Legacy of Legends: Cascade Skating Rink
In The Black: Legacy of Legends
Cascade Skating Rink has long been a cultural monument in Atlanta and a cornerstone of the roller-skating world. From Beyoncé and Magic Johnson to Senator Raphael Warnock, its doors have welcomed legends, but its true impact lies in the community it has nurtured. For over two decades, Cascade has been more than just a skating rink—it has been a gathering place where generations of Atlantans connect, celebrate, and express themselves. It has influenced fashion, music, and dance, helping to shape Atlanta’s creative culture while serving as a safe space for families, youth, and artists alike. Cascade remains a vibrant symbol of resilience, joy, and the unique rhythm of Atlanta.
For over 30 years, Metro Atlanta’s Black-owned businesses have been building, shaping, and uplifting our community. Through powerful storytelling and stunning videography, Legacy of Legends honors the resilience, heritage, and impact of these trailblazers. Watch. Learn. Be inspired. 🎥 By Tabius McCoy

The Hidden Cost of Insurance Loyalty
Stop overpaying for your auto insurance. Learn why staying loyal to your carrier is costing you money and how to secure better rates in our latest episode.
Auto insurance ranks among the highest ongoing costs of car ownership, and many drivers set a policy once and let it ride for years. In Season 2, Episode 1 of The Color of Our Money Is Green, Roosevelt Gist and co-host Roosevelt show why that habit costs real money and give you a clear plan to keep more of it.
You will hear why the National Association of Insurance Commissioners recommends comparing auto insurance quotes once a year, and which life events call for a fresh comparison: a renewal, a new vehicle, a move, marriage, or a new driver in the household. The hosts explain price optimization, the pricing practice that can factor customer loyalty into your premium, and how the California Department of Insurance restricts it. A yearly comparison quote keeps your carrier working to earn your business.
The episode also covers how deductibles and premiums move in opposite directions, why matching deductibles makes quotes comparable, and how to choose a deductible you can pay in an emergency. You will learn South Carolina’s 25/50/25 minimum liability requirement from the South Carolina Department of Insurance, why that minimum marks the legal floor, and why a conversation with a licensed agent belongs in every policy review. Discounts for bundling, a clean driving record, low mileage, and defensive driving courses round out the savings tips.
The Green Book Moment honors Durham, North Carolina’s Black Wall Street. North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, founded in 1898, grew into the largest Black-owned business in America and insured Black families when many white-owned insurers refused them. The company entered liquidation in 2022 after more than a century of service. Mechanics and Farmers Bank, founded in 1907, still serves customers today.
Pull your declarations page, request three to five quotes with matching deductibles and limits, and ask every agent about discounts. Get your copy of “The Color of Our Money Is Green: A Buyer’s Guide to What Cars Actually Cost” at stan.store/RGist. Sponsored by AutoNetwork.com
