The experience of being a pedestrian on Atlanta streets -- especially ones that connect to MARTA -- needs a lot of work. But when I'm riding the train, I get to take a break from those issues and just enjoy the view.

Atlanta looks great from a train window.

This is a CQ400 stan account. These trains are sooooo sleek and advanced, and I'm proud that my city is rolling them out (pun intended)

Whether you want a budget-friendly way to the airport for break or some fun excursions while campus is quiet, you can take MARTA to get around Atlanta.
Check out some of the top locations for your next trip and wherever MARTA takes you, safe travels, Eagles!

Peachtree Street this evening, as seen from the window of an in-motion MARTA bus. I love looking at the city from a bus window, especially at night. Atlanta needs to fall in love with buses, IMO. That's a recipe for urban success.

Atlanta will now be home to a 12-foot-statue of Kermit the Frog dressed as Charlie Chaplin. It will be outside the Center for Puppetry Arts in Midtown www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Please spread this far and wide.

A maker/artist space that I know and love called South River Studios burned down over night.

Many artist friends and artisans have lost everything.

Consider giving if you can

We need your help to keep our public service journalism going into 2026. We lost a major donor (Google) and have run a deficit in recent weeks.

But what we may lack in funding from billionaires or corporations, we have human decency, cultural competency, and a determination to pursue truth.
Trump may have banned hundreds of terms, but he can never dictate what we cover and what we don't cover.

Tell a friend about NewsMatch: from now until the end of the year, your new monthly donation is matched 36x (or your one-time donation QUADRUPLED!), up to $1,000.

50k more votes to go, and Overstreet and Rohit are tied, after Overstreet had the earlier advantage.

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia.

That seems...significant.

Decision Desk has called the Georgia PSC race for the Democratic candidates. The polls have been closed for 45 minutes. That's a drubbing.
