What did you do to make Atlanta a better city in 2006?
Everyday answers to oddball questions
Al: I moved from Atlanta. I'm no longer here to complain about it. I took a negative vibe out. I worked at CNN and really hated it a lot. I felt my work was the only reason I was here, and working with overly competitive journalist types, I really got sick of them. Now Atlanta is a better city because my negative vibe is gone.

Rahmeek: I wake up in the morning and have a positive vision of what I'm going to accomplish. Part of it is being a good, decent human being and having positive energy and bouncing it off of people I come into contact with daily. Do something good and the other person may think, "Hey, maybe I should do something good." Just simple things. Smiling, greeting someone, holding the door, listening to someone.

Todd: I didn't rake my leaves out of my yard. If you rake your leaves, you're not allowing top soil to build on your lawn. Top soil is important, especially in Georgia. We have such a high granite content and high red clay content and we actually don't have a lot of top soil. If you allow the leaves to sit through the winter, they decompose and mulch and actually create and build up layers of top soil.
