W Hotel - Midtown tickles the senses once again with their latest groove, “The Sounds of Wonderlust” - a new music compilation CD produced for W Hotels. Check out the images from the launch party, November 20, 2008.
Dialog in the Dark is an exhibition that takes people through common experiences the blind encounter in their every day lives in ways that sighted individuals can take for granted.
It is truly a life-changing journey in complete darkness as people learn to see without sight, relying on the other four senses to navigate their way through parks, streets and other urban environments.
I had a chance to experience this myself and interviewed Atlanta resident and tour guide, Nicole Campbell. Campbell discussed the exhibition, common questions and what it means to be blind in Atlanta.
We also search the Georgia Music Directory to listen to “Autumn Leaves” by the After Hours Quartet.

Last week the W Atlanta Hotels gave the media a sneak peek of their latest locale. The new location is just a stone’s throw away from Lenox Square Mall on Peachtree Street and scheduled to open mid November.
Like all of the hotels in the chain, the W Atlanta - Buckhead will maintain the stark white signature facade while showcasing its own unique decor. According the hotel’s General Manager, Marylouise Fitzgibbon, the theme is “country club chic,” an eclectic mix of southern traditional and modern styles. This is a far departure from it’s sister, W Midtown which features a “retro glam” theme.
Not sure what country club chic looks like, take the virtual tour via YouTube:
