Working for the Weekend: Sloomoo Institute

When I heard there was a “slime museum” in Atlanta, I knew this was something my girls would need to see. We rarely allow slime in our home because of the mess, but they love it so much that I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get their fill of ooze without destroying anything we own. We saw all the colors, felt the textures, and even smelled the slimiest scents – but is this something that you want to fork over the dough for your family to experience? Check

The facility closed about a year ago for the more than $17 million project, designed to enhance the current venue as the first phase of a three-phase development. “For more than 80 years, this venue here has hosted a lot of fun events,” Mayor Garnett Johnson told the crowd. “Here we are, bigger and better, to host more events for generations to come.” The Bell is more than 80 years old.
