Inside CL Most popular damn posts o' the week
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 1:25 PM
While the rest of Atlanta watches the United States compete against Mexico in soccer, attends super-secret parties, or sings karaoke on Buford Highway, we'll be guarding the public trust and fighting for truth, as journalists are required by law to do. While we finish shining our armor, please take a moment to revisit the week's most popular posts on Fresh Loaf, which never paid attention during corporate's mandatory meetings about pensions, anyway.
1. Councilman Kwanza Hall returns from several weeks in the Middle East and immediately introduces legislation calling for fewer restrictions on food trucks and 4 a.m. bar hours. Happy to be home, we suppose?
2. Booting is the most noble business in Atlanta. Discuss.
3. Yes, MARTA said it was hiking fares by 50 cents in October, bringing the cost of a one-way ticket to $2.50. Yes, it's getting pricey. But no, you shouldn't find crafty ways to evade its fare gates.
4. A state senator calls black casino customers "aborigines." While wearing a wire. No, this didn't happen in Georgia, for once.
5. Delta, which decided to upgrade Gov. Nathan Deal after he signed legislation exempting the airline from paying fuel tax, is apparently trying a bold new marketing strategy.
