Publix closing hits Shallowford neighbors hard

Losing the Shallowford Exchange Publix isn’t just about a longer drive—it’s a real shake-up for neighbors who’ve relied on this spot for years. For many, it’s their closest grocery store, a place where weekly routines and quick stops just worked. Now, with the next Publix 13 minutes away, folks without easy transportation—especially seniors and families—are worried about how they’ll manage. Some are already talking about a food-access gap in the area. No word yet from Publix on why they’re closing, but shoppers say they’ll miss the convenience and community vibe. How will this change your grocery trips? #Business #LocalBusiness #Atlanta

Ticketmaster parking mix-up leaves Atlanta fans stranded

Imagine paying for parking through Ticketmaster, only to come out of a comedy show in Atlanta and find your car booted anyway. That’s exactly what happened to dozens at Buckhead Theatre after a Chris Fleming set—despite having prepaid receipts, their cars were immobilized for over an hour. Turns out, a miscommunication between Ticketmaster’s contractor and the parking company left everyone stuck. Thankfully, police helped get the boots off without extra charges, but it’s got people wondering: can we really trust these digital parking passes? Anyone else had a similar parking nightmare? #Entertainment #Ticketmaster #Atlanta

Best friends ring cancer bell together in Atlanta

Now both are cancer-free, back in school, and inspiring everyone around them. What’s the most meaningful act of friendship you’ve witnessed? #Health #BodyHealth #Atlanta

Powerball luck strikes Atlanta and Columbia

Two people just became millionaires overnight—one in Atlanta, the other in Columbia, S.C.—thanks to Monday’s Powerball drawing.

With the jackpot now soaring to $740 million, it’s wild to think how close these folks came to the big prize.

Atlanta mom’s fight for her son’s school

Securing a good education in Atlanta can mean fighting through housing instability, sky-high rents, and endless paperwork. Sechita McNair, a single mom and out-of-work film crew veteran, went to extraordinary lengths—working extra Uber shifts, borrowing money, and moving twice—just so her son Elias could stay at his high school. But the struggle didn’t end with a new lease: unreliable landlords, eviction threats, and academic setbacks kept piling up. For families like hers, the zip code you can afford often decides your child’s future. How do you think our city should support parents facing these impossible choices? #Relationships #Atlanta #EducationMatters
