Georgia film industry still active. For those of us following the restoration of the Little House in Louisville (a.k.a Louise), this is heartbreaking news. There will be a run on popcorn next Tuesday. Logic?  That was thrown out the window a while back.  Opening Day(ish) is finally here.   As baseball timidly dips its toe

Happy Thursday! Today is the 116th anniversary of the invention of the ice cream cone which was delivered to us by Charles E. Menches during the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. Peaches Kemp and Bottoms talking settlement. Warren asks CDC to mandate masks, citing Georgia’s local ban. This Georgia city beat back COVID-19. Georgia

Good morning! It’s going to be another hot one today, but it is July in Georgia, after all, so we should expect no less. However, there’s no chance for rain in my corner of the state, so what better day to spend some time in a shady spot (aside from midday!) and hang out outside

Good morning! Everything will be okay. A national perspective on Governor Kemp’s head-knocking with Mayor Bottoms, in which he wields a lawsuit, rather than a chainsaw. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo met with Mayor Van Johnson yesterday in Savannah. GHSA officially delayed the start of Georgia’s high school football season, in part because of a

Congratulations to Senator Nikema Williams for winning what is likely the smallest vote in Georgia’s history to send someone to congress. The Democratic Party of Georgia’s 44-member executive committee selected her as the replacement for the late John Lewis. Williams earned 37 votes. She will have to face a Republican, Angela Staton-King, but I don’t

I can’t add to the well-deserved paeans to Congressman Lewis but I can share a few memories that hopefully highlight him as a person. Even with the most charitable interpretation I can’t say that I was close to, or truly knew him. I did have several close experiences with Congressman Lewis over a 12-year period.

The Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG) received 131 applicants for people seeking to be the Democratic nominee in GA-5 after the passing of Rep. John Lewis. Rahul Bali has announced via twitter that the list has been narrowed down to five: State Representative Park CannonAtlanta City Councilman Andre DickensRobert FranklinState Senator and DPG Chair Nikema

It’s Monday. It’s almost the end of July. There are families trying to figure out what “end of summer break” means and what “starting school” looks like. There are candidates preparing for run-offs with little to no actual face time with voters. Some people are headed back to “traditional” work settings and some are settling

As ghoulish as it may seem for Democrats to be jockeying to replace the late Rep. John Lewis in the House of Representatives, so soon after his passing, Georgia election law doesn’t give them much of a choice. The OCGA 21-2-134(b)(1)(B) says they have to replace Lewis’ name on the ballot by 4:00 PM “the next
