    Weekend thunderboomers and the root-weakening effect of a long-term drought were the likely culprits for downed trees in the city of Atlanta on Sunday and Monday. And for one Atlanta driver, one of those falling trees caused a harrowing experience. Marquez Peete was driving his white Ford pickup truck down Macon Drive in southeast Atlanta last Sunday afternoon, helping his brother move some items. “I saw (the tree) moving a little more than usual and then I heard the crackling,” Peete told me th

    This 100-year-old Atlanta woman hasn’t given up her Mustang or her zest for life (opens the original)

    A 100-year-old driving a white Ford Mustang in Atlanta traffic does not sound like the best idea. But Barbara Haig is no average centenarian, and the way she lives her life can teach people of all ages plenty — both on and off the roads. Haig turned 100 on Aug. 28, enjoying a week of celebrations capped by a big party at Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, where she has attended since 1960.

    Labor Day weekend caps what public safety officials often deem the 100 dangerous driving days of summer. The period, which begins on Memorial Day weekend, gained this grim moniker because of the confluence of several summertime factors: heavy travel, kids home from school (particularly young drivers with time on their hands) and partying. Unfortunately, this three-month stretch ends with a bang and not a whimper. The Georgia Department of Public Safety, which governs the state patrol, reported a

    Behind the scenes on a tragic morning of gridlocked Atlanta traffic (opens the original)

    The terrible traffic jam during Thursday morning’s commute will go down as one Atlantans will remember — and wish they could forget. I-75/I-85 northbound (Downtown Connector) was shut down from about 5 a.m. to after 8:30 a.m., as Atlanta police investigated after a pedestrian was hit and killed at the Williams Street curve, just after Spring Street (Exit 249D). The ensuing traffic jam sent reverberations far and wide and snarled thousands of people. The alternates to the alternates were jammed.

    Atlanta’s many ‘Peachtree’ streets make for viral comedy from New York quartet (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Some say there is a fine line between anguish or sadness — and laughter. Atlanta traffic can conjure quite a bit of the former two, but the best medicine just could be the latter. Viral memes and videos are often good for only ephemeral dopamine hits, but leave the elixir to the humor and talent of the Gregory Brothers, a longtime musical quartet.
