honored to be one of the best courses in the state, and I want to recognize this incredible team that makes it happen every single day.&rdquo; 
Bowling also gave kudos to Virgil Williams &ndash; patriarch of the Williams family and Chairman of the Board for Lanier Islands Resort, who acquired the lakeside resort in 2005. He credited Williams with challenging him and everyone at the Islands to grow, innovate, and be different every day. His son, Mike Williams, took that spirit of innovation to heart and, during his tenure as CEO from 2005 to 2023, was one of the minds behind Sunset Cove &ndash; now rebranded as Margaritaville at Lanier Islands, Full Moon Parties, Magical Nights of Lights, and the Lake Lanier Poker Run. He also served as a founding member of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce&rsquo;s Tourism and Hospitality Board, helping to bring national and international attention to the resort. 
Beyond family members and friends of Mike Williams, Grand Opening attendees included Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce President &amp; CEO Nick Masino, Georgia Lottery Corporation President &amp; CEO Gretchen Corbin, Georgia Department of Economic Development Regional Tourism Manager Marcie Kicklighter, and many other community leaders and partners. 
&ldquo;The Williams Family has worked diligently behind the scenes to make Lanier Islands Resort a destination Georgia can be proud of,&rdquo; shared Masino. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re continually innovating and investing to elevate the guest experience. With the addition of the Mike Williams Golf Center and night golf to one of the most beautiful public courses in the Southeast, they are placing Northeast Georgia at the forefront for golf tourism, while reigniting interest among local golfers and tournament organizers. I know Mike Williams would have been incredibly proud to see his name associated with an investment that reflects his deep love for Lanier Islands and the game of golf. His vision and passion continue to shape the future of this remarkable destination.&rdquo;
&ldquo;At the Georgia Lottery, we can spot a winner, and the combination of the Mike Williams Golf Center and The Six will undoubtedly prove an extraordinary addition to our state,&rdquo; said Corbin. &ldquo;From the nighttime golf play to the spacious clubhouse patio, Lanier Islands Resort and the Williams family have created another winning entertainment space for golfers and non-golfers to enjoy. And what a wonderful way to celebrate the life of former Lanier Islands Resort CEO Mike Williams, who not only served the Islands with distinction, but was also known to be the happiest golfer on the course. May The Six be a daily reminder of the joy Mike brought not only to the game of golf, but also to his friends, his family, and visitors of Lanier Islands Resort.&rdquo;
When asked for his thoughts on the resort&rsquo;s newest additions, Georgia Department of Economic Development Deputy Commissioner of Tourism Jay Markwalter stated, &ldquo;Built on the Williams family&rsquo;s tradition of hospitality, Lanier Islands Resort&rsquo;s continued investment in amenities that are attractive to visitors is raising the bar today and for generations to come, delivering a positive difference for the Lake Lanier community and for Georgia tourism as a whole.&rdquo;

Powered by Compax, which is integrated into the T-Mobile Network, Radiant Mobile offers world-class 5G connectivity, network-level filtering of harmful content, original &ldquo;Radiant Life&rdquo; content, and unlimited talk, text &amp; data. 
&ldquo;Parents are the primary shaping agent of their children by design,&rdquo; said Suzanne Phillips, Founder and CEO of Beacon Parent. &ldquo;We must choose to be intentional about shaping the hearts and minds of our children because when we don&rsquo;t, culture is waiting for the chance. We all know that technology, and phones in particular, are the primary tools used to distract and deceive the next generation. Parental rights are being challenged at every turn. It&rsquo;s time to take back the internet and restore parents' ability to make choices that align with their values. Parents want to protect their children. Radiant Mobile offers them a practical solution, while we at Beacon Parent help parents lead their children with confidence and conviction.&rdquo;
With individual plans starting as low as $39.99 per month, every Radiant Mobile plan includes:
<ul><li>&ldquo;Radiant Shield&rdquo; to filter harmful content at the carrier level, not just through an app, so protection stays active even if someone tries to bypass it. Nine categories are hard-blocked on every device and cannot be turned off, including Pornography, Cyberbullying, Self-Harm, and Drugs. An additional 120 categories come preset as &ldquo;soft blocks,&rdquo; putting the power of choice where it belongs: in the hands of the parent.</li><li>The ability to keep one&rsquo;s existing phone numbers when customers make the switch to Radiant Mobile.</li><li>Extensive parental control features, including blocked time and quiet time</li><li>Age-appropriate &ldquo;Radiant Life&rdquo; content for kids, teens, and adults</li><li>Interviews with scholars, theologians, church leaders, parent experts, and celebrities</li><li>Games with rewards</li><li>Discounts on Christian-owned business products</li></ul>






&ldquo;Parents have been asking for a real solution, not another app to manage,&rdquo; said Chris Klimis, COO of Radiant Mobile. &ldquo;Radiant blocks harmful content at the network level, so protection isn't one more thing on a parent's plate. It's just how the phone works. Partnering with Beacon puts that in front of the families who've been looking for exactly this.&rdquo; 
Parents who wish to access Radiant Mobile through Beacon Parent will receive a special code for a FREE first month of service.

Eagles Tribute Band Takes the Stage for Second Installment of Lanier Islands' Concerts for a Cause

ATLANTA, Ga. &mdash; SJC Ventures, a premier Atlanta-based mixed-use, grocery-anchored retail and multi-family development firm, recently announced the hiring of Brett Warner as its new chief financial officer.
Warner brings more than 13 years of real estate and corporate finance experience spanning FP&amp;A, capital markets, development finance and asset management. He joins SJC from Related Ross in West Palm Beach, Florida, where, as vice president of finance, he led financial planning and performance management across a $5 billion portfolio of multifamily, retail, office and mixed-use assets and served as a key advisor to ownership on corporate strategy. During his tenure, he also directed the finance workstream for Related Ross' spinoff from Related Companies.
Over nearly a decade at Related Companies, Warner held progressively senior finance roles across the firm's national development platform, ultimately serving as director of finance for the Southeast. He built the corporate budgeting, forecasting and capital-planning infrastructure that scaled with the platform's rapid, multi-year growth, stood up finance and property management functions for new business lines, and underwrote major ground-up development projects. His earlier tenure included helping establish the financial reporting infrastructure for Hudson Yards, the $25 billion, 28-acre mixed-use development on Manhattan's West Side.
As CFO, Warner will oversee SJC Ventures' finance and accounting operations and help shape the firm's financial strategy through its next phase of growth. His focus includes deepening the company's capital relationships, strengthening its financial planning and reporting infrastructure, and building the systems needed to support an expanding development pipeline. Working alongside the firm's principals, he will help SJC capitalize on strong demand for grocery-anchored retail and adjacent multifamily by driving disciplined, profitable growth across its portfolio.
"We're excited to welcome Brett to the SJC Ventures leadership team,&rdquo; said Fain Hicks, principal at SJC Ventures. &ldquo;His depth of experience with large-scale, complex development projects and proven financial expertise will enhance our ability to continue to create significant value for our partners, stakeholders and the communities we serve. 
Warner earned bachelor's degrees in finance and economics from the University of Iowa, graduating with high distinction.
About SJC Ventures

The company has acquired and developed more than 60 retail, mixed-use, multifamily and office projects throughout the continental U.S. The company is headquartered in Georgia.
