After more than 10 years at this publication and four as its Editor-in-Chief, I’m leaving to go work for the Atlanta-based humanitarian nonprofit CARE. Tradition calls for a farewell column, a few hundred words where I reflect on my experience here. I’m proud of the work that’s been published on my watch, from our coverage of police killings, protests, and the HIV epidemic, to work exploring Atlanta’s food legacy as well as its rich music and arts cultures. But the more I think about it, the more I realize how much my experience is tied to the people who have made Creative Loafing a place where someone would actually want to stick around for a decade. I want to tell you about some of them (there are too many to name), because they are what makes Creative Loafing relevant and worth reading, and are what I will miss the most about this job.There is Music Editor Chad Radford with his deep sonic knowledge of this city. His interest in new music never seems to falter, nor does his ability to contextualize and make sense of it for the rest of us. He’s revered by his co-workers for his chillness and his commitment to the afternoon coffee walk. Senior Writer Rodney Carmichael is an indispensable critical voice, continuously considering the roots of the cultural circumstances in which we find ourselves, from the gender politics of strip clubs to the audacity of Goodie Mob’s Soul Food album to ruminations on the future of Sweet Auburn and the Atlanta of OutKast’s past.Joeff Davis, CL’s fleet-footed photographer and most vocal dissident, makes work steeped in irony, humanity, beauty, and the bizarre. Art Director Wes Duvall manages incredible creativity under pressure and Alicia Carter, CL’s longtime managing editor, conducts all our deadline craziness with unmatched patience. News Editor Thomas Wheatley has been the best wingman an editor could ask for, with his boundless curiosity about the city and its inner workings and his ability to make anyone laugh, even on the tough days. I’m excited by the promise of the newer editors on staff, including Culture Editor Beca Grimm, Food Editor Hilary Cadigan, and Editorial Assistant Adjoa Danso. They’re full of ideas, from deep thoughts on identity politics to inviting kittens to the office to hang out.To me, Creative Loafing has been a place where bright young talent could thrive, where you could get your footing as an intern and end up an award-winning food editor (Stephanie Dazey), culture editor (Wyatt Williams), or editor-in-chief (me). A place where you could come to reinvent yourself from music editor to senior writer (Rodney Carmichael) or aspiring writer to local news expert (Max Blau).Atlanta and Creative Loafing have a lot in common in that regard.
             

I came to work at Creative Loafing because I loved how smart, opinionated, and funny it was and because its journalism clearly played an important role in the community. Those qualities endure, even as the staff, paper, and website have gone through so many changes. Creative Loafing matters to Atlanta and Atlanta matters deeply to the CL staff. I saw that every day I worked here. I’m so glad I had the chance to help lead and participate in conversations that have impacted the city. I’m really gonna miss this place."

Christian, who was in custody for an alleged car theft, had been handcuffed and placed in the back of a cop car. Police say she got out of her cuffs and began shooting at the officers, causing them to fire back. After nearly 18 months of waiting, dashcam recordings from the incident have finally been released. "None of this is visible in the released footage, which shows the view out of the front windshield of the car. Gunshots are audible, however, after the sound of a struggle. A man shouts 'put the gun down' repeatedly and a woman responds saying 'I don't have a gun.' More shots are fired and a woman is heard whimpering. Fulton District Attorney Paul Howard declined to press any charges back in July. Howard has said Christian was not searched for a weapon before being placed in the police vehicle."

>>An online petition has amassed more than 4,000 signatures in favor of renaming Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, the street formerly known as Bankhead, Carlos R Walker Parkway in honor of late Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo. The King of Bankhead died Sept. 21 in a car crash on I-285.

>>One Atlantic Center, the towering Midtown skyscraper topped with a copper pyramid at the corner of 14th and West Peachtree streets has been sold to Starwood Capital Group. "Starwood did not disclose financial terms of the deal. But as first reported by Atlanta Business Chronicle in July, Starwood was expected to pay about $300 a foot, or about $330 million for the 1.1-million-square-foot tower."

>>Hurricane Matthew is barreling through the Caribbean with 120 MPH-plus winds. It's already hit Cuba and Haiti and is headed toward Southern Florida and the East Coast. "Forecasters predict it will be a Category 4 hurricane by the time it brushes up against the East Coast — including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina — sometime between Thursday evening and Saturday."

"More than a dozen cities around the country, including Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle, are seeking similar ballot measures. Taken together, the initiatives would fund $200 billion worth of transit projects, if passed." An "unprecedented" situation according to Richard White, president and CEO of the American Public Transportation Association (APTA).

As we close in on election day 2016, CNN headed over to Killer Mike's Graffiti's Swag Shop for a pundit-free roundtable on the presidential race, namely the recent revelation the Hillary Clinton has pneumonia. Barbershop patrons including a firefighter, a Trump supporter, and grassroots activists, among others, participated. 

The campaign around Gov. Nathan Deal's school takeover initiative got a little more intense this week with the recruitment of  Democratic Senator Freddie Powell Sims for a seven-figure TV ad. "Deal’s plan would give the state the power to take control of persistently failing schools through a new Opportunity School District if approved by voters in November, and Deal has staked his second-term education agenda on winning its passage. It faces staunch opposition from leading Democrats and educators groups who say it would give control of local schools to an aloof entity that is not accountable to voters."

Doraville's Carver Hills neighborhood was built in the '40s around the then-new GM plant and split in two in the '60s with the construction of I-285. Now a new wave of redevelopment has come to the area in the form of a mixed-use development. "Today, many properties are overgrown. Maybe just ten houses are occupied. The main sound in the neighborhood is the passing of cars on I-285. The residents who are left agreed to sell their land to Century Communities. The developer wants to build a new neighborhood with townhomes, a dog park and pool. The company plans to keep the 'Carver Hills' name."

Comedian, actor, and friend of Bob Odenkirk David Cross has feelings about the Braves' impending move to the new SunTrust Stadium in Cobb County that might best be summed up by the "Fuck Cobb County" t-shirt he bought online. "'I was a Braves fan. Die hard. With my family and friends, I’ve probably spent $40,000 over the years on the team. ... No more. I just can’t. It’s so blatantly wrong.'

A friendly reminder that Donald Glover's new show "Atlanta" premieres tonight on FX. Read up before watching with CL Senior Writer Rodney Carmichael's interview with Glover. "We wanted to make a show that was punk. We wanted to make something that felt like it probably shouldn’t be on TV. That’s the stuff that made NWA hot, or even OutKast. It was like, 'OK, this doesn’t belong here — which is kind of why I’m looking at it.'”
