UPDATE: 02/21/12

A couple weeks before Christmas, drivers on M.L.K. Drive in South Atlanta received a terrible surprise when a rain-filled pothole damaged more than a half dozen vehicles. Commuter Dude rushed to the scene and was able to get D.O.T. crews out to fix the hole in about an hour. But the financial damage incurred by drivers, would take Dude a little longer to repair.

ADOPT A PET: Meet Jacks

ATLANTA, Ga. – If you dream of coming home to a wet nose, wagging tail and tons of kisses (in addition to, perhaps, a half-chewed shoe or an overturned trashcan) adopt a puppy from your local Humane Society. According to the ASPCA, approximately 5 million to 7 million domesticated animals enter animal shelters nationwide, every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized. However, you can change those numbers by adopting a "companion" for yourself or for your family. Pets are an investment but, in our opinion, an investment well worth the money.

Estelle, hosts media and music insiders at Frank Ski's restaurant and celebrates new album release

ATLANTA -- R & B star, Estelle, was once again back in Atlanta days before her sold out show at CenterStage tonight. The Atlantic Records artist gave an exclusive "first listen" of her new album to a small group of press and local music insiders who gathered at Frank Ski's Restaurant in Midtown late Sunday evening.

This was my 2nd time meeting Estelle and she was as gracious and personable as ever. She greeted the small room one-on-one and thanked each of us for being there before playing tracks from the new album. "All of Me" is her third album and the follow up to her 2008 record, Shine.
