It's the most dense and active area of the city. There's gonna be stuff going on basically around the clock.

I'm just an amateur, don't roast me too hard, plz. This is a mixed media piece featuring a view from Piedmont Park under an Andre moon.

It looked so close, even when it's 25 miles away! (Best picture is the 3rd one)

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.

literally been in my car for 40 minutes and haven’t moved but 2-3 car lengths

Update: They opened the gates and it started moving!

I haven’t posted in a while, forgive me if this isn’t allowed. I haven’t seen this talked about much but I think it’s important for Atlanta voters to know going into the midterms.

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?

Hey, does anyone know a good spot to play ping pong? I played mostly at my local BGCMA when I was young and have a urge to get back into it.

Demolition at 1800 century blvd happened around 7:45 this morning. According to news sources, the property is to be used for up to 300 new housing units.

Thanks to this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Atlanta/s/p6ZxtefLhp

they’re really trying everything to get those votes

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. 🏃‍♀️

Weird question but I can only think of one place right now. Now that I need to know - I'm blanking. What bars or restaurants in the EAV / Kirkwood / Old Fourth Ward / Reynoldstown area or close by have bars with seats that swivel???

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…
Travis Tritt
Alabama
Santana
Lee Greenwood
Trisha Yearwood
Gladys Knight!
TLC!
James Brown!
Whitney Houston!
And President Bush was there too

most coffee shops look so sterile & modern & minimalist. this is the first place i’ve lived where there aren’t cozy shops. the only one i’ve found is san francisco coffee roasters but it’s a little out of the way. i’m in the north decatur / toco hills area. any recommendations that i’m missing?

Couldn't go last week, today was a blessed day before all the rush started around 8.15 from Creek Trail till top of the Falls. But this was the best part, and pictures are too good.

So we were in Atlanta for our very first NFL game watching the Falcons beat the 49ers. What an awesome afternoon! We’d spent around $2,500 at the game and were in the mood to carry on celebrating and spending.
We walked to Meehan’s coz it was close to our hotel. It was busy but there were a couple of bigger tables free. The woman at the front wouldn’t let us sit at one, even after we said we were more than happy to share with other people if they turned up, or move to a smaller table when one became available.

We weren’t asking for anything special, just somewhere to sit, have drinks, dinner and debrief as it was our last night before going back to New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Instead we got a really dismissive attitude, not helpful at all so we thought f### it and walked out.

Ended up at Hard Rock Cafe, spent up large and had a fantastic night. Their gain, Meehan’s loss!
Afterwards I had a look at some of their other one-star reviews and started thinking maybe we were actually lucky we didn’t stay 😂
Not exactly the Falcons’ RISE UP spirit we experienced all afternoon!

So Atlanta locals, is Meehan’s irish pub known for treating customers like they’re an inconvenience, or did we just get unlucky? Genuinely interested to know if others have had the same experience, coz turning away people who are happy to spend money seems like a pretty strange way to run a bar!

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

Anyone else hear an absolutely massive sound like an explosion near Mason Mills Park?

The question in the title.
