  • Here’s Where the 4 New MARTA Stations Will Be Built In Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    Atlanta is leaning hard into public transportation for the foreseeable future with the recent announcement of four new MARTA stations coming to Atlanta.

    The news was shared by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who stressed that any new transit project address the city’s equity needs.

    “Our city’s transportation landscape is dynamic, mirroring the diverse growth and evolution of Atlanta’s neighborhoods. Both legacy and emerging communities have immediate transportation needs that deserve effective solutions,” said Dickens.

    Among the plans are to build new MARTA stations around the city, including a heavy rail system at Murphy Crossing.

    Where Are the New MARTA Stations Being Built?

    Here are the locations for the four MARTA stations:

    Murphy Crossing

    1050 Murphy Ave., Atlanta, Ga. 30310

    Located at the intersection of Murphy Avenue and Sylvan Road, Murphy Crossing is a redevelopment site that was once slated for office/commercial but funding fell through. Owned by the Beltline, now its use as a transit hub becomes clear.

    Krog Street/Hulsey Yard

    Boulevard Dr., Atlanta, Ga. SE 30307

    The city’s transit plans also include transforming the Krog Street and the Halsey depot, a CSX freight storage property, into a MARTA station.

    Also, construction of a corridor for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line to connect the redeveloped Bowen Homes community with Ponce City Market.

    Joseph E. Boone

    Among the infill MARTA station investments is a rail hub on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard.

    The project will highlight civic collaboration between the City of Atlanta in partnership with the Atlanta BeltLine, and MARTA to deliver equitable transportation projects across Atlanta.

    Armour Yards

    Armour Circle, NE Atlanta, Ga. 30324

    Officially the city’s MARTA rail yard, the Armour Circle project will MARTA’s expansion meet the city’s transportation goals as a major metropolitan city.

    “It is imperative that our transportation investments are strategically and equitably deployed to increase ridership on MARTA’s heavy rail network and bus system fostering a more connected and unified Atlanta,” he said.

    In addition to developing design and financing plans, the directive from Dickens calls for community engagement efforts to ensure the design of the infill stations are accessible and appropriate for their respective neighborhoods.

    Final Word

    MARTA is expanding for the first time in years. So you want to know more about getting around Atlanta? Read our MARTA Guide.

  • Donald Trump visits Chick-fil-A in Atlanta.

    What Former President Trump Ordered At an Atlanta Chick-fil-A

    2 Min Read

    Former President Donald Trump stopped inside of an Atlanta Chick-fil-A on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, to put in an enormous order for his supporters on hand. The Vine City Chick-fil-A has been in operation for a few years now as being a part of a Arthur Blank-led revitalization plan.

    Trump was on town to participate in a fundraiser to help pay for some adverse judgments that went against him in a New York court.

    At the Chick-fil-A, Trump told the associates that “Is business good? Making a lot of money? So everyone can get rich, right?” He want on to ask them if they liked each other.

    What Did Trump Order at the Atlanta Chick-fil-A

    Trump ordered “30 milkshakes” and also “some chicken, that way we can take care of the customers.” Assuming he didn’t get a discount, the milkshakes alone would cost $150. With chicken, we’re talking double that at least.

    Here’s Trump in action in the ATL:

    Trump is obviously familiar with the food, but does he know about Chick-fil-A’s secret menu? Maybe we can put him up on game.

    Final Bite

    Chick-fil-A has consistently been voted one of the top fast-food eateries in America. Along with solid customer service and a secret menu, the restaurant may not be the trendiest but it gets the job done.

  • Special Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade resigns

    Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade Abruptly Leaves Trump Trial [Read His Resignation Letter]

    2 Min Read

    Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade has dropped out of the election subversion case involving former President Trump and co-defendants.

    The development comes after Fulton County Judge McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had to either recuse herself or remove her lover, Wade, from the Trump case.

    Wade released a statement, resigning from the case, saying that, “Seeking justice for the people of Georgia and the United States, and being part of the effort to ensure that the rule of law and democracy are preserved, has been the honor of a lifetime.”

    Wade was under scrutiny for being a prosecuting attorney in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case against Trump.

    Willis, according to critics, has exposed herself to credible claims about her credibility now that other investigations are underway, including one launched by the Georgia Senate. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp can also step in and investigate Willis if he so desires.

    Final Word

    And so the case continues, albeit different than how it started.

    Willis has inferred that she has had to do her job amid intense pressure on her personal life.

    Speaking to a church in January, Willis said that she is far from perfect.
    ““You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners,” she said.

    “We need your prayers, We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that type of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’s will — stumbling all of the way!”

    We’ll see how the hearing unfolds, but it’s no doubt that Republicans will celebrate if Willis is taken down and Democrats will breathe a sigh of relief if she is found to stay
