City makes case for Optimism

osted by Operation HOPE, an Atlanta-based financial education and empowerment organization, the Hope Global Forums, a three-day networking and information event, was themed "Making the Case for Optimism" and featured industry leaders in business, faith, real estate, healthcare, transportation, logistics, sports, finance and journalism/media. Delta's Emergency Savings Program was launched in January 2023 with the express purpose of educating employees about how to save money and providing financial literacy.

Some of the names that took the multiple stages and breakout rooms inside the Hyatt Regency Atlanta included Atlanta luminary, Civil Rights era leader and former United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young, Operation HOPE Founder & CEO John Hope Bryant, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell, Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian, Spelman College President Dr. Helene D. Gayle, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, and religious leader and author Bishop T.D. Jakes.

Delta: 'That's the model, take care of our people first.'

Operation HOPE founder and CEO John Hope Bryant appeared on the main stage of the grand ballroom inside the Hyatt Regency Atlanta by way of a leap. He was excited to have the conversation that was scheduled to take place on day two of the HOPE Global Forum, which returned to downtown Atlanta on Sunday, Dec. 10.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian was the guest for a discussion titled, "Taking Flight: How Investing in People and Culture are Paying Dividends". In 2022 Delta employed over 95,000 employees around the country, according to the company's website and data provided by data website macrotrends.com.

That was an increase of nearly 15% year-toyear. Bastian mentioned that there are now 100,000 global employees of the airline and talked about the many ways the company continues to keep employees.

"One of the things at Delta that we hold dear is our people," Bastian said. "That's the model: take care of your people first."

Bastian said that the 100,000 employees under his care as CEO are a main focus and part of taking care of people as a major company and Georgia's largest employer is mak-

whole country, but we can take care of Delta employees."

Bastian revealed that Delta employees have spent 3.5 million hours taking part in the financial literacy coursework provided by the Emergency Savings Program.

Hearing those numbers, Bryant said, "I'm proud to say it features Operation HOPE." He shared a story of how a Delta employee who he chose to not name, said he and his wife no longer fight over money. "I'm trying not to get too emotional right now," Bryant said during the story. "We need heroes and she-roes in business. You can do well and do good at the same time."

Bastian followed by saying that it's really about doing good by people while simultaneously doing billions of dollars of business all over the world. "So our opportunity to do the right thing is also the strategic thing," said Bastian.

Delta Air Lines Vice President, Total Rewards Kelley Elliott joined Bryant on stage after Bastian left, and reiterated the point that 50% of Americans do not have immediate access to $1,000 in case of a financial emergency. Elliott said access to financial literacy for its employees remains among the company’s goals going forward.

From Atlanta to the World

here are 11 universities and colleges in Atlanta proper, including Historically Black College and Universities Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, the Morehouse School of Medicine, Morris Brown College, and Spelman College, and some 57 colleges and universities in the metro Atlanta area, including Kennesaw State University, according to universityguru. com. All of those institutions graduate talented individuals in various career fields.

Some remain in Atlanta, adding to the city’s diverse workforce and thus to its population, while others leave to live elsewhere.

The question of how to keep the city’s talented graduates while also continuing to attract people by the hundreds of thousands every year was part of the question being explored during the “Atlanta as America” panel.

Day two of the three-day event had an afternoon discussion on defining new strategies for success in Atlanta that included Atlanta Mayor and Georgia Tech alum Andre Dickens, Spelman College President Dr. Helene Gayle, and Atlanta Hawks Principal Owner and governor of the Board of Directors Tony Ressler. The conversation was moderated by Bloomberg Originals chief correspondent Jason Kelly, an Atlanta native.

“This southern city punches above its weight class. We continue to do that because of inclusivity,” said Dickens when asked by Kelly about why Atlanta continues to thrive in so many different professional fields. The three panelists and the host approached the conversation from the standpoint that Atlanta has come a long way to become, in some cases, the most business-friendly state in the country, but still must make sure to spread the wealth equally.

“Investing in people. At the end of the day it's critical to invest in people,” said Gayle, who lived and worked in Atlanta several times before returning to lead Spelman College. “Every time I came back to Atlanta to work it was a different city.”

In terms of tech talent remaining in Atlanta and branching out to include Black people, Gayle said the challenge is to get the financial resources to the Black tech talent throughout the city. “You can’t have a solution if you’re not addressing the underlying issues as well,” she said. “One of the things we try to do is expose our students to different parts of Atlanta. “We want to be a magnet for them and have them stay in this wonderful city.”

Dickens has bigger goals for the city’s tech entrepreneurs, talented artists, and business owners. “My goal is to make Atlanta a top-5 ecosystem in technology,” he said.

Thousands of people from all over the country spent time at the conference inside the main ballroom inside the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. ment team that is looking to reshape downtown Atlanta as we know it with the Centen-

nial Yards project. The part residential, part retail project will add places to work, play,

and stay in a part of Atlanta that is growing, but remains ‘A ghost town,” according to Dickens. Ressler said a pro-development city government has been good for business.

“In Atlanta, you can be pro-good government, pro-diversity, and pro-good business,” Ressler said, pointing to the mayor, who continues to champion public/private business partnerships throughout the city.

Dickens knows a total revitalization of downtown is going to take work, but feels like it is doable. “If it was easy it would have been done already,” Dickens said. “We have a nexus of people saying we can do it. Now we have a community-minded effort.”

The City of Atlanta recently opened the Housing Help Center downtown across the street from Five Points. This can be viewed as another indication that downtown is critical to the mayor’s first-term plans. “We want a vibrant downtown filled with arts and people,” Dickens said. “So that it doesn’t turn into a ghost town at night. Intentionality is our ally in this.”

A few weeks ago there were 80,000-plus fans inside and outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the SEC championship game. Another 40,000 attended the Falcons game Sunday and another 40,000-50,000 will attend the Celebration Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 16. Thousands more are attending the Hope Global Forums this week.

t’s no surprise to anyone who has filled up their tank, been to the grocery store, or applied for a loan that skyhigh inflation and increasing interest rates are placing an undue financial burden on citizens across the country and constraints on business investments.

Here in Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp suspended the gas tax for months and put money back in the pockets of hardworking taxpayers among other fiscal decisions that have helped ease the burden on Peach State families.

However, at the end of the day, inflation and interest rates are D.C. problems that place an artificial cap on an otherwise healthy economy.

In addition to facing the challenges of inflation, young Georgians are finding it nearly impossible to afford their critical first homes because of increasing mortgage rates. Nationally, home purchases are down by over 14% since October of last year, and monthly payments on housing units have sky-rocketed by 53% from Q1 of 2022 to Q1 of 2023 alone.

Interest rates between 6% and 7% coupled with the drastic decrease in new builds have forced many empty nesters to stay in homes they don’t need further limiting the available housing stock for first-time home buyers and making it even harder for them to afford their first home. The Georgia Chamber has supported legislation at the state level to increase the availability of housing and decrease barriers for homebuilders, but further action to reduce interest rates and housing costs is needed at the federal level.

Housing affordability isn’t the only problem. Georgia has the second-highest loan rates for both new and used vehicles in the country at 7.91% and 12.15% respectively. Transportation is a key reason many people aren’t

Photo Credit: iStock.com/Diy13 working today, and these rates are making the problem worse!

While these issues are impacting Georgia’s families in a very real way, small businesses throughout the state are also struggling under the current economic conditions.

In a recent survey, only 29% of small business owners said that their companies could afford to take out a loan with small business loan rates sitting between 7% and 9%. Many of these Main Street businesses already operate week to week, so it’s easy to see how even a small uptick in interest rates could ripple through their profit margins. In the same survey, 85% of respondents noted that if access to capital continues to tighten it will dramatically impact their growth by forcing them to halt expansion plans, implement hiring freezes, lay off workers, or close their doors altogether. These businesses are the heartbeat of our communities and

deserve better!

Instead of decreasing barriers for small businesses to access loans, federal regulators chose to do the exact opposite. In July 2023, the Basel III Endgame Rule was proposed which would require large banks and most regional banks to increase their capital holdings by 20%. This rule will significantly reduce access to capital for Georgia’s small businesses, households, and consumers by forcing banks to offer less financing or offer it at a much higher cost. At the same time, Washington’s inaction on tax policy means many small businesses will be paying higher tax bills in 2025.

The Georgia Chamber, on behalf of the business community in every single county in the state, is taking a stand for small businesses, our employees, and communities by urging Washington lawmakers to address poorly conceived policy in the financial mar-

kets, and to pass much-needed tax break extensions. We also call on the Federal Reserve to take immediate action to reduce interest rates and remove the constraints hindering economic growth and prosperity. Homeownership matters. Small businesses matter. The auto industry and manufacturing matter. It’s time for Washington to act like it!

User’s Guide: MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES How Foreclosure Works

The loan a person takes out to to buy real estate such as a house or condominium is called a mortgage and requires monthly payments. In Georgia, if the property owner falls behind in making those payments, the lender, such as a bank, can sell the property at auction to settle the debt. Doing so is known as foreclosing on a property.

These auctions take place the first Tuesday of every month (or the first Wednesday if the first Tuesday falls on a holiday) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the steps of the county courthouse. The auction of properties in Fulton County takes place in downtown Atlanta on the front steps of the Fulton County Courthouse at 136 Pryor St. Georgia law allows lenders to conduct an auction without going before a judge on one condition: The lender must give the borrower—and the public—proper, legal notice of its plans to foreclose. Proper notification means advertising in the county’s official legal newspaper. In Fulton County, that official newspaper is the Daily Report. The lender must advertise its intent to foreclose once a week for the four consecutive weeks leading up to the “first Tuesday” sale date.

To auction off a property the first Tuesday of March, for example, a lender must have published a foreclosure notice during each of the four weeks of February.

How to Use the Information

• Property Owners: Protect Your Interests During the weeks leading up to the auction date, many property owners are able to work things out with their lenders, seek bankruptcy protection or line up other arrangements to prevent the bank from selling off their homes. If your lender has started foreclosure proceedings against your property, these listings provide you with an extra alert— over and above the official notice published in full in the Daily Report—to take action.

See MORTGAGE, Page 2

Introduction

User’s Guide:

from the publisher Get behind on your mortgage, and you could lose your home. Don’t pay your property taxes, and you might similarly find your house auctioned off on the courthouse steps.

Both types of forced sale, known as foreclosure, involve complicated legal procedures. We’ve designed FCDR ConsumeR AleRts to take some of the mystery out of the process and to alert consumers to how and when to take action.

We can provide this service because, by law, no foreclosure can occur unless properly announced in the official legal newspaper of the county. That’s required for the benefit of the property owner but also for the community at large. The publication requirement is founded upon the same notions of due process, open government and community awareness that underlie American democracy, and it’s a practice at least as old as the country itself.

Since 1890, the Fulton County DAily RepoRt has served as Fulton County’s newspaper of record for public notices. Each day, important public information courses through our pages in the form of hundreds and hundreds of official notices.

We’ve designed FCDR ConsumeR AleRts to present that information in

an easy-to-understand and easy-touse format.

Thanks to a partnership between the Fulton County DAily RepoRt and the AtlAntA VoiCe, FCDR ConsumeR AleRts will reach tens of thousands of county readers each month. We’ve also made a database of the information available on the Internet, expanding the utility and reach of county information even further. At www.fcdr.com, members of the public can make intelligent searches and link to the full text of official public notices as originally published in the DAily RepoRt. On the following pages you’ll find this month’s FCDR ConsumeR AleRts, along with user’s guides that help explain the legal procedures at work, the different forms of public notice, and how to make the most of the information.

As always, we welcome your thoughts. If you have any suggestions or comments about how we can improve FCDR ConsumeR AleRts, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the address below.

TAX FORECLOSURES Local government runs on property taxes. That’s why Georgia law imposes severe penalties for failing to pay them.

If left unresolved, a bad situation easily can become worse, forcing a homeowner in arrears to choose between paying a small fortune or losing the family homestead.

It doesn’t have to come to that. And in fact, there are several opportunities throughout the property tax collection process that allow the homeowner to come current and avoid the worst.

We’ve designed our tax sale listings to make sure homeowners don’t miss those opportunities.

We’re able to provide this service because the Daily Report is the official newspaper of the Fulton County courts.

Throughout the process in Fulton County, the law requires the various collection participants to publish several different forms of notice in the Daily Report.

Those notices form the basis for the listings below.

How the Collection Process Works

Our tax sale listings represents a compilation of information from the following types of public notices: • Non-Judicial Tax Sale • Redemption Rights Deadline • Judicial Tax Hearing • Judicial Tax Sale • Quiet Title Here’s how the tax collection process works, what the different notices mean, and when they come into play.

More Than One Way to Collect

Your obligation to pay property taxes is backed by the property itself. Fail to pay, and the county tax commissioner See TAX, Page 6

The Atlanta Voice

mortgage foreclosures Words of Caution Neither the Daily Report nor The Atlanta Voice is responsible for any errors or omissions in the FCDR Consumer Alerts listings. The information is neither official nor complete, but merely an abstract of the first-run public notices appearing in the Daily Report. For the complete and official public notice, consult the printed Daily Report. Information in the official notices comes directly from the advertisers with no independent verification.

These listings do not include any subsequent cancellations or subsequent corrections advertisers may have made to their notices.

Just because a property is advertised for foreclosure does not necessarily mean it is in foreclosure or that the owner is in arrears. Some notices result from misunderstandings. Oftentimes matters are worked out (or halted) well in advance of the auction date but after the notice has been submitted for publication. Just because a property isn’t listed here doesn’t mean it’s not in foreclosure. Again, these listings are by no means the official notice.

The person listed as owner may not necessarily be the present title holder.

Indeed, your property may well be listed under the name of a prior owner.

Mortgage value information merely reflects the amount of the original loan amount as listed in the foreclosure notice, not the balance due and not the value of the property.

Neither the Daily Report nor The Atlanta Voice is responsible for any investment decisions based on this information. Neither do they make any representations regarding title or the existence of any liens or encumbrances. Readers of this report should do their own research and consult a real estate, legal or investment professional.

MORTGAGE, from page 1 • Neighbors: Know What’s Going On Use these listings to stay informed about your neighborhood. By law, and for important reasons of public policy, foreclosure notices are for the public. They can tell you whether you have a neighbor in need. They can help answer questions you might have about abandoned or poorly maintained property near you. They can give you insight into property values in your neighborhood.

Indeed, a foreclosure taking place in your neighborhood can affect your own property values.

• Homebuyers, Investors: Find a Bargain Foreclosure notices provide valuable

leads to prospective homebuyers and real estate investors. Houses facing foreclosure often go for bargain prices. These listings, organized by zip code and street address, can help you spot those potential bargains.

The summary information, of course, is just a starting point—a lead to initiate your own research. In addition to bidding for a house on the courthouse steps, there are ways to buy the property in advance of foreclosure by dealing directly with the lender’s attorney or the property owner, both generally listed below. But be warned: Buying a house facing foreclosure is not for the faint of heart.

In general, you must buy the property as is, without an opportunity for inspection. You have to pay with cash or certified check. And

all sales are final. To say the least, make sure you do your homework, do a complete title search, consult with a professional and, above all else, think twice.

• Lenders: Protect Your Interests Many properties are subject to more than one loan, such as a home equity loan or second mortgage. If the lender holding the first mortgage sells the property off at foreclosure, the rights of the secondary lenders may be wiped out. If you have lent someone money against his or her property, or if you hold a lien, these listings provide you with an alert—in addition to the official notice published in full in the Daily Report—so that you can take action to protect your interests.

tax foreclosures TAX, from page 1 can sell the real estate to raise the amount due in back taxes. It’s an awesome power, and it takes the form of a lien.

Think of a lien as a parking boot the county clamps on your property. As with that more physical form of restraint, a lien against your property can stop you cold. It can interfere with your ability to transfer the property or even to borrow against it.

If you do manage to sell the property, the lien sticks to it, interfering with the next owner’s title.

By law, the county tax commissioner automatically gains a lien against property the first day property taxes come due, Jan. 1 of each year. Once the owner pays the taxes, the lien dissolves.

When the property taxes become past due, the tax collector can proceed in one of two ways-Non-Judicial Tax Sale, which doesn’t involve going to court, and Judicial Tax Sale, which must. Both types of proceedings rely upon the sheriff to conduct the sale. Each has its own purpose and its own advantages to the tax collector. More important to the homeowner, each has its own set of procedures and its own types of public notice.

Non-Judicial Tax Sale Non-judicial tax sale is the most common route for the tax commissioner to take. After the payment deadline passes, and after providing the owner with written notice, the tax commissioner turns the matter over to the sheriff by issuing what’s called a tax fi. fa. or writ of execution.

Fi. fa. is the abbreviation of a Latin term meaning “cause it to be done,” and the writ, in this case, formally commands the sheriff to sell the property at auction to the highest bidder. The sheriff has no choice in the matter. The ensuing process is known as sheriff’s levy and sale.

As a first step, the sheriff must send out written notice and also publish a Notice of Sheriff’s Sale in the Daily Report. Those notices, grouped under the heading NonJudicial Tax Sales, are generally the first form of notice to hit the Daily Report and therefore usually represent the first alert appearing in the listings below.

If you see a property in which you have an interest listed as the subject of a Non-Judicial Tax Sale, you need to contact the sheriff’s office and the county tax authorities.

If the notice lists a private investor, that means the county has transferred the tax lien on your property (explained below), and you should contact that party.

After meeting the law’s notification requirements, the sheriff auctions the property to the highest bidder on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta at 136 Pryor St. S.W., the first Tuesday of the month. The money raised goes toward the back taxes, and the bidder now takes ownership to the property.

The original homeowner still has a way to get the house back (explained below, under Redemption), but it’s now a matter between old owner and new; the county is out of the picture.

The Legacy of Lien Transfers Until May 2002, Georgia law let the county turn matters over to the private sector even sooner. Instead of pursuing the non-judicial sale procedures itself, the county could sell off its tax liens to private investors. The investors paid off the back taxes and then handled the rest, including having the sheriff conduct a non-judicial sale. Although the Georgia Legislature halted the practice during its 2002 session, enough transferred liens remain outstanding that homeowners need to know about them.

For one thing, a transferred tax lien can lie dormant for a few years and thus catch the homeowner unawares when the private investor finally decides to execute on it. That’s because the purchaser of a tax lien does not have to demand a sheriff’s sale of the property right away. Some transferees hold on to the lien without taking any action for a couple of years, thus allowing the interest and penalties—the value of their investment—to grow. As the penalties compound, it becomes harder and harder to get one’s property out of hock.

Redemption: Rescuing Your Property Once the property is sold on the courthouse steps, the former owner still has the chance to rescue the property through a process called redemption. To regain good title to the property, the homeowner must reimburse the purchaser the amount paid at auction, plus penalties, interest and, sometimes, costs.

An owner has the opportunity to redeem as a matter of right for 12 months following the sale. But the window to redeem actually may stay open longer, depending on when the tax-sale purchaser takes action to cut off the owner’s right of redemption.

That action is technically known as foreclosing the right to redeem. The term “barment” has also come into parlance to describe the procedure for cutting off the owner’s right to redeem. By whatever

name, it has the effect of giving the taxsale purchaser title to the land (subject to other possible liens).

Twelve months after the sale, the purchaser can send out notice to the homeowner giving the person a deadline to pay up and reclaim the property or lose all rights to it. The tax-sale purchaser gives notice by mail and also by publishing in the Daily Report a Notice to Foreclose the Right of Redemption, a form of public notice we group under the heading Redemption Rights Deadline.

If your property appears in the listings below as subject to a Redemption Rights Deadline, you can rescue the property by contacting the purchaser and tendering the full redemption amount before the announced cutoff date.

Judicial Tax Sale The second and less common means of property tax collection is judicial tax foreclosure sale. When the tax authorities take that route, they have to wait a little longer to act, and they have to go to court, but it’s ultimately a more decisive process. In general, the county avails itself of this process as a way to put abandoned and blighted property in better hands.

Twelve months after the property taxes first become due on Jan. 1, the tax collector can file a petition in Fulton County Superior Court to conduct a foreclosure sale on the property in arrears.

Note, the legal action is filed not against an individual, such as the owner of record, but against the land itself, a procedure in law known as an action “in rem.”

The first published notice announces a hearing in Superior Court on whether a tax foreclosure sale should be permitted. Notice to the property owner of the county’s intent to foreclose on the land includes mailed notice and the publication of a Notice of Judicial In Rem Hearing, grouped in the Daily Report under the heading Judicial Tax Hearing.

If you see your property listed below as subject to a Judicial Tax Hearing, you need to contact the county tax commissioner and attend the scheduled hearing in Superior Court, but consult a lawyer.

Once satisfied that the tax collector has met the law’s notice and other procedural requirements, a judge issues an order allowing a foreclosure sale of the property.

With that order in hand, the tax collector then must publish in the Daily Report a Notice of Judicial In Rem Foreclosure Sale, which we’ve organized under the heading Judicial Tax Sale.

If you see your property listed below as subject to an impending Judicial Tax Sale, you need to contact the tax commissioner’s office and make arrangements to settle your tax delinquency and stop the sale.

The property owner has the right to redeem the property up to the moment of sale, which generally takes place the first Tuesday of the month following the published notice.

The law gives the owner one last chance at redemption. For 60 days after the sale, the owner can pay the redemption amount, which now includes not just the back taxes and penalties but also the amount paid for the property at auction. If the owner misses that opportunity, then title to the property passes to the purchaser at auction.

Quiet Title Title to property bought at tax foreclosure sales, particularly non-judicial sales, is generally considered clouded. That can cause complications when the new owner decides to sell or finance the property. To fix that, most purchasers undertake Quiet Title proceedings, seeking a declaration that they own the real estate free and clear. The process involves filing a petition with the Superior Court, mailing out notice, and publishing a Notice to Quiet Title in the Daily Report.

If you see your property listed as subject to Quiet Title proceedings, you may be able to file pleadings in Superior Court to intervene. Consult a lawyer.

Sources and Resources Suffice it to say, it’s a complicated sequence of events, and one that rapidly gets more expensive and harder to control as time passes.

eorgia ranks in the top five nationally for people living with HIV, according to the Satcher Health Leadership Institute (SHLI).

In response to the immediate need for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention efforts in the Black community, SHLI and Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) announced the launch of a campaign specifically tailored to reach the Black community in Georgia called “Georgia Thrives”.

Georgia Thrives aims to address the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on Black/ African American people in this state.

One in 51 people in Atlanta may be infected with HIV/AIDS at any given time, according to the SHLI Health Equity Tracker. In Georgia, the number of Black males living with HIV is 6.1 times that of White males. In Georgia, the rate of Black females living with an HIV diagnosis is 11.7 times that of White females.

Dr. Maisha Standifer, Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine director of population health, said the initiative is very important and timely.

“This initiative is one we hold near and dear in our hearts, not just in our community, but with black women as well and in general, to talk about health equity in marginalized populations,” she said. “This particular initiative is funded by Gilead Sciences and is called Ending the Epidemic, Examining the health equity implications of health systems policy and data gaps for people living with HIV, particularly focused on the southern U.S.,” she said.

The importance of the initiative, she said, is because the South has the highest rate of new cases for HIV. Standifer also said while she was presenting data to others, many people asked and was shocked HIV/AIDS were still an issue.

Additionally, Standifer said the importance is also increasing access to education and the utilization of culturally competent and tailored messaging.

“No, it’s no longer the issue that it was 40-plus years ago when it was considered a death sentence, but now we know people are thriving and surviving with HIV,” she said. “When we talk about new cases, what does that mean when black men have the highest rates of cases primarily in Atlanta?

Also, knowing black women are the second

At The Atlanta Voice we are telling the stories of the community. Our voices matter. Our community matters.

Facts matter. Producing journalism that impacts our readers is what we do best and have done for the past 55 years, and in order to keep doing that at this level we need all the financial assistance we can get.

Standifer said they want people to gain insight on the disruption of healthcare and focusing on rural health.

“We are looking at educating and providing more culturally competent and tailored toolkits and educational resources for clinicians to be able to directly provide the services that are needed to be able to talk and to be able to guide those who are HIV possible or even HIV diagnosed. We’re working with communities and community-based organizations in rural areas in Georgia and not just the metropolitan Atlanta area,” she said.

All in all, Standifer said they are excited to

focus on the Georgia Thrives initiative and will also be focusing on HBCUs. “We are co-sponsoring a system with the HIV summit that will occur next spring.

We really want to connect and start talking about it within the black community. We’re also highlighting the religious component; we know we cannot be absent within the black community,” she said. “You cannot really talk about this without the religious community being absent. So, we have connected with our religious roundtable members and connected locally with ITC over in Atlanta University Center, and we are connecting throughout Louisiana with religious leaders that we know are vital, an important part of it.”

Standiford said they will be having discussions with stakeholders in Atlanta, pastors, and preachers about the umbrella of health equity.

“We’re talking about HIV the same way you're talking about transportation as being the issue. We're talking about housing, nutritional, and access. It's all related as we talk about social determinants of health,” she said. “You're not just talking about one aspect of why somebody is not able to gain access to a PREP or certain spaces that we know that often times is related to housing, related to transportation, related to education, related to insurance.”

Marc Nolan debuts pop-up shop in Ponce City Market

BY JANELLE WARD

M

en’s luxury shoe brand Marc Nolan hosted the grand opening of its temporary Atlanta storefront at Ponce City Market Thursday, Dec. 7, bringing together dozens of shoppers and supporters to mix, mingle and browse the available merchandise.

The Chicago-based business is slated to operate its new brick-and-mortar store as a pop-up shop for the next six months, occupying a space nestled between Nike and Scotch & Soda on the mall’s ground floor.

The Atlanta shop serves as Marc Nolan’s first physical store branching outside of the company’s Midwestern headquarters. The brand’s primary location is situated inside Chicago’s Fulton Market District.

“We are very excited to open a new retail location in Atlanta, our first outside our

hometown of Chicago,” said founder and CEO Sebastian Malczewski, about the expansion. “Atlanta has proven to be a very important market for the brand, the opportunity to expand our in-store presence here was one we just couldn’t pass up.”

Malczewski said that Atlanta proved to be a competitive market for the company, which inspired him to open the pop-up as the first step in Marc Nolan’s evolution from a predominately e-commerce venture into one that engages personally and directly with its consumers.

“This community has a beautiful soul, so people are just nice,” Malczewski said. “Besides (Atlanta) being a number-one or number-two market for us, I feel comfortable here.”

orator with Marc Nolan, introduced Malczewski to the city and Ponce City Market two years ago. Malczewski said he hopes business collaborations will continue with the debut of the Atlanta store, mentioning plans to specifically spotlight local artists, as the brand has done previously in other popular markets.

Marc Nolan was launched in 2018, carrying a selection of men’s boots, loafers, and sneakers designed for both formal and casual settings. The company solely operated online from the time of its launch until the opening of its flagship store in Chicago’s West Loop last fall.

Continuing with his plan to grow the com-

pany physically, Malczewski said he’s eying Dallas and Houston as future markets for expansion, as the brand prepares to release its first collection of women’s shoes early next year.

Regardless of the pop-up’s performance, Malczewski said he aims to make Atlanta a permanent home for Marc Nolan with hopes of using his platform to uplift smaller businesses and contributors to the city’s culture.

“I would love to come and support the community,” Malczewski said. “And if you feel comfortable, you want to do it. So, I’m here with Atlanta.”

The pop-up is open from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays and from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Sundays.

sulting in a safety and a two-point Tampa advantage.

There were a couple of opportunities to take the lead, but both ended in missed field goals of 50 and 52 yards by Falcons kicker extraordinaire Younghoe Koo. During the third quarter Tampa expanded its lead to 19-10 following a nine-play drive that ended in a 31-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield and running back Rachaad White. Early in the fourth quarter, the Falcons would score on a Bijan Robinson blitz (32-yard catch and run, and three-yard TD run) to pull within two points, 19-17.

The Falcons hold a slight advantage over the Saints because of their 24-15 victory over their rival on November 26. Atlanta will be in Carolina next Sunday, while New Orleans will host the New York Giants and Tampa Bay will travel to Green Bay. "It's frustrating losing like that," said Smith.

"That's the NFL. Unfortunately, they made one more play than we did."

Christmas Eve Atlanta will host the Indianapolis Colts (7-6 after loss to Cincinnati), another team working on a long sought-after playoff berth after a couple of seasons of mediocrity.

Before anyone starts talking about the playoffs there are a few games the Falcons will have to win to secure a playoff spot. Winning the NFC South will be the only way to do that though. On Sunday New Orleans defeated Carolina 28-6 to stay on pace with the Falcons and Buccaneers.

The game started with both Atlanta and Tampa exchanging scoring drives. The game would remain tied at 10 following a 36-yard touchdown connection from Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder (26 for 40 for 347 yards, a TD and an INT) and tight end Kyle Pitts (three catches for 57 yards and a TD).

The tie would be broken on a safety when Atlanta, with the ball on their own eight-yard line and 2:44 remaining in the half, managed to fumble in the end zone and recover it re-
