Teenagers hanging out at Six Flags Over Georgia will need adult supervision in the evenings, according to new rules the amusement park has put into place.
Six Flags Over Georgia just announced that beginning Friday, those ages 15 and younger will need a chaperone after 4 p.m. inside the park.
What Is Six Flags’ Youth Chaperone Policy?
Guests aged 15 years or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old to enter or remain in the park after 4 p.m. daily. The park reserves the right to enforce this requirement earlier if necessary.
The chaperone must possess a valid photo ID and can oversee a maximum of 10 guests per day.
Six Flags did not specify the reason for the policy change at this time, but emphasized their commitment to maintaining the park as a place where families and friends can enjoy fun and immersive experiences together.
Earlier this year, the park’s opening day was marred by multiple altercations, culminating in a teenager being shot outside the park by a responding police officer.

Hours after the presidential debate in Atlanta, President Joe Biden stepped inside a local Waffle House and met with patrons and employees.
The date was June 27, 2024. Biden had just went toe-to-toe against presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and, looking back, Atlanta was the place where Biden’s campaign showed the beginning of the end — but it wasn’t the food!
As he entered the Waffle House, Biden was captured on camera dapping up a fellow diner and greeting onlookers as Secret Service agents secured the perimeter. Can you imagine if you were working at Waffle House and this happened?
When he visits Atlanta, Biden has made it a habit to stop at a local eatery. He once dined at Busy Bee, the popular soul food restaurant near the AU Center on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
If you were a president, would would you order to eat at Waffle House? Would you go for the All Star? Would you opt for Steak and Eggs? Of course, your hashbrowns would have to be covered, smothered and perhaps chunked. There are many things people don’t know about Waffle House.
And while we’re at it, do you know about Waffle House’s secret plate code?
For example, a jelly packet placed at the bottom center indicates two scrambled eggs. To signify a light, runny scramble, an upside-down mayo packet is placed above the jelly. For well-done scrambled eggs, the mayo packet is placed right-side-up. For a standard fried egg, the level of doneness is indicated from left to right across the plate.
Let us know your favorite meal at Waffle House.

There are some other breakfast spots Biden could have hit up if he wanted the lowdown. Check out the best breakfast restaurants in Atlanta.

President Biden shocked the world on Sunday when he announced that he won’t seek re-election in the 2024 presidential campaign.
The news is without precedent but not entirely surprising, given how bad Biden did a few weeks ago in the debate against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
The debate, held in Atlanta and hosted by CNN, exposed the President, 81, as someone who couldn’t remember basic facts and names. The gaffes not only were seized on by Trump, but the political stage at large. What happened in Atlanta became fodder for the world.
“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote in a letter posted on social media site X. “I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”
I’m Atlanta, reaction to Biden’s exit was swift:
Atlanta Mayor Andre DIckens said Biden “an extraordinary American who has dedicated his entire life to working people.”
“His incredible record on jobs, the economy, climate, reproductive rights, and his leadership on the world stage make him one of the most consequential leaders in history,” Dickens said in a statement. “Atlanta is stronger because of his leadership. Our nation is better off because of his service and I’m proud to call him friend, leader, and most of all, President.”
Former Mayor and current Biden Administration aide Keisha Lance Bottoms said “my heart is filled with a profound sense of sadness and admiration for the man who ahs served our nation with unwavering dedication and grace.”
Bill Simmons, a lifelong Democrat and Atlanta resident, said he was stunned when he saw the news about Biden.
”Shocked isn’t the word,” Simmons, a Morehouse College Alumni, said over the phone. “We’re a few months from the election. To say that this will throw the Democratic Party in disarray is an understatement.”
On the other hand, some feel that a younger candidate — like Vice President Kamala Harris —will help energize the base.
”This is actually exciting,” said Kelli Freeman, an occupational therapist from Woodstock, Georgia. “The first black woman president? Are you kidding me?”
In his announcement, Biden said endorsed Harris for president.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President,” Biden posted. “And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.”
Harris thanked Biden for his support and said she will continue to ready herself for the race.
“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” she said.
Biden visited Atlanta frequently during his term as president as well as vice president to Barack Obama, who weighed in on the race as well post-Biden.
”We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said in a statement. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond.”
Harris is no stranger to Atlanta, having visited the city twice in the past month for different initiatives such as economic empowerment and anti-gun violence.
For his part, Biden made himself at home in Georgia’s largest city as well, eating at soul food place Busy Bee near the AU Center well as Waffle House right after the debate that sealed his presidential fate.

Nuisance calls can work on your nerves. These telemarketers and scammers never rest. The good news is that it’s fairly simple to find out information on who’s calling you.
All you need to do is a reverse phone lookup. Atlanta is one of the top cities for spam, according to Hiya. So, finding out who’s calling you is a priority.
Are There Any Legit Reverse Phone Lookup Sites?
In this article, I’ll show you what I use to do a reverse phone lookup to see who’s calling me. There are several sites that can give you some of the information you need.
When you typically go to a reverse phone lookup website, there’s a portal where you enter information on a person. Then it will take you to a page that shows you grayed out information.
To show you the full results, usually there’s a fee attached. But I’m going to show you some free websites to choose from.
What Is A Reverse Phone Lookup?
A reverse phone lookup is an electronic database that allows users to find out personal information on a caller based on their phone number.
The reason the “reverse” is included in a “reverse phone lookup” is because typically you search for a person’s phone number based on already having their name. But the process is reversed in a reverse phone lookup.
How Phone Lookups Began
In the beginning, the “Yellow Pages” were the defacto way people found phone numbers for companies and individuals.
Soon operators went out of style and the phone companies introduced call waiting, voicemail and caller ID, which was the first electronic phone lookup.
Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies and some government agencies were using reverse phone lookups in print for decades before they became available to the public.
With the tremendous adoption of the internet, sites began to pop up that promised reverse phone lookup for a fee.
But there are also some free reverse phone lookup databases.
What Is The Most Accurate Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Site?
When it comes to free options, TruePeopleSearch.com is the one that will give you a phone number without cost. Many other sites will charge you a small fee.
When you go to the site, you’ll see three tabs in the middle of the page: Name, Reverse Phone and Reverse Address. Tap on the middle one: Reverse phone (see screenshot below).
What Is The Best Reverse Phone Lookup Site?
When I get an unfamiliar phone number, I never answer it. I wait until the call is over to find out who has called me. Here are the best websites I’ve used.
Final Thoughts
If you go to many of the sites listed above, they will show all the recent cell phone lookups so you can see which numbers.
Are you paying too much for your cell phone bill? Here’s how to lower it right now.

We’re getting a little closer to the grand rebrand happening in downtown Atlanta. CNN Center, long the home of the world’s first 24-hour news network, is transitioning after Warner Bros Discovery made the decision to consolidate their offices on 10th Street.
CP Group, a commercial real estate management firm, has announced the repositioning of the iconic 1.2 million-square-foot CNN Center, now open for office and retail leasing under its new name, “The Center.” This mixed-use development aims to become a premier destination for retail, dining, content creation, and entertainment within downtown Atlanta’s entertainment district.
The Center Coming to Downtown Atlanta
The CNN Center complex, consisting of five buildings, includes the world headquarters of CNN, a 1,067-room Omni Hotel, and a popular atrium food court visited by local businesspeople, tourists, and attendees from nearby sports arenas and conference centers. It is strategically located in Atlanta’s central business district, near landmarks such as State Farm Arena, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia World Congress Center, and the World of Coca-Cola.
“CP Group’s rebranding of the former CNN Center into The Center seeks to create a cohesive destination for commerce, culture, and community, while respecting the building’s historic significance in media, sports, and entertainment,” stated Chris Eachus, Partner at CP Group. “Our vision includes curating an exceptional mix of dynamic tenants, dining and retail experiences, entertainment options, and upscale lifestyle amenities, designed to draw the community into the heart of the city.”
The evolution of The Center will focus on revitalizing the ground floor to attract retailers and innovative tenants interested in a historic and accessible site in a vibrant downtown area. This marks the first opportunity in 40 years for office users to lease space in this renowned property since CNN’s long-term occupancy.
Retail leasing will be managed by Coleman Weatherholtz of Healey Weatherholtz Properties, while Jeff Keppen and Nicole Goldsmith of CBRE are the exclusive office leasing agents for The Center. “CNN Center is internationally recognized, and we are in discussions with several new-to-market retail concepts to join the transformation of this legendary building,” added Weatherholtz.
Final Word
Just feet away from The Center will be Centennial Yards, an ambitious mixed development that takes adventage of the corridor below Centennial Olympic Boulevard with access around Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry is back with another movie from his four-film partnership with Amazon. Divorce in the Black is his second Amazon film.
After Divorce In The Black and Black, White & Blue, Perry is set to deliver two more projects for Amazon.
The film began streaming on July 11, 2024.
How To Watch Divorce in the Black
You can watch Divorce in the Black via Amazon Prime. You can stream it on your TV or any handheld device with Prime on it.
What Is the Plot of Divorce in the Black?
The movie, which Perry casted in Atlanta, treads into some familiar waters, even for a Perry joint. Ava’s husband, Dallas, leaves her heartbroken as he deserts their marriage. Dallas’ malicious actions unravel as Ava gets a chance to find true love with her destined soulmate.
Perry has produced three movies for Amazon under his four-picture deal with Amazon MGM Studios. These films include:
- “Black, White & Blue” – A drama centered on Fela Blackburn seeking justice for her husband killed by a police officer.
- “Divorce in the Black” – A drama about a banking professional dealing with the fallout of her husband’s betrayal.
- “Joy Ridge” – A drama set in Colorado about a woman’s journey to redefine her life during a holiday trip
What Are People Saying About Divorce in the Black?
A lot people are enjoying the film, like myself, but some are panning it.
Here’s an example of one review of the film:
“If you’re expecting a typical Tyler Perry film with a strong church feel, you’re in for consistency. 🙏🏽 Talk about staying true to form. Initially, I was hopeful that this movie would be different. I looked forward to it for a long time. However, it turned out to be another exaggerated drama with an overly controlled narrative.
The opening scene was an audacious display of Perry leaning into his church-y base at its most scandalous. We won’t spoil it for you, but here’s a key scene that had us scratching our heads — and eating some popcorn.
Final Cut
Because of the steady flow of movie and TV productions, Atlanta has been called the Hollywood of the South and it’s not just a label..
