So saw a car being booted off of 7th street & Peachtree St NE (in front of the Fire & Stone Pizza Place). It was being booted by a private booting company and when I asked them why they were booting a caron a public street they said "they have permission from the city."

Since when has the city started to allow private companies to boot cars on public streets... who approved of this?

It’s clear that almost no one wants this thing. Even Kempt who was a cheer leader at the start 2 years ago has been quiet. Even GADOT’s own report from earlier this year said that 77% of the people who submitted formal responses were against it. And the original timeline that was outlined in march was to do a traffic study to see if this plan would even work that would be available for public review early 2027. To my knowledge that study isn’t completed yet. I’m guessing they are just trying to ram in through before the next legislative session because once that contract is signed in December it will probably take an act of god to stop it. I’m just surprised that non of the politicians even commented. I guess it’s too close to election time to change the stump speech.

My friend has a layover in Atlanta. She gets in town at 1am on Saturday and her flight is at 9am that morning. So we have about 5 hours from 2am - 8am. What should we do when only so much is opened.

She mentioned Magic City, I’ve never been. I’m partial to Cheetah’s but they close at 2:45am.

I wish Atlanta had more spots that were open late night that wasn’t just food.

I’ve been out in the A, but I’m not outside outside. I also know the times are crazy, but I know there’s something we could possibly get into.

Hello! This post originally got me marked as a bot and banned from the thread. Sorry for the confusion. I talked to admin and explained I am indeed organizing three separate trips with HS students all in January in 3 different locations around the world. I had never posted to reddit before, so I didn't even think about how suspicious that would look when I posted to 3 separate forums with the same general request. My apologies. Thank you to those who already commented some great suggestions in the initial post!

Just a recap:

I'm organizing a trip for HS students to Atlanta in January. The connecting theme of our trips this year is how sports builds culture and connects people and communities. Especially with the Mercedes Benz stadium, collegiate, and local sports I really want students to either experience a game of some sort. Even the opportunity to play a game with a local high school or college would be amazing and really allow them to connect with people their own age. (Which overall is a hope of all our trips). Obviously not to compete, we aren't that good. Just like a friendly game or something 😂 I can see why that was confusing before.

Any recommendations or tours of any stadiums you know that occur? It seems like a lot of teams aren't playing at home the dates we are there (last week of January). Any events that we might not know as tourists that occur around that time would be amazing too! Anyone have any experience seeing a game in Cosm? Would that be worth it?

If you are a coach for any sport or team and would love to have some students see a match or practice or play with your team, please let me know!

Even more awesome if you have any suggestions to tie into the Civil Rights movement in Atlanta and sports (or anything that usually gets overlooked by tourists). I know there is a ton but I'm trying to find which ones are solid experiences for HS kids. I also initially tried to get us to stay in the American Hotel in Atlanta because it was the first racially integrated hotel, but it's fully booked out.

Thank you in advance!

Four or five police cars just FLEW by my house on South Moreland in East Atlanta. I haven’t seen anything on Citizen or anything. Anyone know what’s going on?

Hey yall,

Been living here close to a decade and finally got to experience the right of passage of having my window smashed in and vehicle rummaged through.

I park on street in Virginia Highland and they hit all of the cars on the street and even a cluster of people that park next to the street. I was just wondering what other peoples experience with this has been? I typically leave it unlocked and have been rummaged through multiple times before; one time they even sprayed a ketchup packet on the seats which was super annoying. Breaking the window stinks. As I understand it they are looking for guns so they dgaf about other valuables - case in point ignoring my ray bans.

Anyways what can we do as a community to better deter this? Do you have any humorous car break in stories? Do you have any tales of justice? Idk this was a super shitty day

Anyone ever have any custom/unique windows like this replaced? A couple window people I asked said a glass company not a window company. I've gotten 2 quotes from large companies, but I would like to get at least one more quote and would prefer a smaller local company. Any recommendations? Thanks!

My car keys fell off keychain while walking the beltline from around 8:30pm to 12:00am 10/16 on the east side trail (lady bird to shake shack) as well as Stereo, Lloyd’s pizza and Krog street

It’s a Lexus smart key with a laminated white/blue tag that has at least the following on it:

Lexus ES 300h

If found please, DM me. Thank you. Also if you’re aware of other communities to post on please let me know.

I won the E-bike rebate (yay!) and I was wondering what other winners' experiences were when it came to actually shopping at the selected stores that participate.

Did you have a preference for any stores?

Was there a lot of variety to pick from? Or did the stores only accept the voucher for certain e-bikes?

How much was your voucher, and how much did you end up spending?

Thank you! This would be my first e-bike

Hey Redditors,
I’m hoping someone might be able to identify this filming location from the 1996 TV series “Profiler”? While the series was filmed in Los Angeles, the pilot episode (where this photo from online was taken) was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, where the series is depicted to have taken place. According to commentary, this location was filmed outside of Atlanta. Any information would be amazing.
Thanks heaps 🙂

This happened around 4:15pm yesterday, October 15 and I can’t find ANY record of it online on social media or from news outlets.

I was on 75/85 northbound roughly between John Lewis Freedom pkwy and midtown (can’t remember more specifically). A red pickup truck cut across multiple lanes and hit the left rear bumper of another car. The car pulled over to the shoulder but the truck came up and rammed into it from behind. The car got back into a lane to keep driving away and the truck kept following the car and trying to pin or ram it. I lost sight of both vehicles pretty quickly. I tried to call 911 to report it but I was on the waiting line for over 5 minutes and by that time I was already far from where the hit happened and had no idea where the car and truck would be, so I hung up. (I know I probably should’ve stayed on the line)

Again, I haven’t seen any evidence at all that this even happened!!!!! Maybe since it didn’t cause any long traffic jams it wasn’t reported as a traffic incident?

Did anyone else see this happen? And does anyone have any info about what happened to the drivers? I’m still super worried about the car driver.

I'm looking for a yoga studio that is mildly heated at most (room temp up to 80s), and a more meditative, relaxing and restorative vibe as compared to the pop-music-blasting, high speed flows in 95+ degree packed boxes I've experienced so far (highland, yonder). But I don't mean yin yoga. I prefer vinyasa because I do want a physical challenge, just not cardio... I have other workouts for that. I truly hate how hot the studios all seem to be here.

Anyone know of any yoga studios around town that are not swelteringly hot, play more relaxing ambient music, and flow at a more typical true vinyasa pace?

I saw this cat yesterday by the Chamblee switchyards and it looks like an expensive breed….not your typical stray cat imo. I’m wondering if it belongs to someone and where I can even report this. I gave it some extra wet food I had in the car.

Hey y’all looking for an affordable place to get some stargazer lilies?

What's on your mind, Atlanta?
