14+ min ago (1058+ words) Seven minutes to speak. A name drawn from a hat. Absolutely no notes allowed. Bombastic performed stories " and they're all completely true." These are the foundations of Carapace, Atlanta's long-running "live lit" storytelling event at Manuel's Tavern. For the past 15 years, Atlanta's self-proclaimed literary weirdos have met in the back room to drop their own "truth bombs" on the literary stage." Over the years Carapace has spawned its own creative community. Repeat speakers become veterans of the craft, while newcomers pour their nerves into the stage. Carapace has seen it all: children, seniors, well-rehearsed performances and totally off-the-cuff ramblings." On Nov. 21, a crowd of all kinds sat in Manuel's "big room" to watch the 15th anniversary show, themed "Spoiler Alert." The spoiler? Carapace has been going strong for 15 years, and it shows no signs of slowing down." Longtime attendees have their…...

34+ min ago (482+ words) Updated on: December 9, 2025 / 5:08 PM EST / CBS Atlanta Fulton County officials have ordered a full recount of all contests in last week's municipal runoff after a poll worker allegedly scanned multiple ballots " including ballots belonging to family members who were not present at the precinct, according to county leaders and the Georgia Secretary of State's Office." Fulton County's Board of Registration and Elections voted to conduct a recount under O.C.G.A. 21-2-495(a) after the Dec. 2 incident raised concerns about the accuracy of several races in Atlanta, South Fulton, Roswell, East Point, and Sandy Springs. County officials say the recount is expected to finish today and will not incur additional cost because temporary employees were already on-site. A poll manager first reported the irregularity after noticing a poll worker scanning two ballots. That worker was immediately escorted out by a police officer already stationed at…...

38+ min ago (420+ words) Matt Ryan hasn't played in the NFL since 2022, but what if the ex-Atlanta Falcons' star pursued an NFL comeback? It's certainly worth considering, as after the Colts lost Daniel Jones for the season, it was reported that Indianapolis called up Phillip Rivers, who's seemingly nearing an NFL comeback . But here's the real kicker, Rivers is nearly four years older than Ryan, as the news dropped on his 44th birthday. Meanwhile, the former NFL MVP is only 40 and played for the Colts two years after Rivers did, but was he so bad in his lone season away from Atlanta that they decided to call Rivers instead? That is a realistic possibility, as Matty Ice displayed sone serious signs of age back in 2022. But the more likely scenario is that they called the eight-time Pro Bowler instead because Chris Ballard knew he was…...

The DeKalb County School Board approved the modernization project on Monday. RELATED: Board approves Druid Hills High School renovations DeKalb County voters will now have to approve funding for the project in a referendum during next year's midterm elections.

(Atlanta News First) " Police officers delivered more than 70 packages to residents after a delivery driver quit mid-route and abandoned the parcels in an Athens neighborhood. Officers discovered dozens of packages dumped in a residential area. The carrier told officers the driver quit on the spot during their delivery route.

52+ min ago (201+ words) I'd look to have him back in the net starting for the Jets potentially next week" Those words spoken by TSN's hockey insider Darren Dreger today in Colorado Springs at the Board of Governers Meetings is probably music to the ears of Jets fans who have been lamenting the absence of the reigning NHL MVP and Vezina winner Connor Hellebuyck since he had a procedure on his knee in late November. Hellebuyck skated for the first time on Monday although head coach Scott Arniel was quick to douse cold water on the idea that it meant he was close. When you start seeing him in practice, then we'll have a conversation" he told us in his media availability just yesterday. But a lot can happen in 24 hours it would seem. Dreger was asked about the news regarding Hellebuyck and his…...

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (345+ words) It has been a relatively quiet few weeks for the Atlanta Braves following the reunion with closer Raisel Iglesias and acquisition of super utility man (and, perhaps, starting shortstop) Mauricio Dubon, but that does not mean Alex Anthopoulos isn't working on other additions. In a recent video segment with ESPN insider Buster Olney and Paul Hembekides, Olney said, "My sense of Alex Anthopoulos, and I've heard this from a lot of agents, is pitching, pitching, and pitching." Olney also suggested free agent starter Framber Valdez could be a fit for what Atlanta is looking for. Valdez has been remarkably durable since joining Houston's rotation in 2020 with a stellar 3.23 ERA / 3.36 FIP / 3.24 xFIP across 973 innings. It was reported on Tuesday that Valdez's market has not materialized in the early weeks of the offseason and a signing could be weeks or even months…...
