Out with the old Breeze cards, in with the new (and tap to pay, wherever new equipment has been installed - still a work in progress). Here’s a breakdown of the Better Breeze changes that start TODAY: www.ajc.com/news/2026/03... (🎁 link)

NOT A JOKE: marta board member Devon Hudson, a real estate construction and management firm principal representing DeKalb County, asked this morning in a meeting whether the World Cup would be a "Super Bowl"-sized event or like "a big concert".
In fact, around 300,000-800,000 fans are expected:
Life After Cars LIVE is THIS FRIDAY! As we gather at the historic Plaza Theatre, we’re making it easy to get there without a car, because… that’s kind of the point. 😉
📍 March 13th at 8:00PM | Tickets: givebutter.com/lifeaftercars. 🎟️
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. 🙌

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.
Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...
WAIT HOLD UP ALYSA LIU WAS ONE OF THE IN-TRAIN ANNOUNCERS FOR THE MUNI METRO L TARAVAL RELAUNCH WTFFFF
Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!
Drivers on some roads in Decatur will notice lower speed limits. The speeds were reduced on College Avenue, Scott Boulevard, South Candler Street, Clairemont Avenue and Commerce Drive.
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...
Even the ICE release (which blames Dems🤔) says his only crime was being undocumented: www.ice.gov/news/release...
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.
IF ONLY ATLANTA HAD THE MONEY TO BUILD A SIMILAR PROJECT WITH TRAMS ON GRASS, SEPARATED FROM CARS 👀
ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.
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.

"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. 😅
Atlanta’s overall population is about 46% Black, but its homeless population was about 80% Black last year.
Metro Atlanta’s homeless population has been on the rise for the past three years.

oh
I hope Sara Gregory will still be on staff :(
The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!
I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti
Atlanta, your voice matters. Join the Restoration Memorial and Preserve Master Plan meeting to share ideas for the former Atlanta Prison Farm site and help shape its future as a public memorial and green space.

Colorful sunset over Downtown Atlanta, as seen tonight from the window of an in-motion MARTA bus.
a valley of kudzu between Woodbine Ave and Vaughn St, covered in ice. Sugar Creek runs through the middle.
another angle of the icy kudzu, all brown and gray and wintry. in the middle distance, Ruby Meadows stands out with its pops of bright color.
looking east where trees and Sugar Creek dominate the scene.
good morning from the Edgewood Kudzu Valley
