Shenanigans Pecanne Log's 'The Making of Modern Atlanta' recaps are required post-turkey reading
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 3:11 PM
Hosted by Tim Crimmins of Georgia State University and Dana White of Emory University — affectionately known as "The History Twins" — and produced by Chris Moser, the episodes explore metro Atlanta's transportation, politics, boosterism, and other issues that have transformed the region since the 1940s. And they make them interesting!
Unlike other recaps, we, the readers, most likely have no clue what the hell's happening during these recaps, probably because none of us has ever seen TMOMA. No worries! The mysterious Pecanne Log includes delightfully awkward screencaps and commentary. (And really, isn't the fact that the series is hosted by "The History Twins" enough to convince you to check it out?)
Pecanne Log posted her recap of episode six this morning. It — and every single other post — are worth reading. You can view 'em all here. (Scroll down to the bottom for the first episode, "The Buck Stops Here.")

Very interesting. I'd like to see TMOMA myself.
I'm not sure if I should be encouraged that there were actually people insightful enough to predict the self-inflicted problems we grapple with in Metro Atlanta, or despondent that their concerns were (are) repeatedly ignored.
