This event takes place at Central Presbyterian Church. This event is free and open to the public but registration is requested. All pre-ordered books will be pre-signed by Julie & Jonathan! There will be no additional signing line, but there will be an extended Q&A. Charis welcomes Julie Murphy and Jonathan Van Ness in celebration of Let Them Stare, a bighearted story about friendship, love—and discovering the secrets and beauty of your own hometown. Sully is ready to get out of Hearst, Pennsylvania. With a fashion internship secured, the gender-nonconforming eighteen-year-old is trading in their stifling small town for the big city. Sully even sells their beloved car, to Bread—er, Brad—the most boring (and maybe only other) gay kid in town. When Sully’s internship goes up in smoke, they’re trapped in Hearst with no cash—and no car. Desperate, they go to the thrift store, their personal sanctuary. There, they discover a vintage bag—like  put this baby in an airtight case at the MET  vintage. If Sully can authenticate it, the resale value would be enough for a new life in the city. But when they begin to investigate, Sully finds themself haunted. Literally. With the ghost of Rufus, a drag performer from the fifties with no memory of how he died standing—no, floating—in their bedroom, Sully’s summer has a new purpose: 1) help this ghostly honey unlock his past and move on and 2) make bank—after all, the Real Real doesn’t take poltergeist purses. With Rufus in tow, and Brad—who’s looking pretty scrumptious these days—playing chauffeur, Sully delves into the history of the town they’re so desperate to escape. Only to discover that there might be more to Hearst than they ever knew. About the Authors: Jonathan Van Ness is an Emmy-winning television personality, 3x New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, comedian, celebrity hairstylist, and founder of JVN Hair. He stars on Netflix’s Emmy Award–winning reboot series Queer Eye, where he shines as the hair guru and self-care advocate; and he hosts the popular podcast Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness. Julie Murphy splits her time between North Texas and Kansas with her husband, who loves her, and her cats, who tolerate her. When Julie isn’t writing, she can be found watching movies so bad they're good, hunting for the perfect slice of cheese pizza, or planning her next great travel adventure. She is the author of the middle grade novels Dear Sweet Pea and Camp Sylvania as well as the young adult novels Ramona Blue, Side Effects May Vary, the Faith series, Pumpkin, Puddin’, and Dumplin’ (now a Netflix original film).

Centennial Olympic Park

This square is a big park in the heart of the street, free. You can stroll around when you have time, take pictures on the five rings, etc. There is a Ferris wheel next to it, the scenery of the surrounding buildings is good, and then walk to CNN headquarters for 5 minutes.

Atlanta History Center

小溪小海

After reading the comments and pictures of previous travel friends, I feel that the museum has been renovated after 2020. The refurbishment effect is very good, but the tickets have also risen~ not everyone said $16.5, I paid $27! And no cash, no UnionPay card. There is too much content. Come here, equivalent to a museum + forest park + celebrity residence + zoo, or the best place for a new wedding and beautiful photos to punch in. After a day of walking, I haven&#39;t finished shopping. Can $27 be worth it? There are movies and interpreters in the exhibition hall, usually thinking that English is OK, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
