We got a bit off on the blog, seeing as we were researching for the next edition of Pecanne Log’s Rural Explorer on one of the hottest weekends in Georgia history and have had to spend DAYS furiously re-hydrating. But we just had a few last points we wanted to make this week to wrap up some key Best of Atlanta nominations.
The biggest rabble-rouser in the city, has to be Lunacy Black Market/all the Mitchell Street businesses. Those people know how to make a righteous fuss about being innovative businesspeople in a neglected gem of Downtown blocks. They’re scrappy enough defend their rights to run interesting places to eat and shop, and media savvy enough to make the news constantly speaking out against the the parking troubles, street closures, and kafkaesque regulations with which dear City Hall charms Atlanta’s small business owners.
231 Mitchell Street, S.W. (Downtown)
Most underrated thing about Atlanta? Riding the bus.
Side note: T-shirts I’ve seen on MARTA recently:
- “Salt kills snails, not players”
- “Same shirt, different day”
- “Sorry, I was drunk”
Most overrated thing: Riding the streetcar.
