News Adios, Alyssa
Posted by John F. Sugg on Fri, Jul 13, 2007 at 4:12 PM
Alyssa Abkowitz is off to Gotham City for postgraduate Lois Lane studies at Columbia University's acclaimed School of Journalism. Alyssa has been a pillar of Creative Loafing reporting for three years. Prior to that, she interned with us while attending Emory University.
Alyssa goes out on a roll -- her cover story this week, "The Student Trap," exposes what the promotional material doesn't tell you about American InterContinental University. Alyssa's reporting has focused on those issues that dramatically impact the lives of urban residents (our readers), from AIDS to the "Middle-Class Squeeze" to getting the first media hit on Atlanta's soaring foreclosure problem. And, she's been a bulldog at uncovering problems in the management of the Atlanta Police Department -- her reports on an overused disorderly conduct ordinance that pumped up statistics for the police brass but did little to fight crime resulted in City Council repealing the law.
Golly, darn, we're gonna miss you, Alyssa.

Hooray for Alyssa! She did a great job at Creative Loafing and now has the good sense to move to a wonderful city in a blue state where you can take public transportation and not be ruled by redneck peckerwood Republican-Baptists who don't have shit for sense!
