Atlanta HBCU students get creative to stay in school

College dreams in Atlanta are running up against some steep price tags—tuition at local HBCUs can hit $56,000 a year. Students like Journi Robison and Marquan Buchanan are juggling full-time classes and big bills, with some turning to GoFundMe just to keep their spots in school. The outpouring of support has been a lifeline, showing how community can step up when financial aid and loans aren’t enough. It’s eye-opening to see how much students rely on each other—and strangers—to make it to graduation. How do you feel about crowdfunding for education? #Education #College #Atlanta

Why Porsche is everywhere in Atlanta lately

Porsche just had its best sales year ever in the U.S., and Atlanta is right at the heart of it. With their North American HQ and test track on the Southside, the city’s seeing more new Porsches—especially the Macan SUV, which now comes in both gas and electric. The campus isn’t just about cars; it’s a major employer and tourist draw, too. Even as the auto market faces a tougher 2026, Porsche is rolling out new models and breaking records. Anyone else noticing more Porsches on the road or have stories from the experience center? #Cars #Atlanta #Porsche

A young Dahlonega resident’s nightmare used car purchase ended with a refund—only after a local news investigation stepped in. Imagine buying a car for $8,000, only for it to break down an hour later and then discovering it was labeled a 'biohazard' at auction! The dealership initially dodged refunds, even bouncing a check, but public pressure made things right. This story is a reminder: always ask for the full vehicle history, check for hidden issues, and insist on a mechanic’s inspection before buying used.

Atlanta’s silent dancer brings joy to the Beltline

You might spot Joseph Fogg—boots, tank top, sunglasses—dancing his heart out on the Atlanta Beltline, but here’s the twist: there’s no music playing for anyone but him. Fogg’s “Hype Me Up” videos have taken off because he grooves to his own beat, literally, with tunes only in his earbuds. The reactions from bystanders range from confused to delighted, but by the end, most people can’t help but smile. It’s a reminder that sometimes a little goofiness can brighten a whole city’s day. What do you think—would you join in or just watch? #Entertainment #TVSeries #Atlanta
