It’s Music Midtown.

Organizers announced on the event’s official social media accounts on Wednesday that the music festival will not return this year.

This isn’t the first time the event has taken years off since launching in 1994. There was a six-year hiatus in the early aughts. It was also canceled in 2020 and again in 2022.

It’s Ravens.

In Georgia, ravens are considered a rare species, but somehow, they’re bouncing back to the Southeast.

The rebound is in stark contrast to many bird species that are declining dramatically. A 2019 study found species declining by 20, 30, even 50% since 1970.

It’s All of the Above.

Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, Instacart and other app companies are among the services experiencing an ongoing strike.

In statements to WABE, Uber and Lyft say the demonstration did not significantly impact waiting times or service. Both companies say they are working to improve the driver experience.

It’s Mary Mac’s Tea Room.

The historic staple of Atlanta cuisine has been in the same Ponce De Leon Avenue location since opening in 1945.

Dubbed “The Original Southern Tea Room,” Mary Mac’s has seen visits from various celebrities, political figures and athletes throughout the years, ranging from former President Jimmy Carter to music icon Beyoncé.

It’s President Greg Fenves.

A significant crop of the Emory community wants Fenves – the school’s president – to step down after law enforcement forcefully cleared campus protests last month.
