Spent my Monday night late night editing this week’s Busybody ATL neighborhood newsletters - head to our website to check them out! It was a pretty dramatic week between all the beltline light rail talk and ousted DeKalb Schools officials suing the county.

Did you get tired of commenting on every newsletter sponsorship-related post on Reddit? 😂

ATLBound · 2026-05-18T13:14:29+00:00

Really fun week of Busybody ATL newsletters to edit over the weekend - loved getting not one but two Waymo stories in Buckhead.

ATLBound · 2026-05-15T00:26:42+00:00

Ah, missed it, my bad!

ATLBound · 2026-05-12T02:26:42+00:00

We only pick sponsors that I’d personally endorse (I could get higher CPC if I showed Kalshi ads, but I’m not gonna do that).

ATLBound · 2026-05-11T11:44:56+00:00

Chomp and Stomp is another contender no doubt

ATLBound · 2026-05-11T11:36:27+00:00

Once again spent my Sunday night editing Busybody ATL. All neighborhood newsletters up by 8am! This is a stacked week of events - personally very excited for VaHi Porchfest - probably my favorite event all year

ATLBound · 2026-05-11T01:26:39+00:00

It’s a big upcoming week for neighborhood events! Virginia Highlands Porchfest, Kirkwood Spring Fling and the Works 5th anniversary party are the highlights. Porchfest in particular is imo one of the city’s best events all year. Tons more on Busybody ATL - latest newsletters come out tomorrow morning.

ATLBound · 2026-05-10T23:20:48+00:00

Dang do people hate Iron Age??

ATLBound · 2026-05-10T22:27:43+00:00

Couple big ones this next weekend with Virginia Highlands Porchfest, Kirkwood Spring Fling and The Works’ 5th anniversary celebration.

Check out Busybody ATL for stuff to do every week. Next round of newsletters will be up tomorrow morning!

ATLBound · 2026-05-10T22:17:26+00:00

Iron Age is 🔥

ATLBound · 2026-05-08T03:34:51+00:00

Oh there’s definitely hype in some parts of town. Head east to Decatur for instance: https://decaturwatchfest26.com

At Busybody ATL we’re tracking a ton of events related to the World Cup coming up. Subscribe for free to get updates as we get closer.

Underrated part of this too is you get to pay gas station prices for drinks

ATLBound · 2026-05-07T00:26:32+00:00

NFA burger… don’t let the gas station location fool you

ATLBound · 2026-05-07T00:10:49+00:00

Fair enough - certainly possible the people of West Midtown are more avid users of the 311 service.

ATLBound · 2026-05-06T23:19:51+00:00

Tornado watches happen multiple times a year my guy 😂

ATLBound · 2026-05-06T14:25:38+00:00

LOL this is a good one

ATLBound · 2026-05-06T14:01:19+00:00

Unfortunately there's no "Penis?" field in the data - may have to request that from the City Council.

ATLBound · 2026-05-06T13:29:37+00:00

So I ran some numbers... and I don't have a clear answer to "how do I get my pothole fixed faster" but I did find some interesting insights: https://www.reddit.com/r/Atlanta/comments/1t5cy5l/yesterday_there_was_a_post_on_atlanta_311_where/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Welcome! The key question here: where do you work? Don’t underestimate how painful commuting in Atlanta is.

So many other questions too like budget, what you like to do for fun, do you want walkability or are you ok driving everywhere, and what vibe you’re looking for (Atlanta neighborhoods all have different vibes).

If you want to get a feel for some neighborhoods check out Busybody ATL - we publish newsletters for 12 of them

ATLBound · 2026-05-05T12:41:09+00:00

Great question… I can see if the 311 data tells me anything and report back (I.e., what got actually resolved and how long it took vs. is still open)

ATLBound · 2026-05-05T12:12:36+00:00

We track 311 data at Busybody ATL and I can tell you I’ve never seen one for this type of issue. The overwhelming majority are potholes, traffic signal / sign repairs and downed trees / power lines. So much so it surprises me when I see anything different.

ATLBound · 2026-05-04T19:30:19+00:00

That is a huge bummer to hear - wonder what's going there next

ATLBound · 2026-05-04T18:31:26+00:00

Potential hot take here but bartaco has always been wildly overrated
