    Move the Cyclorama? Whatever for? I love the Cyclorama for many reasons, not least of which is its location in lovely Grant Park. I shall write to Mayor Reed today.

    Haha! Thanks for sharing my Scottish exploits, DM! I’ve been told by a few commenters on AC that they’ve had much teenier bathrooms, especially when living in Asia. So I feel a little silly having thought my Edinburgh loo room was too teeny (I do have to turn sideways to get past the sink).

    I agree with Parker Cross! Don’t move the Cyclorama!

    Thanks for letting me stay informed on my beloved hometown while living across the pond, DM!

    It’s upsetting that the Tucker streetscape didn’t include bike lanes. This would have connected two existing bike facilities, the lanes on Idlewood and on Lavista. The sidewalks are more than wide enough that 4 feet could have been allocated. Shame on GDOT, ARC and Dekalb for not thinking comprehensively.

    This video of the Occupy Atlanta crowd both made me laugh hysterically and get a little concerned…

      Seems funny that a group protesting against “the man” is sitting there letting a man tell them what to say. Did they play Simon Says after this was over?

          Eh, it will take them decades to come to a consensus on how to defeat me…

          Now back to the agenda!
