Arrivals & Departures
Spring has sprung and there are lots of exciting changes and growth to tell you about
at Intown and our parent company, Springs Publishing.
First, I am thrilled — no, elated! — that veteran journalist Dyana Bagby has joined us
as a staff writer. Many of you will remember Dyana as editor of Georgia Voice, a writer
with our sister publication Reporter Newspapers, and, more recently, with the Atlanta
Business Chronicle.
Dyana will be writing features and covering Buckhead for both Intown and the
Reporter, and you can read her first piece
Editor’s Letter
Collin
Kelley
has been editor of
Atlanta Intown for
almost two decades.
He’s also an
award-winning poet
and novelist.
collin@AtlantalntownPaper.com
on the Georgia Film Academy on page 48.
-| Also joining us is another industry
veteran, Neal Maziar, who will be leading
Springs’ advertising sales efforts. Neal
is an Atlanta native who has deep roots
in the community and local media,
including WSB-AM/FM and Big League
Broadcasting.
There’s also the arrival of Tim
“TimmyDaddy” Sullivan’s newly
rebranded monthly column, “May I Be
Excused?” After more than a decade, it was time for a refresh, but Tim’s irreverent look at
parenting and community continues on page 15.
And if that’s not enough, your favorite newsletter, Rough Draft, is now five days a
week! Along with your morning fix on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, we’re now
producing Rough Draft PM on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Expect a mix of
headlines, entertainment, food, and nonprofit news you can use. Be sure to sign-up at
RoughDraftAtlanta. com.
And while I’m excited about our new arrivals, I want to acknowledge a few departures
to report as well.
Amy Arno, who was a co-founder of Reporter Newspapers, has left us to work in the
senior care industry. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the publications will be missed.
Also leaving us is Chad Radford, who has been the editor of Rough Draft for more
than a year. You’re likely to see Chad on the BeltLine or in a local park as he’s taken on a
new role with Trees Atlanta. Luckily, that will leave him enough time to write occasional
pieces for Intown.
The other big departure — and this one is more
personal — is my car. Yes, folks, I sold my car.
Now that I’m living in Midtown, it was
parked more than driven, and cutting out
my loan payment, insurance, gas(!), and
maintenance is saving me hundreds of
dollars a month.
I’m walking most everywhere I need
to go, and if there’s something more far
afield, I jump in a Lyft or on MARTA.
I’ve fully embraced city living, which is
something I’ve wanted to do forever. I’ve always
been jealous of New Yorkers and Londoners who
didn’t need a car, and now I’ve joined them.
And since I’m saving all that money, maybe I can add another
streaming service. I kid, I kid. Or not.
You might have noticed on the cover that this is our 16th annual Sustainability Issue
and we’ve got some great features on the Wylde Center, Food Well Alliance, and much
more. We’re also a sponsor of the Olmsted 200 celebration and Druid Hills Tour of
Homes, so be sure to see the special section starting on page 29.
This is our biggest issue of Intown since 2015, and I’m excited to share it with you!
