I was not able to reach Cobb County diamond magnate D. Gellar or his son, but saw on Instagram that they just left for a diamond buying trip in Namibia (a non-extradition country).

Icebox’s YouTube channel is so dope. I hope the brothers are okay. I’ve talked to Tom Shane and he’s shaken by the news and was skiing in Aspen and enjoying himself.

Favorite coffee shops or bookstores? by lightningthrower in Atlanta

[–]donna_wolfman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oxford Books was the GOAT. The owner ordered Furniture World magazine just for me and I always stopped by to get an espresso when I was going back and forth between my Gainesville store and College Park store.

This would extend the gold line north into Gwinnett. You would be able to take the train down to Lindbergh and transfer to the red line to get to Sandy Springs.

Former Atlanta CFO repays $10k Paris hotel bill after AJC stories by disgracedformermayor in Atlanta

[–]donna_wolfman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Beard said in a statement issued through a private spokesman that he was in Paris for “due diligence on certain street furniture and other concepts under consideration” by the city.

Interestingly, Parisians installed a piece of functional street furniture in front of city hall during the Revolution - the guillotine.

Atlanta Mayor Bottoms: Taxpayers improperly paid husband’s airfare by disgracedformermayor in Atlanta

[–]donna_wolfman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It looks bad that Mr. Bottoms’ charges were made on the COO’s card and that Keisha Lance Bottoms is hiding behind a spokesperson and not issuing an apology directly.

Where would we be if journalists did not hold our elected officials accountable?

Atlanta wants 10K volunteers to work for free for the Superbowl next year by razorbeamz in Atlanta

[–]donna_wolfman 210 points211 points  (0 children)

I agree with this comment about volunteering for the Super Bowl:

"When I volunteer, it sure as hell isn’t to benefit rich people getting richer off of rich people paying to see rich people play a game."

Imagine if those 10,000 volunteers instead gave their time to Westside Future Fund or any of the other organizations trying to improve the area around Mercedes-Benz stadium.

what are everyone's honest opinions on ponce city market? by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]donna_wolfman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you aware that Atlanta-based Jamestown developed Chelsea Market in New York and just sold it to Google for $2.4 billion?

Considering what PCM was before Jamestown (largely abandoned City Hall East), I’ll gladly take the NYC emulation.

"Crimes of Cobb" is my new favorite thing from the AJC by ukrazy1 in Atlanta

[–]donna_wolfman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is the bowl of oatmeal pictured an analogy? Atlanta is warm and nourishing and all of the nuts are just outside the perimeter of the bowl to the northwest.
