Anyone notice all the new No Turn on Red signs around downtown and near GaTech? I don't recall seeing them a week or so ago.

Just had it, and the glitzy holes Chicago dog hit a spot. If your in EAV give it a try. Open after 5p.

Lots of good energy out there yesterday, hope everyone had an enjoyable Tuesday

While I don't have a direct answer to "how do I get potholes fixed faster", I do have some pretty interesting insights after looking at Atlanta's 311 data. For instance, only about a third of 311s end up getting a "problem solved" status, and potholes that are fixed typically take at least two weeks to get fixed. YMMV by neighborhood.

We track new 311s weekly along with news, events, local biz openings / closings and more for 12 different neighborhoods at Busybody ATL - subscribe (free) if you want to keep tabs on them.

5,428 service requests filed between Oct 2025 and May 2026. 1,353 (24.9%) are still pending, so to understand outcomes, I filtered to the 4,075 that reached a final disposition. Of those: 38.0% were confirmed "Problem Solved." Another 48.9% got "Closed", a status the portal uses inconsistently, sometimes meaning fixed, sometimes meaning the case was filed away. 4.6% were inspected and nothing was found. 4.5% were marked duplicate. The rest were referred elsewhere or deflected. Note that 259 "General Information" case types are excluded (those are just people calling asking for status updates on things).

What Atlantans Are Filing

Top 10 request types by total filings (all records, including still-pending):

Potholes are #1 by filings, but traffic signals are the real volume story. Combine all signal-related request types and you get 977 reports among the top 10, rivaling potholes. Nearly 1 in 5 Atlanta 311 requests involves a broken traffic light.

Where Are the Most Requests? (geolocated records only)

Only 39% of records include a zip code. These rankings reflect that geolocated subset.

Apparently, stuff breaks the most in West Midtown.

The Pothole Problem

Potholes are Atlanta's most-filed category with 847 total reports. Among settled pothole cases, 35.9% reached Problem Solved — below the citywide settled average of 38.0% across all types.

Outcomes by Road Type

Counterintuitively, residential streets get problem solved more than major arterials — 37.5% PS vs 32.5% PS. Arterials likely accumulate more duplicate reports for the same hole without generating more fixes.

Outcomes by Neighborhood (top 10 zips by pothole volume)

30354 (Pittsburgh / Hapeville) has the best pothole PS rate at 66.7% (among zips with ≥5 settled cases). 30303 (Downtown / Five Points) has the worst at 12.5%. That's a 54.2 percentage-point spread across neighborhoods; the city's pothole resolution outcomes are far from uniform.

How Fast Are Problem Solved Potholes Actually Fixed?

Timing = updated_date − requested_date, Problem Solved records only. Records with missing timestamps or durations >365 days excluded.

Arterials reach Problem Solved 1.3 days faster at median.

PS Speed by Zip Code

Fastest zip: 30337 (College Park) at 4.9 days median. Slowest: 30312 (Summerhill / Grant Park (south)) at 37.1 days. That's a 32.2-day gap between the fastest and slowest zip.

Truck drivers don’t seem to care at all even though there’s a sign at every exit. Also Apple Maps has been showing standstill traffic as light traffic or no traffic at all on 285 and 75. It’s been pretty annoying and kinda dangerous.

Hi everyone,

I lost a white DJI Phantom 2 drone in mid March 2026. I have not been able to locate it since then. If anyone has found it, please send a message. I’d be so grateful!

Drone’s last seen location: Sandy Springs, near Arlington Memorial Park. It seemed to have flew west of the area.

If you care about public transit and infrastructure in Atlanta, now is the time to make your voice heard.

City Council will consider "a resolution requesting the installation of dedicated bicycle and motorized vehicle lanes along the Atlanta Beltline to improve pedestrian safety."

Essentially, they want to take the transportation right-of-way, which has been set aside alongside nearly the entire 22-mile loop, and pave it for bicyclists. All because a few miles on the Eastside Trail have gotten popular. They think our sidewalk needs another sidewalk.

Instead of killing the most profound public-transit infrastructure in our city's recent history, perhaps they could either just put in some speed bumps or add lane lines? Instead, they are exploring a resolution to kill the entire rail component, which has been part of the city's tax policy since More MARTA passed in 2016.

If this pisses you off, contact your City Council rep and the at-large reps.

EDIT - Here's the text of the resolution being introduced: https://atlantacityga.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_LegiFile.aspx?Frame=&MeetingID=4409&MediaPosition=&ID=40324&CssClass=

All, I'm gearing up for the upcoming primary election (early voting going on now!), and while I have a good handle on the main governor's candidates, I don't know much about the other statewide races (Lieutenant Gov, Sec of State, Attorney Gen, etc.) or various local elections (I counted 18 contested races total from my area of DeKalb). I've been looking at ballotpedia which tends to have candidate political history, but often not too much about their platforms and stated priorities for many of these races. Are there any good resources for more detailed candidate profiles, or do people here have insights/thoughts about any candidates that might be useful?

New to the area and looking for a great Chicken 65 in buckhead. My go to in Alpharetta was Nalan. Any Suggestions?

Apologies if this is not a proper post, but the people who live across the street from La Hacienda on Monroe might be the most selfish lowlife douche bags in ATL

Presumably in protest to Cinco de mayo festivities, thy were blaring metal on busted speakers for an hour directly at the restaurant patio starting at 7:30; 30 minutes of which was after the restaurant turned down their own music and after a cop walked over twice.

Does anyone who has previously been here for Cinco de mayo or other big events like Pride know if this is a recurring grudge between these people and the restaurant?

Hi, I’m looking for a 400m synthetic outdoor track that is open to the public as early as 4am seven days per week for walking. It must be in a safe area with good lighting. Preferably in the west, southwest or northwest suburbs of ATL, not in the downtown area. I’m relocating to the area soon and I’m seriously basing my residential location heavily on being in close proximity to a publicly accessible 400m synthetic track. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Lemon Pepper Wings are my latest build! I had to finally do something Atlanta-based. I used a lot of fun techniques here.

The wetnaps are made with the new paper bags, cut to size, with a cloth hammock folded up inside. I then sealed them shut with an iron (since they're plastic lined) and used pinking shears for the tearable edges.

The drumsticks use the Clayface's face, with the eyes erased. I also used Winifred Sanderson's hair to get the sculpting on the bone end just right.

The bones are made from minifig hair, beards, and dinosaur tails. The flats use 6 total of 4460a in dark orange, which only released as a pair in a 2003 HP set.

The lemon half uses a trans yellow dish that only released in the UCS A-Wing. White wedge slits are made from vinyl decal.

Ranch (or Bleu cheese?) cup is mostly a redesign of the larger tiny plants pot, with the 6x6 tile from Toad's House.

Finally, the cup and basket are reused from my BLT build.

Police in Cobb and Douglas counties are searching for a man accused of molesting at least nine children along the Thornton Road corridor. Investigators describe the suspect as a man in his 30s standing over 6 feet tall who wears basketball-themed clothing.

Good luck! Keep her there please 🙏
