"Pi" Day today at the Palms

[March 14, 2015]  ATLANTA - Besides its tasty Blue Plate lunches, Atlanta's Palms Grill Cafe is all about homemade pie, so everyone is invited to celebrate "Pi" day today at The Grill.

"Pi" day, as it is called, is a reference to the Greek letter pi (π), which stands for a never-changing ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It is equal to 3.14, followed by an infinite set of other digits beyond its decimal point.

Math lover, Larry Shaw, decided back in 1988 that March 14 would make a great "holiday" since its date is written as 3/14. Folks are especially
excited this year because the next two digits after the commonly known 3.14 are "15" which means 3/14/15 is a once in a lifetime occurrence!

Because the next digits in the pi sequence after 3.1415 are "926" a drawing for a free pie will take place at 9:26 a.m. this morning followed by a second drawing for a free pie at 3:14 in the afternoon.

No purchase is necessary, nor do you need to be present to win.

Everyone is invited to join in on the fun and food. It's going to be a delicious day at The Palms Grill Cafe.

The Grill is located in downtown Atlanta on Historic Rt. 66, at 114 SW Arch Street.
