@conorsen The things that immediately come to mind are things where intoxication leads to lower performance or inability to participate in the activity -Run Clubs -Martial Arts Classes -Yoga -Rock Climbing -Games (Pokemon/Magic/etc)

What are some examples of sober non-religious cultures that provide opportunities for disconnected individuals to build trust and form relationships?

@ggraham I think they bought the parcel in the early 90s when midtown wasn’t the marquees address it is today and then opened it in 2001. The building itself was a consolidation of multiple headquarters. I’m just glad it’s well designed and not a Richard B Russell style eyesore.

As part of my ongoing investigation. I will walk by the hidden side entrance at about 5:15 and report back. Do you have a theory as to why theirs is the most expensive building conceivable on the most expensive and prominent commercial real estate in Atlanta? That’s normally the type of building in which one might find an emperor and his entourage, a secret and all-powerful society of master villains, or the headquarters of a fabulously wealthy cult. I’d expect policy advisors to be in a few floors of a normal mid-block office building.

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. What happens in this building? I attended a talk here once years ago on a weekday morning, and aside from our 20 person group, it was eerily empty. I walk by often and very rarely see anyone enter or leave. It’s 11am now, and the only signs of life are a dozen workers maintaining the perfectly manicured landscaping. It’s arguably the most luxuriously built commercial building in the city on the most expensive real estate in the city (10th & Peachtree). What is going on in here?

@ggraham The employee entrance is actually to the side so that’s the “busy” part at beginning / end of day.

@ggraham I know some folks that work there. Lots of research to guide financial policy (surveying business owners, measuring economic indicators, etc). They also oversee all the banks in their region to ensure balance sheet risk, etc. Not to mention the clearance house role.

@JonnyBird @ATLTechVillage @GetGreenzie @SeeBQ Our first office nearly 20 years ago was in the top floor of 227 Mitchell. So glad to see Hotel Row and South Downtown in good hands.

We haven’t opened @ATLTechVillage - Downtown yet and @GetGreenzie, CEO @SeeBQ is already holding leadership meetings here. Thank you to all the entrepreneurs helping build desks and move furniture! The buzz is electric!

Early Voting for School Board started this week for APS. Here's the Council of Intown Neighborhoods and Schools Voter Guide where each candidate answered 11 key questions to showcase their positions. I'll be voting for @kenzeff for District 3. drive.google.com/file/d/1Ktv5bR…

Being in your early 40’s is interesting because you’ve finally been alive long enough to experience trends, form an opinion about how those trends are permanent, see that opinion validated…and then see things change again, making you realize the impermanence of everything.

The SR-71 blackbird is a marvel of engineering. Even today.

This number of fights is just insane for a 26 year old.

An opportune moment for functional government Our economy having a huge housing shortage w high interest rates wiping out the private market is the ideal time for governments to create funding programs to bridge gap Instead, we’re left to just wait and watch while rents rise

As federal funds run out, 1 in 4 daycares could soon close, adding new strain to a nation already struggling with a profound lack of child care. The ripples will be vast: 3.2M kids without care, fewer moms in the workforce and a $10.6B hit to the economy.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/…

Celebrating 15 years married tonight. Weather in ATL couldn’t be more perfect.

Why is the architect dressed like this?

😬

Not excited about another chickfila going into this spot on Ponce. Not a great use of real estate.

From ⁦⁦⁦@bycassidy⁩ The decision contradicts the recommendation of a tribunal of retired educators who were selected to review the case and advise the school board. ajc.com/education/cobb…

@FelipeCar It’s great. Go early. Grab a drink at candler park market to kill the time while you wait for a table.

Anyone in ATL been to Gigi's Italian Kitchen?

If someone is qualified to be the interim School Superintendent for the next 12 months, then they should have a real shot at earning the job and not just be replaced by some shiny object from another city a year from now.
