Welcome to the trap: swaggering Atlanta Dream turn WNBA finals into a hometown spectacle

Andrew Lawrence | Atlanta’s wounded sports fans know better than to get carried away. But the Dream’s first WNBA finals game in 13 years showed this might finally be a team worth falling forThe Atlanta Dream were exactly where they wanted to be on Wednesday night, comfortably ensconced inside their downtown arena for Game 3 of the WNBA finals against the Golden State Valkyries.

Kerry Washington, Ludacris and Cam Newton led the courtside celebrity delegation. Quavo and TI headlined the half-time show, while two more hugely popular Atlanta rappers performed during other extended play stoppages – a mini-spectacle that speaks to the city’s deep bench of hip-hop talent.But it was the crowd that really made State Farm Arena a house of horrors for Golden State.

They didn’t just fill the 17,608-seat venue. They donned matching sky-blue T-shirts and waved rally towels. They sang along with their favorite emcees and lived and died with every point. They were so loud in the first quarter that I couldn’t hear the referee’s whistle from my 100-level press seat.

They stayed to the end – well, two minutes from the buzzer anyway (gotta beat traffic) – and, with the 97-71 win sealed and DJ Khaled’s All I Do Is Win blasting through the arena speakers, serenaded the departing Valkyries with the unofficial Atlanta battle cry: “ATL hoe!” Continue reading...

[VIDEO] Beyond the cup: Korea's evolving cafe industry

Korea is home to roughly 100,000 cafes. How did the coffee industry thrive to this extent in a country that is not historically known for coffee? Looking at Mega MGC Coffee — the chain with the largest number of branches in Korea — two key factors emerge.

On average, a Korean consumes nearly 400 cups of coffee per year, which is almost three times the global average. For Koreans, coffee is less of a leisurely break and more of a functional "potion" used to endure demanding workloads. Because of this, cafes in Korea generally adopt one of two distinct strategies: they either position themselves as high-end establishments, or they brand themselves as low-cost options to maximize profit through high sales volume rather than high margins per drink.

Mega MGC Coffee falls into the latter category. By pricing an iced Americano at around 2,000 won($1.5) for a 710ml cup, the company focuses on becoming part of the daily routine for consumers rather than making a large profit from each sale. Furthermore, service is remarkably fast.

Once an order for an Americano is placed, it typically takes
