Bottoms announced Perry would be on her transition team, called "Georgia's Promise," at a news conference on Nov. 6. She called Perry an "entertainment mogul" who is also "a huge philanthropic part of our Georgia community and owns Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta." The former Atlanta mayor previously worked with Perry. Bottoms made her first foray into showbiz as an executive producer on his Netflix political comedy "She the People." Later renamed "Miss Governor," the show premiered in May 2025 and was canceled after its first season. "THANK YOU to everyone who has tuned in and made 'She The People' the hit show we knew it would be," she said in a May 2025 Instagram post. "I was encouraged by some very well meaning people not to join as an Executive Producer of this project. But I have learned that intuition is a super power and sometimes what makes sense to you, just isn’t meant for others to understand." Here's more on Perry joining Bottoms' transition committee. Who else will serve on Bottoms' transition committee?

Fried lobster tails served on a waffle. That dish sits on a menu where appetizers are listed under “Take off” and seafood specialties fly under “Cargo.”. I love a restaurant that commits to a theme this hard. The aviation touches come from the owners’ own family roots in flying.

The Byrdes spent four seasons washing cartel money on a Missouri lake that, almost every time you saw it, was sitting in Georgia. Georgia is the answer to where was Ozark filmed, specifically two reservoirs north of Atlanta, Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus a string of metro Atlanta diners, parks and one very old drive-in. Netflix’s own Tudum travel guide concedes that Ozark was not shot in the Ozarks and that most of the real filming happened in Georgia, and KOMU in Columbia, Missouri, reported that only a few establishing shots came from the actual Lake of the Ozarks.
