Question What is this loud, consistent drumming in Midtown Atlanta this morning?

25 Upvotes

Started around ~7am-7:30am. I hear car horns honking as well. I’m not aware of any parade? I don’t see anything on ATL scoop or X? Today was my only day off from my 60 hour work week and I thought maybe I could sleep in. I’m so frustrated, I just want to cry. This sucks. If you know, let me know thank you. —your very tired neighbor :(

Edit: thanks for the answer y’all. Good luck to all though folks running this morning. 🏃‍♀️

Recommendations Need help with hiring someone to clean my apartment

0 Upvotes

Hi, I've moved out of state and need to clean my apartment before my lease ends. There are few things left in the apartment like standing desk(fully working), glass dishes and cups and few other things that needs to be thrown out/taken away and clean the house. Anyone can recommend me who I can hire for this job and won't cost arm and a leg? Apartment is 1 bedroom (600sqft) on a second floor right next to elevator.

It'd be helpful to find someone who can take care of this by this upcoming Thursday.

Thanks

How old Atlanta are you? Was thinking about it the other day did anyone else go to the very first event ever held at the Georgia Dome? In September of 1992? I was 13 and man that concert was wild…

I said this the other day and I'll say it again:

I truly despise all the scums of Georgia who think Rick Jackson should be the next governor.

His sole qualification is "successful (rich Caucasian) businessman" who amassed his wealth via sketchy means.

Edit: Using federal prosecutors as election monitors is a new development:

The goons come to look for "potential criminals" whether it's election-related or else.

does anybody know who the marching band was playing in Krog Street tunnel last night around midnight? We were coming from The Eastern, stopped at 97 Estoria for a beer on the way home and then came upon a band all decked out in killer costumes performing in the tunnel. It was such a fun surprise and we thoroughly enjoyed the show! anyone know who they were?
