Were you unable to attend those innovative show-and-tell sessions held each week at Octane? The eye-opening events more commonly known as Atlanta Pecha Kucha? No worries, my friend!
Alfredo Aponte, one of the event’s organizers, has posted some of this season’s offerings on Vimeo. Below’s a sampling. Check out the rest on the Atlanta Pecha Kucha Vimeo page.
Grayson Daughters spoke with Atlanta Police Union President Scott Kreher at the most recent Atlantans Together Against Crime rally in Midtown. Topics included how the organization will endorse a candidate in the Atlanta mayor’s race, what role the community plays in fighting crime, and what’s needed to end police furloughs.
In March, the Atlanta City Council unanimously passed a resolution urging Mayor Shirley Franklin to introduce a budget that ended police and firefighter furloughs. Last week, the mayor granted its request. Council is expected to vote on the budget in June.
Grayson Daughters produced an excellent video of this morning’s vigil for John Henderson, the Standard Food and Spirits bartender who was murdered early Wednesday morning during a robbery at the Memorial Drive restaurant.
