Henry “Hank” Aaron was a tender soul away from the baseball diamond. But on the field, he was an tenacious lion that put fright in other MLB pitchers.
Aaron passed away on January 22, 2021 in Atlanta. He was 86. While Aaron’s legacy is secure, we are left with his indelible record in Major League Baseball as well as many words of wisdom he shared along the way.
5 Inspiring Quotes From Hank Aaron
Let’s take a look at some of the wise words Aaron left with us as a testament to a life well lived and graciously played.
While we remember these endearing words, let’s also recall the principles that Aaron lived by, including honor, respect and integrity.
1. Live Up To Your Friends’ Expectations
Aaron once replied to a letter from a fan way back from his Milwaukee Braves days. Author Sandy Tolan relates:
“It is very heart warming to know that you are in my corner. I will always be grateful for the interest you have shown in me. As the so called count down’ begins, please be assured I will try to live up to the expectations of my friends.”
2. Has Major League Baseball Been Fair?
Here’s Aaron in a heated conversation with Monte Irvin about whether MLB has been fair to African-American players.
“I don’t care if anybody believes me or not, as long as a breath is in my body, someone has to show me they’re going after a Black manager, they can have Black people working in the front office, they can have a Black trainer, I’ll say then that baseball has been fair to Blacks.”
3. Growing Up With The KKK
“I remember many times as a little boy growing up that the Ku Klux Klan would come marching down the street, for no reason at all,” Aaron said in a 2010 MLB Network interview. “My mother would tell me, ‘Son, go hide under the bed.’
4. The Importance Of Patience In Your Pursuits
While Aaron was pursuing the homerun record, he shared with the Greensboro News & Record some choice thoughts on coaching legend Dean Smith.
When I was going after the record, the questions were always coming at me. ‘When are you going to break it?’ ‘Are you going to break it next week?’ ‘Will you break it tonight?’
“How would I know? You just have to try to be patient. I kept answering that I didn’t know, if not tonight, then tomorrow night, or next week, or next season.
5. On American Racism
Aaron was a beloved figure for most of America, but the constant racist threats, especially as he narrowed Babe Ruth’s homerun lead in the 1970s, left a bitter taste in his mouth. Here’s what he said about that, according to ESPN.
“If I was white, all America would be proud of me,” Aaron said almost a year before he passed Ruth. “But I am Black.”
The city of Atlanta as well as the state continue to express condolences for the loss of “Hammerin’ Hank.”
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a written statement. “This is a considerable loss for the entire city of Atlanta. While the world knew him as ‘Hammering Hank Aaron’ because of his incredible, record-setting baseball career, he was a cornerstone of our village, graciously and freely joining Mrs. Aaron in giving their presence and resources toward making our city a better place. As an adopted son of Atlanta, Mr. Aaron was part of the fabric that helped place Atlanta on the world stage. Our gratitude, thoughts and prayers are with the Aaron family.”

The historic Atlanta Constitution building in downtown Atlanta is being redeveloped into Folio House, bringing nearly 200 affordable housing units and vibrant commercial space to the area, according to city officials.
What Is Folio House?
The project, led by Gorman & Company, includes converting the upper floors into approximately 200 affordable housing units, with the first phase offering 50 units for individuals earning 30-80% of the area median income.
The ground floor will feature restored commercial space, and an adjacent area called “The Pitch” will host cultural and World Cup-related events.
This project aligns with Mayor Andre Dickens’ goal of creating 20,000 affordable housing units by 2030 and aims to revitalize South Downtown by offering residences and spaces for local businesses.
143 Alabama Street To Become the Site of Folio House
Dickens and other Atlanta officials attended a ground-breaking ceremony last week to mark the start of construction.
The building at 143 Alabama Street SW in downtown Atlanta, known historically as the Atlanta Constitution Building and later the Georgia Power Atlanta Division Building, has a rich history tied to the city’s development, media, and infrastructure.
In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the history of 143 Alabama Street and it’s future in downtown Atlanta.
Early History and Construction
Situated at the northwest corner of Alabama and Forsyth Streets, the building lies in the “Heart of Atlanta,” near the “Zero Mile Post,” which marked the southeastern terminus of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and Atlanta’s earliest settlement in the 1830s and 1840s.
This area, straddling the railroad gulch (“The Gulch” now named Centennial Yards), was central to the city’s growth as a transportation and commercial hub.
Original Building
An earlier Atlanta Constitution Building, designed by Adolph Wittman, stood at the opposite corner of this intersection from 1895, reflecting the newspaper’s early presence in the area.
Construction (1947)
The current five-story building at 143 Alabama Street SW was constructed in 1947, designed by the Atlanta-based firm Robert & Company at a cost of $3 million.
It exemplifies the Art Moderne architectural style, a rare example in Atlanta, with features like Flemish bond brick, marble, and limestone exterior, a flat terraced roof, rounded corners, and horizontal window bands emphasizing a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Atlanta Constitution (1947–1953)
The building served as the headquarters for the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, a prominent publication founded in 1868, during the tenure of editor Ralph McGill, a noted advocate for racial tolerance.
The newspaper outgrew the space rapidly, and after merging with the Atlanta Journal in 1950 under common ownership, it relocated in 1953.
Georgia Power (1955–1972)
Georgia Power, the city’s major utility company, moved into the building in 1955 after a remodel.
Many Atlantans paid their electric bills here, and the building was known as the Georgia Power Atlanta Division Building.
The company occupied it until 1972, when it moved to a new location at 241 Ralph McGill Boulevard, completed in 1981.
Vacancy (1972–Present)
The building has been largely vacant since 1972, a span of over 50 years as of 2025. It became a gathering place for the homeless during cold weather and suffered damage from a fire on March 26, 2013, though no injuries were reported and the structure remained sound.
Architectural and Historical Significance
The building is a notable example of Art Moderne, a mid-20th-century style with streamlined, modern features. A bas-relief sculpture by Atlanta artist Julian Harris, depicting the history of the press, adorned the Forsyth Street side but is now installed at the Georgia World Congress Center MARTA station.
An aluminum and terrazzo medallion of the Georgia state seal, originally in the entrance, is now at McElreath Hall at the Atlanta History Center.
Preservation Status
In 2003, the Atlanta Preservation Center’s Buildings Worth Saving Committee listed it as endangered.
A 2012 survey by the State Office of Historic Preservation found it eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C for architecture (as one of Atlanta’s earliest Modern-style buildings) and Criterion A for its association with Georgia Power and the city’s industrial history.
Redevelopment Efforts
The City of Atlanta acquired the building in 1995.
A 2017 sale to developer Pope & Land, with Place Properties, aimed to convert it to 67,000 square feet of offices, 142 parking spaces, and 2,500 square feet of retail, plus a new 112-unit residential building nearby, but the plan stalled.
Current Plans: Folio House
In 2024, Invest Atlanta, the city’s economic development arm, selected Wisconsin-based Gorman & Company for redevelopment.
The project, named Folio House, involves adaptive reuse of the 95,000-square-foot building and a new tower, yielding 197 residential units (only 7 at market rate, the rest at 30, 50, and 80% of area median income) and retail space.
Groundbreaking occurred in June 2025, aiming for completion before the 2026 FIFA World Cup to revitalize South Downtown and preserve this landmark.
Final Word
The building at 143 Alabama Street SW reflects Atlanta’s evolution from a railroad hub to a modern city, its media history through the Atlanta Constitution, and its industrial growth via Georgia Power.
Despite decades of neglect, its redevelopment promises to blend historic preservation with affordable housing and commercial vitality, aligning with broader efforts like Centennial Yards and the city’s 2030 housing goals.

Atlanta is a city of firsts, and this one involving transportation is a big one. Georgia’s largest city has been selected as the first city where the new Lime E-Bike will launch.
“During our initial pilots last year, it was clear that the LimeBike earned the love of our riders, with people returning to them frequently for local travel,” said Joe Kraus, President at Lime. “We’re so excited to take our next step with these vehicles and bring them to more cities this spring. The LimeBike makes strides in offering a convenient and inclusive experience to a wider number of riders, while sacrificing nothing in the joy all Lime vehicles inspire.”
What is LimeBike?
LimeBike is a new e-bike model introduced by Lime, a global leader in shared electric micromobility.
Designed to enhance accessibility and comfort, the LimeBike features a step-through frame for easier mounting and dismounting, wider tires for a smoother ride, and a throttle option for riders who prefer not to pedal constantly.
It targets a broader range of users, including women, older adults, and commuters, aiming to make micromobility more inclusive.
The bike supports longer trips, promotes car-free mobility, and incorporates modular design for easier repairs and sustainability, using swappable batteries shared with other Lime vehicles like the Gen4 fleet.
What Cities Is LimeBike Launching In?
Lime plans to launch more than 10,000 LimeBikes and LimeGliders across nearly a dozen cities in Europe and North America in 2025. Specific cities confirmed for the LimeBike rollout include:
- North America:
- Atlanta, Georgia: Selected as the first U.S. city to officially launch LimeBike, with a citywide rollout following a pilot program in 2024. This is supported by Atlanta’s strong micromobility culture and a 62% year-over-year ridership increase.
- Baltimore, Maryland: One of the first cities worldwide to launch LimeBike, with a fleet of 200 e-bikes deployed in the coming weeks after the announcement on May 30, 2025. Baltimore’s investment in bike lanes and safer streets contributed to this choice.
- Nashville, Tennessee: Among the world’s first cities to launch LimeBike, with up to 200 e-bikes rolling out over the next few weeks following the June 5, 2025 announcement, aligning with the city’s goals for accessible, equitable transportation.
- Denver, Colorado: Set to debut the LimeGlider, with potential for LimeBike expansion as part of Lime’s broader 2025 rollout strategy.
- Austin, Texas: Planned for LimeGlider debut, with LimeBike likely to follow in the wider North American rollout.
- San Francisco, California: Scheduled for LimeGlider launch, with potential inclusion of LimeBike as part of Lime’s expansion in key U.S. markets.
- Europe:
- Turin, Italy: LimeBike is set to roll out, capitalizing on the city’s established cycling culture and infrastructure.
- Aarhus, Denmark: Targeted for LimeBike deployment, leveraging the region’s bike-friendly environment.
- Nice, France: Included in the LimeBike rollout, expanding access in a city with a growing micromobility presence.
- Nyon, Switzerland: Part of the European launch for LimeBike, enhancing sustainable transport options.
- Zurich, Switzerland: Initially piloting LimeBike, with a wider rollout planned alongside the LimeGlider debut later in 2025.
- Seattle, Washington: While primarily noted for the LimeGlider launch in mid-August 2025, LimeBike is also expected to see wider availability in cities like Seattle as part of the broader strategy.
Final Word
The LimeBike follows successful pilot programs in 2024, with official launches beginning in spring 2025. Lime’s investment in 2025 includes fleet growth, new technology, and operational improvements to enhance safety, cleanliness, and rider experience.
The exact timeline for each city may vary, with deployments happening over the coming months, starting with initial fleets like the 200 e-bikes in Baltimore and Nashville. Additional cities may be announced as Lime finalizes its expansion plans.
Final Word
E-bikes aside, the city has plenty of nice places to stay and numerous cool things to do.
Atlanta has a lot of cool things to do and places to eat, including some of the top soul food joints and remarkable Thai food spots. Explore the city.

Perry is also hiring for other projects, Here’s how to get hired from a casting call for the show.
How Do I Audition For Tyler Perry?
Unlike the woman who got his attention by paying for a billboard, the most traditional way to audition for a Tyler Perry film or TV production is via casting call.
Casting calls typically require you to submit your photo and other pertinent information beforehand. If you are selected, you will get a call or email.
Is Tyler Perry Holding Auditions?
Perry typically hires casting companies to fill roles for his films. Any auditions will be orchestrated by the appropriate company that he has hired.
You don’t have to come to Tyler Perry Studios to audition for anything. He also hires casting companies that hold casting calls off-site away from where the films and TV shows are made.
Final Words
Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.
With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.

Prolonged high concentrations of dust are expected over metro Atlanta and much of Georgia over the next three to four days.
The large Saharan dust plume, described as one of the biggest of the 2025 season, has already reached Florida as of June 4 and 5, after traveling over 5,000 miles from North Africa.
It is expected to spread to other Southeastern states, including Georgia, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas, through the weekend. The dust is causing hazy skies, reduced visibility, and vibrant sunrises/sunsets due to light scattering by dust particles.
People who experience adverse effects due to dust exposure should take precautions.
Saharan dust, carried by the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), is a well-documented phenomenon where dust from the Sahara Desert travels across the Atlantic Ocean, often reaching the southeastern U.S., Gulf Coast, and Caribbean. The references confirm that a significant Saharan dust plume is already affecting the U.S. in early June.
Potential Health Impacts
Respiratory Effects: The dust contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), which can be inhaled deeply into the lungs, irritating airways and triggering:
- Coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath
- Throat and nasal irritation
- Worsening of allergies or sinus issues
- Vulnerable Populations:
- Children: Developing lungs and faster breathing rates increase susceptibility.
- Older Adults: Reduced lung function or existing health issues heighten risk.
- People with Respiratory Conditions: Those with asthma, COPD, bronchitis, or emphysema may face exacerbated symptoms, potentially leading to asthma attacks or the need for medical care.
- Heart Disease Patients: Dust can inflame blood vessels, raising risks for cardiovascular issues in those already at risk.
- Healthy Individuals: May experience mild symptoms like itchy eyes, scratchy throat, or minor coughing, especially during heavy dust concentrations.
