Confessions of a grey-headed reporter. About Live Apt Fire. Contact live apt fire. Friday sucks you in, a temporal destination, a goalpost, an illusory finish line of the workweek. I hate Fridays. Friday is a destroyer, the marker by which we cheerfully advance our daily and weekly lives while wondering where the time went. April 1987, in which your boy chalks up one more Friday. On June 1, 1986 I began work in TV news in Atlanta. Over those nearly 30 years, I’ve celebrated 1552 Fridays. My first workday...

Confessions of a grey-headed reporter. About Live Apt Fire. Contact live apt fire. Tag Archives: Kasim Reed. I learned something about Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed in June: He’s a very gracious golfer. He also has a keen sense of his opponents’ weaknesses, and isn’t shy about attacking them. Last month I played golf with Reed. I produced a story about the game, intended as a snapshot character study of a guy we rarely see in a relaxed setting. Mayor Kasim Reed with a lousy golfer and a terrible person. I saw...

Confessions of a grey-headed reporter. About Live Apt Fire. Contact live apt fire. Category Archives: Creative Loafing. I’ll admit it. I was a bit nervous after the grand jury in St. Louis County declined to indict the Ferguson MO police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown. That night, violence had erupted in Ferguson. Protestors in Atlanta had already planned events for the following day. Whatever happens today won’t just be about Ferguson. It’ll be about a lifetime of frustration,...This will be ...

Confessions of a grey-headed reporter. About Live Apt Fire. Contact live apt fire. Friday night with Vernon Keenan, from the Athens Banner-Herald. Sometimes, it pays to be the old guy. There are a lot of things I could write about the cop-killer / hostage standoff / media intervention Friday night. I’ll mostly stick to the competitive aspect. GBI director Vernon Keenan with Tyson Paul (in the FBI vest). The siege is in the house in front of them. I can do that, but I have to call my boss first. My compet...
