Razing 148 Edgewood is a crime against Atlanta history. Don't do it.

Founder’s note: For the better part of the past year I’ve been focused on contributing to TrumpFile.org—bearing witness to truth and facts while this “administration” runs roughshod over laws, traditions and democracy itself. Even though CrankyYank has been on extended hiatus, our 10-year anniversary is coming up in November. I’m planning some fun things that month. But for now, enjoy this urgent…

In its desire for a horserace, American media is piling on the adult in the room. Nightly news broadcasts are unwatchable, and even some of my Trusted Newsers (see footer) have jumped on the “Biden leave” bandwagon. But even if you tune all that out, results on YouTube are even worse. So, yes, national media is suffering from amnesia, still and apparently forever, about how Casino Mobster…

When my son started walking and talking, I used to sit him on my lap so he could play with Mona’s controls and pretend to drive. “I love Nomar!” he squealed. “You mean, Mona, right?” I asked, thinking back to the moment in France when I decided to name her after the character on “Friends,” who was the only girlfriend who could legiminately corral Ross. “No,” the excitable car nut said, firmly.…
