Last week’s top posts: Sex surveys, Marion Barry, streetcars and rail lines!

Monday, July 13th, 2009

1. Atlanta’s doin’ it and lovin’ it, says Trojan study (We’re No. 1 in the nation for sexual satisfaction and No. 2 for frequency of sex. Yeah, right.)

2. Washington City Paper’s Marion Barry story = gold (Speaking of surprising sex stories, the City Paper’s doozie on former mayor Barry was such a hit it crashed the paper’s website. What do you expect from the headline: “He put me out in Denver ’cause I wouldn’t suck his dick”?)

3. Filthy Rich: Best of Atlanta 2009 kicks off today (There are 18 days left to vote for the city’s best bands, restaurants, galleries, music venues, artists, shops and cultural attractions.)

4. Peachtree Streetcar vision isn’t dead yet (But it ain’t exactly called desire.)

5. GDOT, Beltline strike deal on vital track segments (City now controls roughly half of the right of way along the Beltline’s 22-mile loop.)

Best of Atlanta 2009 is all about being Filthy Rich

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

How can you be down with the Filthy Rich? Check out this year’s Best of Atlanta ballot, which you’ll find July 8 only at clatl.com/bestofatlanta.

Why all the glam talk in such glum economic times? After all, times are tight. We want it, but we hesitate to buy it. A trip to the mall? Please, we’re just window shopping. Stocking up on groceries for meals at home — instead of fancy feasts at our favorite restaurants — have become our saving grace.

Thing is, there’s an abundance of riches among Atlanta’s people, places and things. We are truly rich with options on where to go and what to do — so much so, it can be downright dirty. Sure, there’s the shiny, swanky side of Atlanta, but there’s the gritty, hidden and cheap side, too. Help us shine a light on both!

In addition to Critics Picks that highlight ways you can wrap yourself in luxury — in both authentic and untraditional ways — we want to hear from you. Your Readers Picks will uncover new gems and remind us of the perennial favorites. And after you vote, we want you to answer the big question everyone loves to fantasize about: What would you do if you were filthy rich? We’ll have quick online polls on our blogs, and new this year — a Facebook application that allows you to share the wealth.

So cash in on July 8 and make sure to look for the Best of Atlanta ballot!
