First Women’s Sports Bar in Atlanta Opens

Jolene Jolene, Atlanta’s first women’s sports bar, officially opened on July 4 as part of a residency at Pullman Yards in Kirkwood, offering a community-focused venue for fans to watch women’s national and international sports.

The sports bar will operate five days a week, Wednesday to Sunday.

The space will accommodate the rising popularity of Women’s sports in America. Earlier this week, the WNBA announced expansion teams in Detroit, Cleveland, and Philadelphia.

“There’s not a place like this. There’s not a place for women’s sports, for women’s sports fans to gather, and celebrate, and trash talk, and strategize, and dream, and that doesn’t exist here [in Atlanta],” said Jolene Jolene owner Chelsea Fishman.

  Two Boat Explosions Over Holiday

Two boat explosions that occurred on July 4, one at Lake Lanier and another at Lake Nottely, each left multiple people injured and hospitalized for severe burns.

A boat exploded on Lake Lanier while being towed, injuring seven people. All seven victims were hospitalized with second and third-degree burns. Two victims were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, while the rest were treated at local area hospitals.

Another boat explosion also injured seven people at Lake Nottely in Union County.

The cause of both incidents are currently unknown and are being investigated.
