Atlanta teen is changing the future of farming

A 15-year-old in Atlanta is running a high-tech hydroponic farm that’s more like a science lab than a traditional field. Malon James grows over 40 types of crops indoors, using custom organic nutrients, robotics, and even his own AI assistant. He started with family traditions and scaled up with help from USDA youth loans and local mentors. Malon’s mission? Make fresh, healthy food accessible to everyone—especially when supply chains break down. His journey is proof that when young people get support, they can reshape entire communities. What do you think: Is this the future of farming in our cities? #Business #Industry #Atlanta

Atlanta pastor’s wife redefines ‘first lady’ style

The real headline from Atlanta’s biggest HBCU fundraiser wasn’t the $4 million raised or the powerful prayers—it was Dr. Karri Bryant’s dress. After her lace gown set off a firestorm online, the Bryants addressed critics head-on, calling out those more focused on fashion than impact. Dr. Bryant made it clear: she dresses for herself and her husband, not for anyone else’s expectations. She’s challenging the idea that a pastor’s wife has to fit a narrow mold, reminding everyone that titles don’t define us—we define them. Where do you stand on tradition versus self-expression in faith communities? #Religion #Atlanta #FaithCommunity

Frankie’s big break: Atlanta’s longest-shelter dog finds home

After 461 days at PAWS Atlanta, the last dog rescued from the BioLab fire finally has a family. Frankie (formerly Smidgen) spent over a year as a volunteer favorite, but kept getting overlooked—until now. Her story started in chaos, with a chemical fire and thousands evacuated, but ends with her curled up in a loving home. It’s a reminder of how long some pets wait for a second chance.

Tense moments as jet’s tires melt in Atlanta

Landing at Atlanta’s main airport turned chaotic when a Boeing 767’s tires blew out and even melted, forcing passengers to evacuate and causing hours of delays. Some described overhead bins popping open and a bathroom door ripped off its hinges after a hard landing. Families anxiously waited for updates, with many travelers missing connections and being stranded for the night. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the cause of the tire failure is still a mystery. It’s a reminder of how quickly travel plans can unravel—and how crucial clear communication is in emergencies. How would you have handled being on that flight? #Business #Industry #Atlanta
