Planet Atlanta

About Planet Atlanta The original Planet Atlanta started out as a print newspaper dedicated to covering international communities within the city. The paper’s founder, Molly Read Woo, came up with the name when dining at a Vietnamese café, which was just down the street from a Latin music store and an international farmers market along the Buford Highway corridor. People from every part of the planet call Atlanta home, she thought – but so few of them were well represented in local media at the time. The first issue of Planet Atlanta - The International Journal debuted in January 1994 with a circulation of 10,000. News about local entrepreneurs, cultural happenings, international trade and social organizations, as well as regular features of the monthly journal like the “Ask Jay” the Immigration Advisor column and the Planet Pup Comics strip soon became hits with native Atlantans and newcomers alike. With its broad and inclusive coverage, Planet Atlanta opened up media access to the region’s more diverse residents and created a welcoming atmosphere of multiculturalism in the city, which was particularly helpful to Atlanta’s civic leaders as they prepared to host the world for the 1996 Olympics. The 21st century Planet Atlanta is a multi-media and multi-format organization covering people from all walks of life in Atlanta; our industry, our art, our challenges, our history and latest happenings. We no longer limit ourselves to local subjects that have a predominantly global angle. Now anything newsworthy in Atlanta is part of our beat. And why still call it Planet Atlanta? Because anything that happens in Atlanta may in one way or another affect the entire Planet – and anything that happens around this Planet will most likely impact our lives here. We’re all in this together. Planet Atlanta now consists of a website, a public access TV show, and a community of people who care about each other and the events taking place daily in our city. Check back often on our page to see videos and posts about political and cultural events happening in and around town. This season you can also catch our Planet Atlanta half hour specials on People TV in Atlanta, Comcast Channel 24, Friday nights at 8:00 – or catch the show streaming live on the People TV website www.peopletv.org. We hope you enjoy and follow along and even contribute to this latest revolution of Planet Atlanta, your local international news service. Glad to have you in our orbit!

Atlanta’s I-285 expansion for car commuters could be much costlier than we thought.

Insane expense to pay for the wrong path. Imagine the far more environmentally friendly and truly needed transportation options we could buy with the same $$s. Who the hell thinks this is a good idea??

According to the AJC, a member of the Doraville City Council has signed a petition urging GDOT to stop the incredibly costly plans for expanding the top end of I-285 to add new capacity for toll la…

Light of Friendship

In light of the possibility that Atlanta may be on the brink of tearing down yet another irreplaceable landmark of our civil rights history, I wanted to share this view of Historic Friendship Baptist Church - with scenes taken from its last day of services.
I have maintained the Save Atlanta's Friendship page - even after we failed to save the historic church building, because I think it's important to keep in our vision, what is true and beautiful and inspiring in our history, even when - maybe especially when we can't see it in our city.

FOX 5 Atlanta

Thanks to William Perry for this report on the Fulton County Commissioners vote to give themselves a ballooning travel budget, that's adding insult to injury to taxpayers here.

OPINION: The Fulton County Commission recently voted to increase their seldom-used travel budgets by 400%. According to William Perry, they did so without any sort of study, analysis or opportunity for the public to comment.

What do you think? Is an unrestricted $350,000 travel budget a good use of taxpayer dollars?
