The Official Atlanta Thread: Roswell Residents Need Not Respond

I just saw a bizarre attack add claiming Lance Bottoms failed to pay her water bill over 75 times.

 

That's been a pretty big issue for a while.

Atlanta has fucking awful billing. I know numerous ppl that have gotten random $1,500 bills. But most of them contest it vs not pay it.

She just "paid" her normal amount each month

 

Lol my friend and I tried to sell our tickets when we found out it was an x ambassadors concert but no luck. We try to time it so we show up after the first opener, but we missed the first 8 PTM songs. Stayed for about 45 minutes and left before ambassadors came on. Fuck that place.

 

Daaaaamn that blows. I went only for PTM and they we're awesome. Stayed for most of X Ambassadors just for the hell of it and thought they we're pretty awful. Lead singer makes me cringe pretty hard.

 

I saw ptm at the masquerade a couple years ago and again at terminal west earlier this year, so I’m not too upset, but it blows buying a ticket and missing the only thing you wanted to see. I couldn’t bring myself to stay for any x ambassadors.

 

How many songs did they play off the Evil Friends album?

That's one of my favorite albums ever.

 

I saw PTM earlier this year and they lived up, and saw Cut Copy last night and they also lived up.

 

If I could have sold my ptm tickets I would have gone to cut copy, how was that show?

 

Sounds like you guys have excellent taste in music. See y’all at the revivalists?

 

So good

 

Hell no, not in high school

 

I saw them at candler park music fest a while ago, I’m debating on whether to go to the tab.

 

In seriousness I should give their other stuff a closer listen.

 

Fuck both mayor candidates honestly

 

Probably the only time I'm glad I don't live in the city. They both seem awful and I'd have a hard time justifying voting for either.

 

I don't love Norwood but she has a diverse coalition of endorsements and Bottoms is mired in several potential scandals. I think it's a pretty easy choice between the two even if neither is ideal. Good thread:

 

Curbed Poll - most annoying user of the Beltline

https://atlanta.curbed.com/2017/12/5/16738294/most-annoying-atlanta-beltline-patron-vote-now

 

Thought the oblivious powwow would be the obvious choice but I always hate the aggravated speed-bikers even more.

 

Oblivious pow wow for me... Hate it when there's a huge, slow-moving group taking up the entire path.

 

This thing is 8 feet wide so no reason the 5 of us shouldn't slowly walk shoulder to shoulder

 

fuck powwowers

 

Maybe Buckhead Betty should have distanced herself from Handel and Trump

 

So, Allen Brothers (steak distributor) distributes to Rathbun, chops, and Hal's. The more you know.

 

Going to be in Atlanta for a birthday next weekend. Any big events going on I should know about? Also, for dinner on a Saturday, is getting seated at the Staplehouse bar even a remote possibility? I'm sure we'd have to show up super early. Does that place live up to the hype?

Other dinner options we're considering for Saturday:

Bones
Brush Izakaya omakase menu
Miller Union
BoccaLupo

Any thoughts? Just going to be me and my gf so not necessarily looking for a 4 am night, but interested to know what the good neighborhoods are for the late 20s/30s crowd. Never really hung out in Atlanta before

 

Maybe caped to the airport money too. Still, 700 votes is a damn close margin

 

I love all the places you listed. Staplehouse bar is going to be a crapshoot so I'd have a backup option. BoccaLupo is one of my favorite places in town, everything I've had there was fantastic. Miller Union is great as well.

The other two are good meals but not anything you'll write home about.

 

Has anyone gone to that new Deep End place yet?

 

Jesus, snow is actually starting to fall hard here in Doraville. Not sticking to the roads yet, but I'll likely pick the kiddo up early from daycare. My wife doesn't get off work until 7pm though so I hope the roads won't have ice on them by that point.

 

As a 2014 survivor....ur wife needs to get him before it's dark.

This is eerily similar to Snowpocalypse 2014.

Snows all day, doesn't stick bc just above freezing then night falls and we go below freezing and everything turns to shit

 

I wouldn’t let your wife stay that late. Better safe than sorry.

 

yea its starting to really come down

 

Really pretty flakes.

 

She works at a mental health facility with a hospital, I won't be surprised if they don't let her leave early.

 

Is MARTa running?

 

We've got an inch accumulation on the roof and grass so far in East Lake, looks like a winter wonderland out there.

 

PARKING LOT out there. Most stressful 2 mile drive of my life taking the kiddo home from daycare, car skidded briefly a couple of times.

 

Yes

 

Thanks. A tad late on the response!

What will the roads be like tomorrow around noon? A few of us are coming down to Top Golf

 

Better late than never!

 

So I'm standing on my porch in Post Brookhaven Apartments smoking a cigarette and I see a Georgia Power truck roll by to the back of my building. I'm thinking that's weird the power isn't even out. I tell my girlfriend "They're are about to turn off our power and give it to a richer neighborhood" obviously just kidding as that makes no sense.

Then the power goes off. I go outside and see two Georgia Power workers with some cones or some shit just kind of wandering around. They then get back in there truck and wait around for about 10 minutes and leave.

Now I have no power.

What in the actual fuck did I just witness?

 

Good chance they are shit.

It's gonna freeze at 6pm and we're supposed to get another inch of snow over night. Not supposed to get above freezing until 9am

 

I had just gotten off the train in Lindbergh when I saw you comment

 

So should I stay walking distance with my boozing tonight?

 

You are welcome!

 

I'd suggest yes

In town we got a decent amount of rains and it seemed to wash so.e if that slush away...so it might make everything better and less Ice on the road

 

Fuck. I'm up in Chattanooga and I think it is basically over for us. I was hopeful they would just be wet by noonish tomorrow

 

I tweeted at Georgia Power about it and my tweet was immediately deleted. I didn't even know that could happen.
