- Columbus-based Synovus will net $75 million from their role in the Cabela’s-Bass Pro Shops merger. That’s a lot of fish.
- Georgia State and the neighborhood surrounding Turner Field agree on how to best move forward with GSU’s redevelopment plans.
- CSX has a new CEO, and he’s got big plans (and a need for speed). (H/T to Thomas Wheatley.)
- Smoke from the Okefenokee fire is blanketing south Georgia and Florida – and officials estimate that the fire could continue to burn for six months.

- Bon Appetit has your guide to the best gas station biscuits in Georgia.
- Here are 100 dishes to eat right now in metro Atlanta. (ITP and OTP.)
- Virginia Grohl and Marianne Stipe discuss how to raise a rock star.
- Since all y’all have finished S*Town, it’s time for Containers! That’s right, containers, the beating heart of global commerce. If you think controlling trade is as easy as slapping tariffs on Canadian wood (no, that’s not a Trudeau joke; you’re disgusting), or if you are, like, “Dude, what is with all the fuss about the Port of Savannah?” Well, friend, have I got the podcast for you!
- If you prefer to read your container shipping facts, I highly recommend this book.
- Solar is growing and is a major job generator. Jobs, I say!
- Who (or what) does this remind you of?
