Inside The SprawlAn Atlanta Blog Featuring News, Commentary, Entertainment, Sports, Real Estate, and Politics

[Never Again!]

1. Barnes & Noble is for buying SAT review books.  Next Friday there is a special presentation of the movie Paperback Dreams.  The film is a documentary about independent bookstores.  Decatur Metro has more.
2. There is an indie craft fair tomorrow. It sounds like a hipster version of the Americana classic.  Disposable Income tiene mas.
3. Atlanta has joined the long line of parties looking for a handout.  Personally, we don’t favor a bailout.  The city ranks high on a list of spending per resident.  Any money coming to the city should be marked for public transportation infrastructure spending.
4. Cable & Tweed points out that there is an excellent show at Lenny’s tonight.
5. As usual, live apartment fire has found a local news gem.  This time it is Fox 5’s Suchita Vadlamani doing stripperobics.  Unfortunately, it is done with a total lack of irony.
6. Tech students were caught vandalizing the new Buzz statues that have popped up around campus.  Maybe they were angry at the University for mimicking the bulldogs that sprouted up around Athens 5-6 years ago.
7. New OutKast album! New OutKast album.  Luckily, this one won’t be used as the soundtrack to Newsies.
8. Quinton at Georgia Sports Blog talks about Georgia’s signings in the all the sports not called football.  Derrick Favors won’t commit to a monogamous relationship, but we’re still on his booty call list,  which is nice.
9. Southern Political Report has a unnorthernbiased (see:NYT) account of Race and the Presidential Race in the South.  The local highlight, Obama got the same number of white votes in Georgia as Kerry did in 2004.
10. Georgia Politics Unfiltered has the details on the Run-off Debates.  Television audiences could number in the tens.
11. Decatur Metro tells of a place that turns fyer oil into biodiesel.  We have seen a coupla these cars around town.  Still holding out for a car that runs on magic.
12. Georgia Power wants to build a nuclear power plant.  We agree, but only because it might provide us with more opportunities to snobbishly look down on people who say “nucular.”
