I don’t drink coffee, but I love coffeehouses. When I lived Atlanta back in the ’90s, I used to hang out at a place called Café Diem. It was a cool spot on North Highland Avenue near Little Five Points. Essentially a haven for the creative intellectual set, the café became my home away from home.

By Mark Burger
Boris Karloff scared the world, and the world loved him for it. Were he alive today, Karloff (born William Henry Pratt) would be 123 years old. Even though he died in 1969 (at 81), he is perhaps as popular now as ever. His voice and visage are as familiar to filmgoers today as they were during his lifetime.
