Let’s face it, you are in college so you probably don’t have a ton of extra cash to spend so here are some fun things on the cheap:

1. Don’t be tempted to go home over Labor Day weekend, Atlanta has a lot going on that weekend that you won’t want to miss. A. Dragon Con Parade – Free (walk) B. Decatur Book Festival (take Marta). C. College Football Kickoff at Mercedes Benz – If you can’t afford tickets you can still head down town for fun tailgating action and activities near the stadium. D. Black Gay Pride – Free (walk or Marta) E. Taste of Soul Atlanta near MB Stadium – Festival is free but the main stage concerts will set you back $35 per day (Marta or Walk)… plus a ton of other stuff.

2. I’m sure everyone has already told you about the Beltline… but… The Beltline. Explore the whole trail, East Side all the way south and over to the West Side. From Ansley Park to Washington Park. (not all sections are paved but they are all walkable or bikeable with the right bike. Great restaurants, bars, brewery’s, art, and shopping along the trail.

3. Atlanta has a decent Museum scene believe it or not. The High Museum, Museum of Design Atlanta, Atlanta History Center, MLK Center, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and Fernbank just to name a few – Cost Varies

4.Get out of town and hike: Sweetwater Creek, Stone Mountain, Dolls Head Trail, Panola Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain, Cascade Springs Nature Preserve, and Lullwater Preserve to name a few – Free

5. Visit all the parks! – Piedmont, Candler, Freedom, Grant are some of my favorites.

6. Brewery’s Brewery’s and more Brewer’s – There are plenty of breweries and brewpubs to visit. My favorites include The Lee + White development in West End featuring Monday Night, WildHeaven, ASW, Hop City, Best End Brewing and who knows maybe even more that I’m not aware of. Three Taverns in Decatur, Orpheus, and since it’s atlanta I guess it’s still cool to go to Sweet Water

7. Cheap Eats: Taqueria Del Sol (best tacos in the land all around $3), Woody’s Cheesesteaks, Nick’s Greek Food To Go, and of course The Varsity.

8. Night Life – Don’t miss Edgewood Ave. nightlife such as JoyStick, Church Bar, Noni’s plus plenty more that I’m no longer hip enough to visit. I never recommend Buckhead but if you have to be there then don’t be afraid to head over to Johnnys Hideaway it’s a classic for young and old. Rooftop at Clermont Hotel and the basement Clermont Lounge are a must. Apparently there is a cool Karaoke Place in Grant Park near Octane but I’m too old to know about it.

9. Neighborhoods not to miss: Little Five Points, Decatur, Candler Park, Inman Park, Grant Park, East Atlanta Village… There are a ton more just get out and explore. Don’t be afraid of the west side of town either. If you only stay on the East Side or North then you are missing out.

10. Favorite Music Venues: The Variety Playhouse, The Masquerade, The Earl, Eddies Attic.

Ok I’ve wasted too much of my precious time giving you youngsters advice on things to do in Atlanta… Seriously just explore, keep an open mind… and stay off those damn scooters when its dark outside, seriously people are dying. (Mic Drop)

Don’t ride e-scooters at night

Perhaps a respectful e-mail to the editor or author would be a better venue for voicing your concerns about "editorial slant"?
I guess I’m just old-fashioned, I just think it’s classless to criticize those less fortunate than you (that you don’t actually know, btw) in a public forum. But that’s just me.

Is there any comparing these large numbers to what the numbers were in, say, 2006 (a period of similar employment rates, etc.)? I just find large numbers with no context kind of distasteful. Any idea what VMT was like then?

Even though I own a car and live in S.F., I feel like TNC’s are filling a long-empty gap in the ability to move around a metro area. There should be some value for quality of life improvements, you know?Also, any data on things we’d reasonably expect TNC adoption to improve, like drunk driving rates, availability of parking, lower cost of living (due to not having to buy a car).

Are you new in town?
Since when has FLW’s Morris gift shop been "underrated?" What about the 3 subtle Neutra buildings, the Coxheads, Maybecks, and Howards?
Half if this list is composed of already well-recognized structures, and at least 30% are dogs that shouldn’t be there.
I will extend kudos for catching the dentist office on Mission and 100 California, but no research on their architects?

The condo/mixed-use project proposed for 264 Ponce (across from Krispy Kreme) gained the support of the Land Use Committee on Tuesday. The next step is the NPU-E meeting on September 2nd.

Fixed route public transit is effectively dead. No one wants to spend hours transferring around to go 20 miles.

Not a fan of scooters or e-bikes because the riders violate road rules, but many ppl prefer them over public transit even though it cost more and has no AC. It’s all about convenience and getting from point A to B direct.

We should focus on our roads and prepare for autonomous electric vehicles bringing down the cost of rides. Autonomous vehicles will be here probably before this BRT project completes.

Well, it’s certainly possible, but the San Bernardino part gives me pause. Here’s another doc I found — Nathan Pallow’s war registration card from 1917, which has his address as 823 E. 28th Street, Los Angeles.

14th Street is the only crosstown street in Manhattan THAT ALREADY HAS A SUBWAY running along it.

Friend, the 7, E, Shuttle and NQRW all provide crosstown service. That said, yes, the L is the only existing true crosstown route south of midtown.

You are probably right in saying this is a bit of a gimmick to mask much bigger problems in a deteriorating system, but a worthy gimmick IMO. I applaud that the city is trying something creative with the streets instead of the usual clown show of piecemeal, haphazard surface-level tweaks. And 14th is probably the safest place to do it. It’s not in the CBD and no tunnels/bridges are connected to it. And I agree that the facts about average speeds on 14th st seem very murky and are probably misleading. For those reasons, the results will be of limited value and hence I agree it’s a bit of a gimmick, but still a worthy experiment.

L train commuters from Brooklyn will probably benefit the least, though, since this program doesn’t solve the problem of getting to 3rd avenue in the first place. So it’s a bit of hocus-pocus to say this is meant to help ease the burdens of the L train work.
