It is the beginning of
another week, which means it is time to reveal the locations of last week’s two
Bucks on the Street and time to offer the first set of clues to the locations
of this week’s two Bucks as part of the 11-week Buck Hunt contest.
First, let us give the
information about last week’s Bucks on the Street, located at the
Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead and the Southern Art restaurant and at the
Barnes & Noble book store at the Peach Shopping Center, both locations
along Peachtree Road at different parts of Buckhead.

Buck 7: Located
at the Intercontinental Hotel/ Southern Art restaurant, was designed by artist Taylor
Arnold (http://taylorarnolddesigns.com/home.html) and is sponsored by Southern Art restaurant (http://southernart.com/) It is a waiter holding a red velvet
cake, one of the desert specialties of Chef Art Smth, who has made several
television appearances including Top Chef and Top Chef Masters, where he
quickly became an audience favorite.
Smith was also featured
in an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition where he lent a hand to a
deserving family that has devoted their lives to providing meals for the less
fortunate members of their community. Smith recently completed the filming of
the pilot episode for the ABC television show Time Machine Chefs, (Over Easy
Production Inc.)
Buck 8 is
located at the Barnes & Noble book store in The Peach Shopping Center at
2900 Peachtree Road in Buckhead. It was created by the Art Institute of Atlanta
(Under the Direction of David Moyers) by designers and team leaders Nicollette McCrea, William Gerber, Kandus
Johnson and Jasmine Grant.

This Buck is still
looking for a sponsor. A cool fact
associated with this Buck is that Barnes
& Noble originated in 1873 when Charles Barnes opened a book-printing
business in Wheaton, Illinois.
