Streetalk: How do your hometowns art festivals compare with Atlantas?

05:45AM, 05.13.08

Bruce, Philadelphia: I like Atlanta. It's got some cool, underground culture. Philadelphia's art scene is great, but it's not much of a festival town. People in Philly leave in the summer and go to the beach. And Philly is a union town so it's too expensive to put on a festival. You'd have four guys [...]

Quietly launched in January 2007 to foster a word-of-mouth following, the site initially used material from FARKtv before hiring a number [...]

Shes the mayor, not the queen

05:28PM, 05.12.08

Although it's fun to watch Mayor Shirley Franklin and AJC Editorial Page Editor Cynthia Tucker lob rhetorical grenades at each other, one thing is clear: Tucker was entirely right in describing Atlanta's "sorry financial shape" as Franklin enters the final months of her regime. If anything, the AJC editor was too polite. One thing is also [...]
