Office space
Following up on my post from yesterday, I'm snooping around town (Atlanta) looking for some office space. I'm mainly looking in and around the Decatur area, so if you're in the ATL and know of something available, or coming available soon, drop me a line. Danke....Continue
January 16, 2004Atlantic Station
In the mid-1990s, when I was living in Charleston, South Carolina, and Atlanta was hosting the Summer Olympics, a newspaper reporter asked Nigel Redden, the General Director of Spoleto Festival USA (where I was employed as a media relations coordinator for two years), to compare the urban planning of Charleston to Atlanta, and how he thought downtown Atlanta could be...Continue
August 21, 2002So Long Barr and McKinney
Today is a very good day for the state of Georgia. Last night voters rightfully kicked out of office two supreme nut jobs from both sides of the political aisle - Republican Rep. Bob Barr, the self-righteous, ultra-right wing moralist and Democrat Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who made a fool out of herself for flat-out accusing the Bush administration of covering...Continue
July 02, 2002Elvis in the Park
Tonight we say goodbye to another rousing summer of Screen On The Green - an annual film festival presented by Turner and HBO featuring classic Hollywood flicks displayed outdoors on a big screen in Piedmont Park. Because the event is free, requires no tickets, and allows in all the beer, wine and food you can carry, the event is a...Continue
June 26, 2002Awash in Rainbows
Let the games begin. Midtown Atlanta, my neck of the woods, is awash in rainbows for this weekend's Atlanta Pride festival. Need the perfect playlist for your own gay pride party? Creative Loafing has published the 40 greatest gay anthems of all time to get your party started. Frankie Goes to Hollywood is a given, but R.E.M.? Judas Priest?...Continue
June 21, 2002Outside My Window
Ripped from the newsfeed of k10k, a really swank collection of skyscrapers the world over, organized geographically. This is what I see from our front porch. The Bank of America Plaza is truly beautiful at night....Continue
May 22, 2002CNN New York
As I wrote all the way back in September, I have a long held concern that CNN may be on the verge of moving, lock stock and barrel, up to New York. The writing is on the wall, and all arrows seem to point in that direction. Today the New York Observer writes: Is this latest Manhattan splashdown further evidence...Continue
April 18, 2002Santa and the Confederate Flag
Sometimes I miss the days I lived in South Carolina. And then, sometimes I don't. A shining example of what a good friend of mine calls, "the festering madness of the deep south."...Continue
March 05, 2002Atlanta Apple Store Opening May 11
A sign has been posted outside Apple's soon-to-be Lenox Square retail store stating it will open May 11, 2002. There's no way in hell I'm lining up at 6am to be of the first geeks in the door, but I'll definitely drop in at some point to see that purty new iMac up close in person....Continue
February 10, 2002Apple Store Coming To Atlanta
A sign was posted on wall covering a retail space formerly occupied by Eddie Bauer in Lenox Square mall indicating that an Apple Store is "coming soon." Atlanta creatives (you all DO use Macs, right?) will now have a place to pick up update CDs, get on-site repairs, and feel that special Gap-meets-John Pawson glow. Atlanta isn't listed on Apple's...Continue
November 23, 2001A window to the past
A few days ago I was participating in that time-old Atlanta tradition of sitting in traffic, watching giant gas-sucking SUV's swerve around me driven by self-absorbed scumbags chatting on their cell phones in their desperate effort to get home to their suburban ranches before sundown.Atlanta dies everyday at 5pm. Skyscrapers empty like beads in a rain stick, shiny new cars...Continue
