When I heard The Frye Company was coming to Atlanta to open its very first store in the area, it immediately brought me back to my festival-going days with a big ole wave of nostalgia. Back to the days when I was carefree, restless and young, when I could be spotted in a pair of classic, rugged boots all over my early stomping grounds. And let me tell you, those boots would have some stories to share.  But they’ve withstood the test of time (I’ve had that pair for nearly a decade!), and have held up beautifully as all Fryes do.  All my fellow Frye owners can attest that the boots’ solid craftsmanship and classic designs (with just the right amount of edge) are some of those “Forever Items.”

With a shiny new store at Ponce City Market which is absolutely jaw dropping, comes a wonderful excuse to pick up another pair or two and that’s just what I did.  Today and tomorrow, I’m sharing scenes from a recent spin around town to a few of my favorite haunts in my new Fryes: Northside Tavern to catch the best live blues, Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall for a little brunch action, Gio’s…because how could I pass up one last gelato and much more.  All just a day in #TheFryeLife. Truly, MKR
