Tracking Atlanta

Midtown Atlanta dine-in movie theater IPIC closing at Colony Square IPIC, the dine-in movie theater at Colony Square in midtown Atlanta, will close in April due to the company filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

This doesn’t surprise me at all, Atlanta has plenty of better movie theatres, but I hope Colony Square will continue to improve and survive roughdraftatlanta.com/2026/02/27/i...

Slip lane converted to sidewalk

Beautiful image of a slip lane becoming a new sidewalk in NW Atlanta! I love seeing slip lanes go away; these are awful spots for pedestrians.

Creating nicer places for walking involves hundreds of little changes like this. 🙌

Atlanta ranks worst in eviction rates with more total evictions than New York City The new report found there were multiple complexes that averaged an eviction a day.

In the past year, metro Atlanta saw more evictions than all of New York City—despite having *one-quarter* the renters.

Multiple Atlanta apartment complexes averaged an eviction a day.

"The numbers are mind-blowing," said Grace Hartley of Princeton's Eviction Lab.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that when Atlantans talk about places being "accessible," they usually mean "there's a bunch of free parking near the door."

I had optimistically assumed they mean there were great sidewalks, crosswalks, buses, and ADA ramps.

GEORGIA — “beloved teacher” Dr. Linda Davis killed in a car crash as ICE chased a man through the streets: www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s...

Help ACPC raise $65,000 The Atlanta Community Press Collective needs you to help us raise $65,000 to keep delivering the news that matters to Atlantans.

We've done numbers. We've tightened our belt. We've figured out how much we need to raise from the community to keep our work going.

We need you to help us raise $65,000 to ACPC keep operating at the level you expect from us until the second half of the year, when most of our revenue comes in.

Maybe if enough of them trip over tree roots, cracks, and bulging hexagonal tiles, the city will actually make the sidewalks ADA compliant

I got to use the streetcar today! After I had a great lunch from Afro Dish at the Municipal Market and bought some groceries at one of the produce stands at the Market, I took the streetcar a couple of stops so I could be a little closer for my walk back home. $1 (paid on the Breeze app). Worth it.

Peachtree Crosswalk Press Conference PRESS CONFERENCE RSVP Why This Event Lives have already been lost crossing Peachtree Street. The City of Atlanta has approved safety designs for this location, including a raised crosswalk that has ...

Join us tomorrow at noon, near 225 Peachtree Street, for a press conference to demand the city fulfill its promise to build a raised crosswalk. In addition, please sign the petition calling for change.

RSVP and sign: www.letspropelatl.org/peachtreepre...

With approved designs and funding in place, yet no sign of action, we say: a safer Peachtree Street should not be this difficult — nor this delayed. With lives lost at this very spot, additional delay will put more people at risk for injury and death.

Hey Georgia folks, is your employer on this list of firms with ICE/CBP contracts?

"Is it safe to drive in Atlanta? ATL DOT urges residents to stay off roads"

I'd love for this (from last weekend) to not be about winter weather and instead just be a general statement about keeping cars off the road. 😅

All the obstacles Atlanta politicians putting up to make it difficult to expand transit be like

Micah McClure of Black Male Initiative Georgia says the actions ICE is undertaking are the same actions that police forces have undertaken in Black neighborhoods for decades.

A hundred or so protestors stand outside the ICE office building

Maybe a hundred people are gathered outside the ICE field office in Downtown Atlanta to protest against the Trump administrations immigration policy and deportation campaign.
