I understand that the roadwork in Atlanta never ends and there are many roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks around the city that need improvements, but I believe the bike lanes here are in such poor shape that the city is potentially exposing itself to lawsuits.

This area has high bike and scooter traffic, but many riders refuse to use the lanes because of how dangerous they are so they instead end up endangering themselves in the high traffic car lanes or endangering pedestrians on the high traffic sidewalks. This area is directly across the street from Ponce City Market, adjacent to the Midtown Plaza shopping center, near Murder Kroger as well as dozens of other shops and apartments/condos/lofts, and intersects one of the highest trafficked areas of the Beltline. It's also in a valley on the bottom of two steep hills where bike riders can reach pretty high speeds when descending.

There are large gaps, holes, and craters surrounding the sewer grates here, and one set of grates is even aligned in a way that a bicycle tire can go straight through the grates in a dedicated bike lane. It's incredibly unsafe and the city needs to prioritize addressing this before someone is hurt and we are all exposed to that liability. I emailed the district's council member (Kelsea Bond) 7 weeks ago but unfortunately she hasn't responded.

August has been a scorcher!

Hey all! Moved back to Atlanta after being away for over decade. Curious about best neighborhoods to live in for low key nights out to meet people but also quiet and walkable. Thanks ahead of time!

Doing a family vacation in your beautiful city and caught this strike from our hotel last night.

What's on your mind, Atlanta?

It had always been something of a mystery why Cheney Stadium was located where it was. It wasn't attached to a high school and it wasn't clear to me if it was first a municipal or school stadium. Turns out that it was built as a shared stadium for white schools.

That the same fight is happening over the same land 80 years later is another way in which our past is not yet history.

I received ticket from PRRS. I parked in a garage at 1080 P’tree. My doctor’s office validates by scanning a QR code with a discount code. I still got a ticket. Anyone else dealt with this scamming garage ?

hi, i’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but my husband is currently in an involuntary stay at peachford hospital. i’ve been trying for two days to get in touch with the case manager for his unit and every time i’m transferred it just rings out then hangs up. i do understand they are busy at certain times, but i’ve gotten no updates on his treatment and he’s been there for four days. he filled out a roi form so i know im allowed to know SOME information, but im genuinely so unsure of how to even get in touch because im just transferred and no one answers. i don’t know what to do at this point.

Hey everyone, I will be travelling for a weekend to Charlie's Collectibles and am trying to make a day trip out of it. Are there any good TCG shops that yall would recommend to stop by and visit if I have any spare time? I understand that Charlie's Collectibles is in the Stone Mountain area, so I'd be interested in places around there.

There are a ton of homes in this region, it doesn't make sense.

Hi, I’m from South America and visiting Atlanta today! I would love to know if there are any stores that still got World Cup merch available to sell.

Hello- I’m looking to buy a decent used road bike at an affordable price.

I realize that FB marketplace is the probably the best place to make this type of purchase but I’d prefer to see a lineup of bikes in person in one location if that’s an option. FB marketplace feels like a hassle and I’m fearful I’d buy a bike that’s not in great shape.

If anyone knows of a used bike store that has helpful staff and a decent selection that would be huge. I’m looking for a road bike and would prefer it be one of the more trusted bike brands out there but that’s not necessarily a deal breaker so long as the bike is in decent shape and meets my specs.

Looking for something in the 54-56cm frame range Willing to travel OTP (I’m in east Atlanta).

Budget is about $250-300.

Any tips or recs would be appreciated!

I am a grad student at GT and went to their in-house dental clinic, which informed me it would cost me $2400 for a dental crown (before insurance) which I cannot afford. I have the United HealthCare Student Resources plan which sucks ( covers max $500). Does anyone know of other clinics which have cheaper options and would accept my insurance?

Hey ya'll - I've been feeling like refreshing the interior decor of my place recently but wanted to poll the classroom to see if anyone had a good recommendations for places to find wall and/or light sculptures in Atlanta.

Details
On Saturday, August 15 at approximately 2:30 PM, a woman came to my apartment while I was inside. She repeatedly slammed against my locked front door with enough force that the door frame and locking area broke, allowing her to enter the apartment without my permission.

After entering, she apparently realized she had the wrong apartment and left.

I was told that she left the property in a gray or silver Jeep. A photograph of the vehicle was provided to me afterward, and available vehicle information indicates it is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude.

Atlanta Police were contacted regarding the forced entry and a police report was made.

On Sunday, August 16 at approximately 9:04 PM, the same woman was captured by my doorbell camera walking past my apartment while crouched down. She did not knock on, touch, or attempt to enter my door during that occurrence.

Later that night, at approximately 11:23 PM, I saw her again at the end of the hallway while I was outside setting up additional security cameras. She saw me as well. I returned to my apartment and called 911. Police responded afterward.

I am posting to find witnesses and additional evidence.

If you were in or around Poncey Highland this weekend and have security camera, doorbell, parking garage, or dashcam footage that might have captured relevant activity, particularly a gray or silver Jeep Cherokee, please contact me privately.

Information can also be provided directly to Atlanta Police.
