ATLANTA – Date night Wednesdays with High Tea at Ginger Yums Sip Shop:
Every Wednesday this month, Good Day Atlanta is in search of the best “date night” options in town. And since today happens to be the most romantic day of the year, we decided to check out a place owned by a husband and wife who really know how to “spice up” the lives of their customers!
We’re talking about the brand-new Ginger Yums Sip Shop in Johns Creek, where founders Angela Avery and Dr. Karl Walbrook share their love of sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Ginger Yums Sip Shop may be new, but its owners are already well known in the community, having opened The Ginger Room in Alpharetta back in 2021 (you may remember our delicious visit there) and selling their Ginger Yums line of all-natural ginger juices at local farmer’s markets since 2018. The Ginger Room has become quite famous for its high tea experience, something also offered at the new Johns Creek shop — the owners say right now, they’ve got more than 20 blends of tea available at Ginger Yums Sip Shop.
Along with the tea and the many flavors of Ginger Yums (including pineapple, mint, lemongrass, and sugar-free options), customers can also grab a charcuterie board or snack; Ginger Yums Sip Shop has partnered with several local vendors to carry various treats, including donuts and brownies.
Ginger Yums Sip Shop is located at 8465 Holcomb Bridge Road, Unit 670, in Johns Creek — for more information, click here. Click the video player in this article to check out our morning at the shop, learning why a high tea experience might be the performance option for your next romantic outing!

FBI Atlanta warning residents of an expected surge of romance and confidence scams around Valentine’s Day: In a confidence/romance scam, victims are lured into thinking they are in a relationship with a friend or romantic partner, then are tricked into sending money, financial information, or personal information to the criminal. They may also be deceived into laundering money. Romance scammers follow a well-rehearsed script that has worked before, and often view this scam as a full-time job. Special agents have noted they may wait for months developing the relationship before asking for anything of value.

Braves News: Short term free agent options, rumors, more
We are nearing the opening of the International Free Agency signing period, on January 15th. The Braves are reportedly set to sign one of the top prospects in the class, but the biggest story of the signing period is that Roki Sasaki will be able to sign with a team formally. Reportedly he has not made a decision yet, which will pose problems for teams hoping to sign him, as they will need to hold open space in their bonus pool for him. If the Braves are involved, look for them to delay finalizing deals with the free agents they are expected to sign until Sasaki informs them they are out of the running or makes a final decision. While there hasn’t been any reporting to the point, there are some reasons to believe that Atlanta could be desirable for Sasaki. Sasaki’s agent has indicated some interest in having a friendlier and less invasive media market, a team set up for short and long term success, and having a team with a good pitching development reputation, all of which fit Atlanta. Furthermore, Atlanta’s extensive history of handing out extensions to their young players must be appealing to a player in Sasaki’s financial situation, as his short term income is dramatically limited by the international free agency process, and Atlanta has been polled among the most desirable teams to play for among MLB players. I will be interested to see if Atlanta is involved in the Sasaki sweepstakes.

We are really at the bottom of the barrel here, with no moves of note and not to the point of Spring Training news either.
MLB News
Players like Anthony Santander and Jack Flaherty are reportedly at the point of considering more short term, high AAV deals, which could be of interest to an Atlanta front office that has been fond of that type of deal.
Garrett Crochet has talked with the Red Sox about signing an extension, after the star lefty was traded to Boston from Sox to Sox earlier this offseason.
International Amateur Free Agent Darell Morel has flipped to sign with the Pirates, after initially agreeing on a deal with the Dodgers, as the Dodgers are holding open space in hopes of signing Roki Sasaki and Morel gets nearly double the bonus he was set to receive.
