A Love Letter to Kirkwood
We’ve been eagerly awaiting this chance to fill all of you in on some exciting changes that have been in the works for a few weeks now. We know we’ve kept everyone in suspense while working on final details, but the time has finally come to celebrate the next phase for our team and our community:
We’re thrilled to share that The Argonaut will be transforming into Jolene Jolene — Atlanta’s home for all things women’s sports. Incoming Operating Partner Chelsea Fishman’s passion for championing women athletes is infectious, and her vision for this space will take Kirkwood somewhere special. Somewhere this neighborhood deserves.
David & Brandon will be here behind the scenes, helping Jolene Jolene become the staple this community deserves and supporting Chelsea every step of the way. This concept fills a void we’ve felt ever since we lost Kirkyard — a gathering place where people come together around something they love.
To every regular who has became a friend, every neighbor who has stopped in, every staff member who has made this place hum; for every first date, birthday, watch party, and random Tuesday night — thank you. Truly. Our team will be forever grateful for two years of special moments and memories as we look forward to what comes next.
This isn’t goodbye. It’s a refresh. A new era for a space we love, in a neighborhood we love even more.
Kirkwood, we’ll see you at Jolene Jolene.
