Lime scooters are going to disappear from Atlanta streets and curbsides as the company has made the decision to cease operations in the city.
“As part of our path to profitability, Lime has made the difficult decision to exit Atlanta and focus our resources on markets that allow us to meet our ambitious goals for 2020,” a company spokesman said in a statement Thursday.
Lime Scooters Leave Atlanta
The move comes months after Atlanta imposed controversial restrictions on scooters, including a night curfew. The city had also began impounding scooters and charging the companies a fee to retrieve them.
In the end, the less-than-ideal environment was too much for Lime.
“We appreciate the partnership we’ve enjoyed with Atlanta and remain hopeful we can reintroduce Lime back into the community when the time is right,” the spokesman was quoted as saying.
Lime Is Leaving These 12 Markets
Atlanta’s not the only city that will be Lime-less. Eleven other markets are losing the scooters. They are:
- Phoenix
- San Diego
- San Antonio
- Linz, Austria
- Bogotá, Buenos Aires,
- Montevideo, Lima,
- Puerto Vallarta, Rio de Janeiro
- and São Paulo in Latin America
The loss of Lime leaves Bird as the most popular scooter option in the city. But it also strands scores of gig workers who had earned extra money by charging Lime scooters.

The use of electric vehicles is rising on metro Atlanta streets, roads and freeways. That means people are in need of electric vehicle charging stations in Atlanta.
Electric chargers are a high priority. If you’re looking to charge, you may be wondering where are they in Atlanta? We’ll show you some of the best electric chargers in Atlanta along the Peachtree Road corridor.
Midtown Map: Electric Vehicle Chargers In Atlanta
The increase of EVs may mean that more people are taking advantage of rebates to buy them. Another reason may be that more people are becoming environmentally conscious.
Whatever the case, here are some EV charging stations along the Peachtree Street corridor in and outside downtown Atlanta and into Midtown.
EV Charging Stations In Atlanta Map
If you’re thinking about buying an electric car, you’ll need to know where these charging stations are. You’ll need to look at maps to find out where the EV charging stations are located around town.
Places that typically have charging stations are:
- Shopping malls
- Electric companies
- Colleges and universities
To get a more accurate gauge of where the charging stations are near you, you can go to these resources with EV charger locator tools:
- ChargePoint Map
- Plugshare Map
- U.S. Department of Energy map
Electrical vehicles are clearly becoming a priority by auto manufacturers. Ford, GM and a handful of luxury automakers are focusing on making cars that are sustainable and reduce carbon footprints.
The reason why EV charging stations are increasing is because so many people are moving into the city.

Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry is no stranger to having his name in lights. The actor-writer-producer and filmmaker has been making successful movies for most of the century, but his work habits are what separates him.
Perry recently shared a glimpse of his prolific productivity on social media. In a video he uploaded to his accounts, he shows TV show scripts for some of his current productions he’s filming.
What’s Tyler Perry Filming? All Of These Scripts
The camera pans to show “The Haves & Have Nots,” “The Oval,” and other series that he has on TV or streaming services.
“I don’t know if you know this but most shows on television have a writer’s room … I have no writer’s room, nobody writes any of my work. I write it all.”
Perry says “Why am I telling you this? I wrote all of these scripts by myself in 2019. What’s my point? WORK ETHIC!”

Atlanta real estate is experiencing some of the highest price hikes it has ever seen, especially on the south side. Now a new report says the city will have one of the hottest housing markets of 2020.
Normally, real estate experts drool over West Coast housing markets, like those in California and even Arizona and Nevada, but this year will shape up to be different.
Atlanta Among Hottest Real Estate Markets For 2020
According to a Zillow panel of experts, cities like Austin and Atlanta’s housing market is most expected to outperform the national average.
Home values are expected to grow by 2.8% in 2020, according to more than 100 economists and real estate experts surveyed by Pulsenomics and Zillow panelists.
The panel assigned scores to cities to show where the growth would likely occur. Here is a sample of results.
-
- Austin: 76
- Charlotte: 59
- Atlanta: 51
- Nashville: 49
Unlike the other 24 markets that were analyzed, Charlotte was the only one that no panelist said it would underperform this year.
“Having subjected buyers to a crucible of fierce competition for multiple years, many West Coast markets hit an affordability ceiling that set off declining home values in the most expensive of these,” said Skylar Olsen, Zillow’s director of economic research.
“Indeed, this price correction— a clap back from having appreciated with too much exuberance in the recent past — pushes many previously hot markets to the bottom of our experts’ list. At the top of the list are metros still providing relative affordability and thriving, amenity-rich communities that appeal to younger adults willing to make a move. These features, plus the ability to grow and add housing in the future, are attractive propositions for employers and employees alike.”
Here Are The Hottest Real Estate Markets For 2020
Many panelists expect home values in San Jose and San Francisco to continue falling in 2020, and some expect more markets in California to join them. Sixteen panelists out of the 42 that selected at least one metro said home values will fall in Los Angeles, and twelve said the same about San Diego and Riverside.

How is The Real Estate Market In Atlanta, Georgia?
The real estate market in Georgia’s largest city is driven largely by a population and economy boom that shows no signs of ending.
Coming out of the Great Recession, Atlanta was a buyer’s market up until around 2015. That’s when it began to show all the signs of a strong seller’s market, meaning that homeowners could would be able to enjoy pricing leverage compared to the inventory.
In 2020, Atlanta is not quite a seller’s market, but is in between buying and selling, which makes for a full-on healthy real estate landscape. Can you still find real estate deals? Yes, but they are becoming less plentiful.
Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.

As a consumer, your credit score should be very important to you. Not only does it determine your purchasing power, but it also holds sway over many other areas of your life — but what if your credit score is wrong?
Perhaps you’ve heard the adage, “No one’s perfect.” Well, that also applies to the many models that determine your credit score.
How To Dispute Your Credit Report
In fact, one of the top complaints sent to the three major credit-reporting agencies is that there were errors on peoples’ credit report, according to a report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
What To Do If You Find Errors On Your Credit Report
It’s no wonder people are complaining: Credit scores affect everything from your insurance policies to whether you can rent an apartment.
If you find an error on your credit report, you need to dispute it with the credit bureau and the business that reported the information.
You’ll have to reach out to the business directly. Here’s how to contact each major credit bureau:
How To File A Dispute With Equifax, Experian and TransUnion
- Equifax: Fill out: Equifax dispute form or call 1- 866-349-5191
- Experian Fill out: Experian dispute form; Experian does not accept disputes via phone
- TransUnion: Fill out: TransUnion dispute form or call 1-800-916-8800
The credit bureaus also let you submit supporting documents online as well. If submitting by phone, the representative will tell you what they need and how to get it to them.
Remember: Keep your original documents. Only submit copies to the credit bureaus.
After you’ve submitted your dispute, the credit agency will notify you in writing. If changes are made to your credit report, you will receive a free one in the mail, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
What If Your Dispute Is Not Resolved To Your Satisfaction?
In many cases, disputes may not be able to get handled the way you want them. Here are some options that consumers have:
- File a complaint online with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You can call them at 855-411-2372.
- To elevate the situation, contact your state Attorney General.
Finally, if a particular company or business has made crucial mistakes resulting in damage to your credit, you may want to stay away from them.
Sites like the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Reports and even Yelp may help you gauge a company’s reputation.
