Why are we humoring the Hawks when they haven't brought home any championships? lol

Yep, L5P was great. Love the exterior design of The Vortex and Savage Pizza.
I assume it's gone through a great deal of gentrification recently?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That's overall chump change, and they are actually being cool and just renovating vs the fucking Braves boondoggle with their stadium.
Congrats! Where in Atlanta will you live?
We are in the Cobb County twilight zone aka "Smyrnings" or "fake Vinings" just inside the perimeter. When we were house hunting during the summer we saw the same Indian and Japanese couples at each open house we visited which gave us good vibes because my wife and I are both minorities as well. Nearly all our friends live in lily-white areas like Peachtree City and we have had less than ideal interactions with the locals while house-hunting over there.
Living in the perimeter was important to us, as was diversity. While we know we are part of a larger trend that's changing the demographics of the area, we don't see ourselves as symbols or agents of change. We just want to be good neighbors that pay our taxes, pick up after our dog, and support the many local businesses in the surrounding areas. We're hoping ATL will continue to treat us well!

Depends on where you are looking to live? Buckhead, Midtown, West Midtown? Prices are higher of course near hot spots mentioned.
1BR starts anywhere from $1100-1400+; again just depends on part of the city. You could look into a small studio or loft for $800-1k or so.
Plus if you're willing to live outside the perimeter (some of which is along the MARTA rail), you can get some very nice rentals for a lot less than this.
I think it's really going to depend on the job and whether you mean before or after you have your degree. The job market in the US in general is significantly better than it was 6-7 years ago, but still not incredible.

When I was attending Georgia state, the would close off streets for shooting and stuff like that. There's a lot of open casting calls. As far as seeing celebrities, I haven't ran across any lol. That was a few years ago however.

Pretty much. Rather than put money to troubled school he wants to lump them all together and have charter schools take over.
All the time. I live in Decatur and work in Buckhead and seem to see at least 1 filming (tv and movies) a week just driving between the two. Yellow signs everywhere. just saw Finding Steve McQueen at the local market last week. Halt and Catch Fire seems to have been shooting here for a few years straight. It's kind of cool but can get in the way quite often.
Lots of jobs but not sure how hard it is to get one. Those who seem to get work seem to work on everything (when not doing Walking Dead).
Are the wildfires up north spreading?

Was raking the leaves off the ground and dust was coming up from where my grass used to be. Didn't mow, because last time it was a recreation of Mad Max.
You can see the haze in the air, particularly right now, but no smoke smell here in Cobb.

2 days later, and still hazy outside. Can still smell it very well.
Doesn't seem like it, just strong winds pushing the existing fire's smoke down here.

Yeah could really see the haze in Cobb at sunset. Going up through Woodstock you can smell smoke pretty strongly.
It's the worst it's been here today in Conyers. Eyes are burning, somewhat hard to breathe. UGH!
What are the chances it reaches much farther south, or near Florida?

A friend of mine works doing set dressing, and I've got a couple of other friends who do prop construction and makeup. They work pretty steadily.
As others have said, there's a ton of casting calls for extras. For anything else, though, you're probably looking at needing a membership in the appropriate union.
I was at Hudson Grille in Midtown Saturday night watching UFC. The Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman was in the house sitting a few tables from me. So it happens.

I'm extremely proud of our city for putting on a spectacular protest march last night calling for Trump to denounce the hateful rhetoric of his campaign and the people he inflamed to commit acts of hatred in his name. So many people showed up to share their love and let us know that we are not alone right now and we have a future of progress and tolerance ahead of us.
Throughout the entire march, no one acted out, there were no arrests or intimidators, and the APD did a fantastic job of letting us do our thing. They escorted us the entire way, were very considerate of our freedoms and kept us safe and sound. Atlanta showed that we can organize and be heard without resorting to rage, violence or anarchy.
The organizers of the march, Motley Rose are a small but passionate group of people who are driven to bring as many Atlanta area liberals together to preach love and acceptance and stand up for our rights. I recommend anyone who is interested in organizing and standing up to discriminatory legislation in GA and the country, to reach out and volunteer if possible or at least join us for the next event.
