The TOUR Championship begins today at East Lake Golf Club with the top thirty players in the FedExCup standings competing through Sunday.

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 06:44:48 -0400

Grand Tasting Alpharetta is scheduled for today at The Hotel at Avalon, bringing a Taste of Atlanta event into the north Fulton dining district.

Holding the event at Avalon also places it within a mixed-use area where hotel guests, shoppers, diners and commuters already compete for parking and road space.

First Alert Storms Bring Downpour and Travel Risk to North Georgia

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 06:42:49 -0400

North Georgia is under a First Alert Weather Day as scattered storms bring the risk of heavy downpours, gusty winds and travel delays. The forecast calls for repeated rounds rather than steady rain everywhere, so conditions can change sharply from one part of metro Atlanta to another. A short storm can still create ponding on interstates, reduce visibility and overwhelm low drainage points during the morning or evening commute.

A Mableton resident has started a petition asking Georgia lawmakers to explore legislation that could dissolve the young city government. The petition does not dissolve Mableton by itself. It is an effort to create a legal path for a future decision, because cities operate under state charters and cannot simply be ended through an informal local vote.

Everton Blair Jr. Wins Special Runoff for Late Rep. David Scott’s Seat

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:42:26 -0400

Democrat Everton Blair Junior has won the special runoff to complete the late Congressman David Scott’s term, defeating Scott’s daughter Marcye. The result fills a vacancy that left parts of metro Atlanta and surrounding communities without their normal House representation. A special election covers the remainder of an existing term rather than a full new term, so Blair’s first period in office will be shorter than the standard two years. He will step into ongoing committee, constituent-service and legislative work immediately.

Georgia Medical Cannabis Study Links Use With Fewer Sick Days

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:41:43 -0400

A University of Georgia study found that people using medical cannabis reported taking fewer sick days, adding a new workplace measure to research that usually focuses on symptoms, pain and medication use. The finding describes an association, not proof that cannabis directly caused better attendance. People who qualify for medical cannabis can differ in health, occupation and access to care, all of which can influence how often they miss work.

Georgia Weighs Task Force to Oversee Flock License-Plate Readers

Georgia officials are considering a task force to oversee the expanding use of Flock license-plate reader cameras, a move that would put statewide attention on how law-enforcement agencies search and share vehicle-location data. The cameras photograph plates as vehicles pass and can alert police when a plate matches a stolen-car report or another investigative list. The same database can also reveal where a vehicle was seen over time, which is why privacy advocates want stronger limits.

A direct entrance can change how people reach the garden. BeltLine users arriving on foot or bicycle would gain another access point, while nearby neighborhoods could see more pedestrian traffic around the connection.

Georgia State Researchers Report New Schizophrenia Brain-Network Finding

Georgia State University researchers say they have identified a previously unknown feature of brain-network dynamics associated with schizophrenia, work that could give scientists another way to study how the disorder affects communication across the brain. Brain-network research looks beyond one isolated region. Researchers examine how groups of brain areas coordinate over time, because symptoms such as disorganized thinking, hallucinations and cognitive difficulty may involve disruptions across several connected systems.

A firefighter rappelled down the west face of Mount Yonah to rescue a stranded climber Tuesday, and the climber was brought out without injury. The operation required technical rope work rather than a routine trail rescue. Mount Yonah has steep exposed rock faces that attract climbers and hikers, but a person who becomes stuck off the established route can be difficult to reach from above or below. Rescuers must protect themselves from the same fall hazards facing the stranded person.

A metro Atlanta restaurant inspection report produced two very different results: an American Deli location received a failing score of 55, while a Marlow’s Tavern earned a perfect 100. The scores come from health inspections that examine food handling, sanitation and facility conditions. A low score does not automatically mean a restaurant closes permanently. Inspectors can require immediate corrections, schedule a follow-up visit or close a facility temporarily if they find an imminent health hazard.

DeKalb County investigators are working a shooting at a home on Hidden Creek Drive after officers were called around nine-forty-five Wednesday morning. Police confirmed that one person suffered serious injuries and the property was blocked with crime-scene tape. A residential shooting investigation begins with determining who was inside the house, whether the injured person lives there and whether a shooter left the scene. Those basic facts shape whether police treat the area as an active threat or a contained scene.

Atlanta Police Audit Flock Camera Access for Possible Misuse

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:18:20 -0400

Atlanta police are auditing employee access to the department’s Flock license-plate reader system to determine whether anyone used the database improperly. The review focuses on who searched plate records and whether those searches had a legitimate law-enforcement purpose. Flock cameras automatically capture license plates as vehicles pass fixed locations. Officers can then search the system for a plate connected to a stolen car, missing person or criminal investigation, creating a powerful tool for locating vehicles across a large city.

Midtown Restaurant Burglars Smash Door and Steal Alcohol

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:17:34 -0400

A Midtown Atlanta restaurant was burglarized early Wednesday after thieves smashed the front door and stole alcohol. The break-in happened while the business was closed, leaving the owners with both missing inventory and property damage before the normal workday began. Restaurant burglaries often create costs well beyond what is taken. A shattered entrance can force a business to delay opening, pay for emergency glass repair and clean up damage while also replacing inventory.

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:15:16 -0400

A Marietta man has won a four-point-three-million-dollar verdict in a legal-malpractice fight against Morgan and Morgan after accusing the law firm of settling his earlier case without permission. Robert Wyrosdick said the underlying lawsuit was resolved for forty-five thousand dollars even though he had not authorized that amount.

Georgia Lands $50 Million Battery Recycling Project

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:12:42 -0400

A battery recycling project backed by a fifty-million-dollar federal grant is headed to Georgia, adding another piece to the state’s fast-growing battery and electric-vehicle supply chain. Princeton NuEnergy plans to use the funding to recover valuable materials from battery scrap. The project is focused on recycling rather than mining or assembling finished vehicles. Recovering lithium, nickel and other materials from used batteries can reduce waste and create a domestic source of inputs that manufacturers would otherwise have to buy from overseas suppliers.

Extreme Heat Forces Metro Atlanta Schools to Change Operations

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 19:11:13 -0400

Extreme heat is disrupting school operations around metro Atlanta, with some districts changing activities and, in isolated cases, turning to virtual learning when cooling systems cannot keep buildings safe. The problems come as students are settling into the new academic year. School HVAC systems are under heavy strain during extended stretches of high temperatures. A single failed unit can affect classrooms, cafeterias or gyms, and older buildings may take longer to cool even after repairs are made.

Another round of Interstate 285 construction is set to affect west-side traffic this weekend. Work crews plan lane closures along roughly seven miles of the Perimeter between Collier Drive in Fulton County and Paces Ferry Road in Cobb County. The project is part of an ongoing road-rehabilitation effort rather than an emergency repair. That means the closure pattern is planned, but drivers can still expect major slowdowns when several lanes disappear on one of metro Atlanta’s busiest highways.

Atlanta Monday Morning Opens With Quieter Event Traffic

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 06:21:12 -0400

Monday morning avoids the biggest stadium crowds, giving commuters a relatively normal start before the event schedule becomes much heavier beginning Tuesday. Atlanta's interstate network carries local commuters, airport traffic and long-distance traffic on the same corridors. The Downtown Connector combines I-75 and I-85 through the center city, while I-20 and I-285 redistribute traffic around the metro. When one of those routes is impaired, parallel streets and nearby ramps usually absorb the overflow.

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 06:18:45 -0400

The weather pattern opens the week with a relative break in humidity, but forecasters expect moisture to return later. Late August remains full summer in north Georgia. Afternoon highs can stay in the 90s even when humidity briefly eases, and the return of Gulf moisture can quickly bring scattered thunderstorms back into the forecast.

The local food scene is competitive, so the useful detail is what makes the event, restaurant or trend distinct rather than simply another place to eat. Atlanta supports major events in several separate districts rather than one downtown core. Stadium concerts use downtown, Braves games pull crowds toward Cobb County, and amphitheater shows shift traffic to the northern suburbs. MARTA, parking decks and rideshare zones therefore see different pressure depending.

A Cherokee County deputy was arrested after investigators said a license-plate reader system was used for personal reasons over more than two years.

Canton police arrested the mother of a 2-year-old child who died at a Cartersville Street home, expanding a case that has drawn major attention in Cherokee County. Atlanta's denser neighborhoods combine apartments, businesses, parking decks and heavy pedestrian traffic, giving investigators many potential witnesses and video sources.

A shooting at an Atlanta adult store left a 23-year-old man wounded, and police say the suspect faces an aggravated-assault charge. A security guard also fired during the confrontation. Metro Atlanta continues to add population and investment, and developers increasingly favor mixed-use projects that combine housing, restaurants, offices and entertainment. That pattern is visible from the BeltLine to Alpharetta and Sandy Springs, where older retail sites are being reconsidered for denser uses.

I-75 Hit-and-Run Death Keeps South Atlanta Search Active

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:56:50 -0400

Police say a woman was killed after getting out of a disabled vehicle on northbound I-75 near Cleveland Avenue and being struck by another driver who left the scene. Investigators are still working to identify that driver. Atlanta's interstate network carries local commuters, airport traffic and long-distance traffic on the same corridors. The Downtown Connector combines I-75 and I-85 through the center city, while I-20 and I-285 redistribute traffic around the metro. When one of those routes is impaired, parallel streets and nearby ramps usually absorb the overflow.
