Tallahassee is a good college town, so that one definitely counts

I now get the phrase that people say if you see a black bird and can’t tell the difference of whether or not it’s a crow or raven, it’s a crow… And if you see a surprisingly big bird, you know it’s a raven

Today I was out with my dog and saw Raven in the wild for the first time… I can confirm that’s much bigger than expected

I was in Athens yesterday and I forgot how much I really enjoy college towns. And it got me to wondering are there any good black college towns?

Requirements:
-must have a college
-walkable
-doesn’t require a car
-non-college things to do on, near, and off campus

Which is part of the problem of why this era of Atlanta seems so off…in this essay, I will explain why not having proper local history, education, an obsession with with wealth, reality television, and failure to launch back home has led to…

I just saw some really tone def (black) Atlanta transplant posts and comments about why β€˜natives’ should be happy and grateful that transplants are here but then were wrong about a lot of people, history, and dates πŸ™ƒ

Your favorite local metro Atlanta columnist is back this week with@decaturish.bsky.social

Being the mayor is a full-time job and it may be time that we consider a reasonable level of salary. If not, it will continue to bring only rich people or those who can keep influencing local government.

Austin is doing the good work and could use a little bit more amplification and most importantly donations to help people get out of medical debt

If you have a few dollars please donate and if you don’t, please repost

I had a couple thoughts about the upcoming new Publix on Candler Road and Glenwood.

This is a sign that the Eastside market is reaching a saturation point and has to keep moving further… But also we missed the ball on adaptive reuse and design standards in #Atlanta

The Federal Reserve’s Neglected History of Racial segregation Recent events regarding Lisa Cook’s attempted firing by Donald Trump have convinced me to do a premium series on the history of racial segregation and the Federal Reserve. This is for a few reasons. F...

Also, considering local, nat’l and state media aren’t really pressing Kemp nor the Georgia GOP for an adequate response to this, it’s safe to say that if I’m the Democrats, I would not count on media being neutral or holding Republicans to same level of scrutiny going forward

If the Georgia Democrats have any common sense they’d be laying into Brian Kemp right now about the ICE raids at the plant taking away S Koreans and also the looming threat of National Guard occupation in Atlanta
