The latter connected socialism with the atrocities inflicted by the Soviet Union. Voters who were born after the Cold War did not associate socialism with totalitarianism. They identified … Continued

History Beneath our Feet: The Police Killings that Sparked Summer Riots in the 1960s
(atlanta.capitalbnews.org)
Atlanta loves to repeat its favorite line, a city too busy to hate. But these places know otherwise. There are streets in Atlanta where memory lies low, beneath the asphalt, whispering like wind through brick. If you walk slowly enough, you’ll hear it: not history, but instruction. Not nostalgia, but reckoning. Begin here. Georgia Avenue. […]

Images: Office-replacing Satellite Commons project to debut next month Josh Green Fri, 08/01/2025 - 13:02
Northeast of Atlanta, a multifaceted infill project is finishing construction that designers call a refreshingly walkable alternative to typical suburban development.
Satellite Commons, named for its location along Satellite Boulevard, is claiming a 40-acre former office site and parking lots across two phases in Duluth’s Sugarloaf area. It’s just north of the Interstate 85 junction with Ga. Highway 316, across the street from Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta Northeast, a large dealership.
The site is the former headquarters of Fortune 500 company NCR, a financial telecommunications firm that made waves by uprooting from Gwinnett to a glassy high-rise complex in Midtown seven years ago.
Officials with Nelson Worldwide, Satellite Commons’ architect of record, tell Urbanize Atlanta the project’s initial phase is finishing construction and scheduled to be completed in September.

Phase one includes 350 apartments, 64 rental cottages, and 25,000 square feet of walkable retail and restaurant space. Another 350 multifamily units are in the pipeline for phase two.
Onsite perks include saltwater pools described as “resort-style,” fitness centers, clubhouses with coworking, pocket parks, business centers, conference rooms, and multi-use trails that link the community to the Gwinnett County Trail Network. Overall, the goal was to create a “seamless blend of modern living, retail convenience, and accessible recreation,” per an architectural overview.
On the retail front, the project is partially leased, and tenants have begun moving in. We’ve asked for a list of signed tenants and will update this story should that come.

John Lewis, a Nelson principal and multifamily national practice leader, says the project’s planning lends functionality, aesthetic cohesiveness, and a modern feel—for “not just another suburban center,” in other words.
“Unlike other nearby small to medium-sized suburban developments, which tend to be standalone retail or office… or residential apartments, Satellite Commons blends both residential and commercial within one pedestrian-friendly complex,” Lewis wrote in an email.
“It's a full experience,” he continued, “[with] daily necessities, amenities, recreation, and social spaces, all walkable and programmed. That is rare in the broader Satellite Boulevard area, where commercial corridors dominate.”
