The highest profile conviction related to Atlanta City Hall corruption sees a rare happening--prosecutors move to dismiss a charge they used to win a conviction; Because I made a sacred vow never to combine the adjective for the word 'heat' with the name of our lovely city, I won't. (And I hope you never do, either. But, if you do and then follow said unsaid word with a small chuckle, smitten by your own sense of humor, then I'm sorry. We cannot be friends.) That said, there's a reason it's not called "Coldlanta," and we'll understand that reason later this week very, very intently; and Washington funds a BeltLine connection that, for the first time, connects part of the trail directly to transit.
