TEAM COVERAGE: Piedmont Park Pool Poo spill lead story on AJC.com

AJC: #1 for #2 news!
For some horrible, unknowable reason, the lead story on AJC.com at this very moment is the temporary closure of Piedmont Park pool today due to fecal contamination.
That’s not a joke. It really is the lead story. With a picture and everything.
The story doesn’t have a byline, so I have no idea if it was reported by the paper’s Senior Swimming Pool Correspondent, the Assistant Editor of Potty Training, or a Miscellaneous Spills reporter.
THIS JUST IN: The QuikTrip at North Druid Hills and Briarcliff roads reports a taquito has been dropped on the floor by a clumsy. I repeat: taquito down!
(A tug at the elastic thigh-band of my Huggies Pull-Ups® to @loriming for alerting me to this, and to Thomas Wheatley, for his Poo-litzer Prize-winning report on the spill earlier this afternoon.)

I’ve hired at least two former AJC journos to make sure this kinda thing never happens to my pool. Or Internet properties.

In my defense, nobody told me that Activia had side-effects.

Wow. Glenlake Pool in Decatur was also closed for a few hours yesterday due to contamination and I decided it wasn’t worth a blog post.
