Has COVID-19 Changed Our Friendship Groups? What It Looks Like a Year Later

Sanctuary is an oasis of refuge. A fortress of equanimity nestled upon resilient timbers sturdy enough endure turbulent sea changes.
Many look for sanctuary in the traditional realms of church pews and scripture. Others find it in work or hobbies while some turn to yoga mats and nature trails to find their place of solace.
But a local group of hoops lovers found theirs in sport. Three times a week, they crawled out of bed before dawn and convened at the Robert D. Fowler Family YMCA on Jones Bridge Road for early morning pickup basketball games.
Theirs was a refuge that existed between the black lines of the hardwood court. Saggy-eyed engineers and insurance salesmen filtered in for shoot arounds at 6 a.m. Minutes later, the kinetic pace of full-court runs energized the gymnasium.
For two hours, the chorus of sneakers squeaking against the synthetic wood floors mixed with the snap of the roundball swishing through the net. Afterward, each of the men went their separate ways for an honest day’s work.
It was a ritual that held true for decades at the Peachtree Corners Y. Dozens of recreational ballplayers, hungry for good pickup games, cycled through the gym on different days. As many as 75 players were signed up on an email distribution list for the 6 a.m. runs.
But COVID forced statewide shutdowns of Georgia’s gyms last spring, stripping the local hoopers of their beloved sanctuary. Gov. Brian Kemp issued a shelter-in-place order April 2, 2020, officially closing all gyms, hair salons, barbershops and many other businesses across Georgia. That executive order came two weeks after all of Metro Atlanta’s YMCA facilities temporarily closed.
Thirteen months later, many of the shutdowns have lifted. However, the morning ballers had yet to return to their haven on the court.
“I feel like I’m missing something,” Terry Hogan said during a recent interview. “It’s just another loss for me. It’s like the whole world’s been rocked and this is a piece that I miss and hate that it was taken away.”
COVID-19’s devastation has extended to all aspects of life, affecting everything from work and school to the ways we shop, vote, congregate and worship.
One of its overlooked impacts is the toll the pandemic has had on casual friendships. Researchers say those relationships add depth to people’s lives and help eliminate the feelings of isolation that have crept into many households over the past 14 months.
Before the pandemic-forced closures, Hogan, a 56-year-old engineer, had been playing basketball at the Y since 1998. He and three of the other group’s mainstays sat down with Peachtree Corners Magazine last month to discuss life sans their pre-dawn basketball rendezvous.
“It feels good because it’s a sense of normalcy,” Hogan said of seeing some of his old buddies for the first time in more than a year. “Normalcy’s about to return, that’s how I view it.”
‘It’s Sort of Like Family’
For this group, normalcy meant starting their day with a workout. They met at the Peachtree Y around 6 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The majority of them are working professionals so the early starts gave them enough time to muster a handful of pickup games before cleaning up and heading to the office.
“It jumpstarts your day,” Jesse Mills said. “The thing about it, once you get into a routine, your body adapts.”
Mills, a 39-year-old tech analyst, was recruited to play about 12 years ago. He’s a part-time referee and was officiating a rec league in which Hogan played at the time. Mills said he was about 300 pounds when he first started waking up for the morning scrimmages. He’s slimmed down to about 200 pounds and now brings an explosive style to the pickup games, capable of slashing to the bucket and knocking down 3-point shots.
The ensemble includes a mixture of ballplayers from across the Atlanta metro region. Some drove from as far away as Cherokee County — over an hour away — to get in on the action. The players ranged in age from early 20s to mid-50s. Some of the regulars were women.
Between 12 and 15 players showed up each morning. The crowd swelled to over 20 during the summer months, when college students were home from school and local teachers joined the fray.
“All the basketball personalities are there at different times,” said Karl Barham, a regular of the past 20 years. “You dread it, but you can’t beat it. Every morning, I get up with the same feeling of ‘I don’t want to go, I want to sleep.’ But on those days, the second I get on the court and get that first game in, that feeling’s gone. And I never regret it. I never feel like I should have stayed home. It’s the days that you don’t go that you regret not going.”
Barham, a 48-year-old New York City native, plays a physical style patterned after the Patrick Ewing-led Knicks of the 1990s. Without real options to play basketball over the past year, he said he’s struggled to stay in shape. He’s tried alternatives like the Peloton and running outdoors.
“But you don’t get the cardio, you don’t get the exercise you get with running on the basketball court,” Barham said. “Even just getting up in the morning, keeping that routine.”
Trash talk was an integral part of the players’ bond. Barry Blount, an automotive engineer, moved to the area from Michigan in 2012 and quickly stumbled upon the morning rec runs. He said the boastful banter begins with text messages long before they hit the court. And the smack talk continues right after the runs are over for the day. It’s all borne out of the spirit of competition that draws the ballers to the gym.
“It’s sort of like family because even when we argue, we all know what the limits are and it never really lasts that long,” Blount said. “We have the games and everybody loves it. It’s the kind of group that would hang out outside of work.”
While Mills may be effective on the court, he catches flack for the volume of fouls he calls during the games. It’s become a running joke in the group over the years, with his comrades wisecracking that he should leave his whistle at home. Mills shrugs it off.
“I’m a ref, so anytime I call something, they’re always yelling ‘bad call,’” he acknowledged with a wry grin. “But it’s a pretty good group of guys that we’ve got on a normal basis.”
The Love of the Game
Jiles Parham, who turned 77 in May, played morning basketball for more than 30 years in Albany, Georgia before moving to Conyers in 2012.
Parham has a special bond with the game. Basketball is credited with saving his life. During a morning run at the Albany Y in 1995, Parham collapsed on the court. He came up to Atlanta to have five heart bypasses at the Emory University Hospital.
“The doc that did the surgery said, ‘Keep playing, keep doing what you’re doing,’” Parham recalled. “They said it was the reason I survived, because I was in good shape. But I say it’s because the Lord saved my life.”
When he moved to the Atlanta suburbs, Parham said he first tried out a gym in south DeKalb. But it only offered recreational games once a week on Monday nights.
“So I called around, and this was the only Y that had 6 o’clock basketball. That’s why I started coming up here,” Parham said.
Before the early pickup games at Peachtree Y were suspended last year, Parham woke up at 4:20 each morning in time to travel from Conyers and hit the court by 6 a.m. “If you love basketball, you’ll do it,” he said.
“If the world could live like we play basketball, we’d be a lot better place. That’s for sure,” Parham added later. “If we have disagreements, we take turns on a ball. But if you have a bad call, we’ll shoot the three for it. And whoever makes or misses it, we keep playing.”
Shaking Off the Rust
All of the members of the group said they miss the fellowship. Blount said a few tried to arrange times to catch up around Christmas, but those plans eventually fell through because of scheduling conflicts.
“I love the basketball,” he explained. “But I also love the fact that I found a group of guys who all kind of have the same mindset as I do. They’re all family guys…And a lot of us are not from here, so we don’t have family here. So it gives me, like, a group that I can affiliate myself with.”
The bug to get back on the court started to set in around late March when the winter weather dissipated. Several people started texting each other about going back to the gym.
“At least get the guys sparked back up to start playing again,” Blount said. “Everybody wants to get back in the gym, to get in shape and just kind of see each other. Get that camaraderie going again.”
Mills said he’d already started back at different gyms throughout the area, but his game wasn’t the same as before the pandemic. He’d heard whispers of other local courts that were set to open.
Hogan reflected on losing his connection with the group. He was itching to get back on the court but had some apprehensiveness after being away for a whole year.
“I’m worried about my age,” he said. “It’s hard at this age to stop and start back up.” Despite those concerns, he began making plans to get the word out and round the gang back up.
“This is perfect timing,” he told Mills, Parham and Barham as they sat at Towns Center plotting a return to the courts. “This is like going to be the restart. It’s like we’re close to restarting, and talking to us now is the perfect reason to restart.”
Live performances, shopping, food and fun are the highlights of this annual event celebrating Japanese culture
Georgia’s close ties to Japan span decades. The State of Georgia opened its first international office in Tokyo in 1973 to promote trade and tourism. A year later, the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta was established.
Now, Georgia and Japan share a sister state-prefecture relationship and 10 sister city connections. Georgia is also regarded as the center of Japanese business activities in the southeastern United States as over 600 Japanese-affiliated companies have invested over $10.4 billion.
To celebrate this connection, JapanFest Weekend 2024 will be held on September 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and September 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Gas South Convention Center.
Organized by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Georgia and The Japan-America Society of Georgia, the festival is designed to promote friendship and cultural exchange between the Japanese and American communities in the Southeast.
Live performances
JapanFest 2024 will feature a lineup of performers coming from Japan. Miyabiya Japan is set to showcase the mesmerizing blend of traditional and modernized Kabuki theatre, a performing art proclaimed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Broadway performer and Rakugo master storyteller, hailed as the “King of Kimono Comedy,” Katsura Sunshine, will bring the laughs, as well as a captivating rendition of classic Japanese tales.
There will also be performances by the Matsuriza Taiko Japanese Drum Troupe and Samurai Sword Soul, as well as sumo, karate, kendo and kyudo martial arts demonstrations.
Food, fun and arts & crafts
On top of that, local Japanese restaurants will offer a tantalizing menu of bento boxes, rice bowls, ramen noodles, sushi, yakisoba, shaved ice and more at the Japanese Food Court and Beer Garden. Cultural exhibits and workshops include calligraphy, Bonsai, Ikebana flower arranging, Kimono fitting, origami, a tea ceremony and more.
Kids will have a fantastic time experiencing Japanese culture firsthand. At the festival’s Children’s Area, they can make their own Japanese crafts and toys. They can even take part in carrying a traditional Japanese portable shrine at the o-mikoshi parade.
Visitors can also purchase an amazing array of Japanese goods, including kimono, Japanese tea, dolls, hand-made crafts, anime and manga goods and much from over 100 vendor booths.
Many of the over 600 Japanese-affiliated companies based in Georgia will display their products at the Japanese Businesses in Georgia (JBiG) exhibition. Interactive exhibits also include the latest in Japanese technology, including automobiles, tractors, electronics, video games and virtual reality.

The 11th annual race at The Forum attracts largest crowd in history
On August 10, over 1,700 people gathered at The Forum in Peachtree Corners for the 11th annual Light Up the Corners Glow Run and Twilight Trot benefiting the Fowler Family YMCA. This year’s event welcomed a record-breaking crowd of participants, sponsors and spectators and raised over $50,000 for the YMCA’s Why It Matters campaign.
“To witness over 1,600 glowing-flashing-sparkling runners and walkers was a thrill from start to finish,” said Light Up the Corners founder, Amy Massey. “But knowing this wonderful event enriches the lives of so many people in our community through the programs and services offered by the YMCA made it even better.”
The Forum showcased their new grand plaza and expanded gathering areas during the race, providing a perfect setting for this much-loved Peachtree Corners tradition.
Roaming, glowing performers, a live DJ, games, Disney and Star Wars characters and face-painting made it an exciting, fun and family-friendly event.
North American Properties event coordinator, Charlotte Hinton added, “We’ve been blown away by the immense community support and feedback The Forum has received over the past two years, and we are proud The Forum continues serving as Peachtree Corners’ favorite spot to gather.”

The Peachtree Corners Festival, a beloved local event that brings together residents and visitors for a weekend of community spirit, entertainment and good vibes, is back for its 13th year.
Located in and around Town Center, the Peachtree Corners Festival will be hosted on September 21 through 22, with times on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Dave Huffman, Peachtree Corners Festival President, has been heavily involved in the festival for over a decade and got his start thanks to the late Debbie Mason, co-founder of the festival and wife to city mayor Mike Mason.
“Debbie Mason asked me to join the committee in 2013 when the festival was in its third year. I helped put our signs out and did whatever needed to be done,” Huffman told Peachtree Corners Magazine. “I enjoyed seeing the inner workings of what it took to put on a large event for our community. The next year, I became president of the committee and have served in that role since that time.
Last year, the festival included a special dedication to Debbie Mason, whose contributions to the event and the community were immense. While there won’t be a formal ceremony this year, Huffman shared exciting plans for a lasting tribute.
“We do have a long-term honor in her name coming this fall. I am on an ad-hoc committee composed of friends of Debbie, and we have been working on plans for a special garden in her honor which will be located in the new Peachtree Corners botanical garden on the south side of the Town Center property,” he said.
The ribbon-cutting for the Debbie Mason Memorial Garden is scheduled for October 26.
“It will be a very special tribute to this lady who gave so much of herself to our city,” he stated.
A different kind of festival
First and foremost, the Peachtree Corners Festival is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to putting on a safe and wholesome family-friendly event. The festival also has a positive cash flow, and funds support the education and beautification of the city. The best part? It is completely free to attend.
The Peachtree Corners Festival also stands out for its local pride while also attracting attendees from surrounding areas.
“I think that our residents like to have a festival to call their own, although we do get many attendees from surrounding cities and communities outside of Peachtree Corners,” Huffman explained.
“It is fun to come out and see what kinds of crafts there for sale are, eat some food that you might not normally get a chance to sample, see some exotic cars and listen to music while doing all of these things in a convenient location. Hopefully, we have gained a reputation for being well-organized and enjoyable,” he added.
Fun for all ages
The Kid’s Corner at the Peachtree Corners Festival is always a hit with families, and this year promises to be no different.
In May, the city unveiled new tot lot playgrounds for children under six years old that are themed around space exploration. The play area includes a rocket ship, a moon rover, a crashed UFO and other fun designs.
“Our tennis and pickleball nets for kids will be located there and Deborah Mosher, aka The Bubble Lady, will return with super-sized bubbles. There will also be kid-friendly vendors located around the periphery of the Green, including walking pet balloons, face painting, balloon twistin’ and a build-a-bear station,” said Huffman.
“Sweetacular Treats will return in case any kid (or adult) needs some sweets to keep that energy up!” he added.
Festival favorites
The classic car show is back again at the Peachtree Corners Festival. And this year, a special guest will be in attendance.
“The Classic Car Show is one of the aspects of our festival that sets us apart from other local craft festivals and is an attendee favorite each year. Our car show guru, Mike Thies, has been working with the Georgia Street Rod Association (GSRA) to exhibit cars at our show this year, so we are all looking forward to that.”
Trained judges will be on-site giving out awards for top car, top bike and top class on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Collector Car Hobby Celebration will take place on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. with Sam Madahvi of Sam’s Garage TV show serving as grand marshall.
It costs $25 to enter your ride for consideration and includes a one-year full membership to the GSRA.
And while folks are admiring the cars in that area, across the way is another favorite attraction returning this year.
Get an up close and personal look at a surgical robot! Intuitive, the maker of the da Vinci robotic surgical system, calls Peachtree Corners the home of its east coast global hub and will have its All-Mobile Experience at the 13th Annual Peachtree Corners Festival.
An 18-wheel, 80,000-pound truck holding a roving laboratory, fully equipped with a mock operating room will give festivalgoers a chance to see and learn about robotic-assisted surgery.
The Peachtree Corners Festival is also known for having quality musical acts on the Town Green stage.
“We will continue that tradition with excellent bands and local youth ensembles who will show off their skills,” stated Huffman.
The exact lineup is still in work as of the time of this publication.
The food scene
There will be many scrumptious treats for attendees to look forward to this year with more food vendors and food trucks on-site.
Tasty Yum Yum will be back serving delicious bites like jerk chicken, bang bang shrimp, Philly cheese steaks, funnel cakes and fried Oreos.
Sweetacular Treats is returning for the third consecutive year and will be set up near the Tot Lot playground with a large variety of sweets, cotton candy, popcorn and candy apples.
There will also be several new food trucks in the lineup including:
Urban Wings: Known for its delectable wings and a wide variety of sauces, Urban Wings also offers friendly Vegan wing options as well as sides, desserts, locally crafted beers and gourmet lemonades.
Pico’s Hot Dogs: Along with more traditional hotdogs, you can discover new favorites, like a specialty dog wrapped in crispy bacon, and topped with the zesty flavors of pico de gallo.

And for some special desserts at the end of the evening, check out Double E Sweets’ frozen chocolate-dipped cheesecake.
Vendor mania
The festival’s vendor lineup features a mix of new and returning favorites, offering a wide array of arts, homemade goods and crafts.
“Although much of this year’s festival will look familiar, about half of our arts and crafts vendors are new to us and are exhibiting in Peachtree Corners for the first time,” said Huffman. “We will be presenting over 60 arts and crafts vendors lining both sides of Peachtree Corners Circle from the roundabout down to DaVinci Court.”
Some of the vendors include:
