should've done this 30 years ago, next best time is today:

MARTA transit map with additional lines that would only begin to serve the actual form of the city, and would also require and encourage more transit oriented development across the core counties. Screw the racists and NIMBYs and build it tomorrow.

Very excited to see what you all come up with for this: As we look at the future of MARTA, @ajc.com wants to see your MARTA dream map. Take this image, draw the rail or BRT lines you’d like to see and then send it back to us. We plan on featuring maps in future coverage: www.ajc.com/news/2025/10...

Early MARTA plans called for 97 miles of rail across five counties. For @ajc.com, I did a deep-dive into why that and other ideas never fully came to fruition: www.ajc.com/news/2025/10...

Maxwell told the DOJ she stepped away from Epstein around 2003.

But the emails show that they were emailing almost every day, even as he prepared to serve his 2008 jail sentence.

Anecdata of 1: I've spent the week messaging with my doctor's office (Emory) about getting a prescription. Was able to make an appointment at Walgreens for today, but rescheduled it because I haven't gotten the prescription yet.

The $500 million project remaking the junction at I-75 and I-16 in Macon began in 2017 and but isn't going to wrap up any time soon, @joekovacjr.bsky.social reports. An update on the construction: www.ajc.com/news/2025/09...

Construction on ‘dicey’ Georgia interstate interchange won’t end soon

The construction-gnarled nexus of two interstates linking Atlanta and Savannah in Middle Georgia are a jumble of snaking lane shifts and a source of headaches - or worse.

In Georgia, ICE teamed up with local police to arrest immigrant workers outside a majority-Hispanic mobile home park.

"You could do this every day," a police officer is heard saying in body cam footage.

“Nothing would make me happier,” an ICE agent replied.

Clyde Higgs tells @nytimes.com that light rail isn’t likely to run the entire length of the Beltline:

Clyde Higgs, the president and chief executive of Atlanta Beltline Inc., pushed back on the criticism during an interview. He reaffirmed his support for light rail on the Beltline, but he also said that ultimately, a rail line wasn’t likely to traverse the entire 22-mile circuit. Instead, he said, there might be rail on portions of the trail — for example, on the South Side, as the mayor proposes, where the path is still being developed — and “another solution” for the East Side that could involve self-driving vehicles.

When a new section of the Atlanta Beltline opened recently, it was reason to celebrate: The path encircling the Georgia capital now extends 13 miles. But some in Black neighborhoods fear the gentrification and displacement associated with the Beltline. My latest 👇
