This is a sidequest. I'm a web developer who lives in Summerhill, and I got tired of checking a dozen different sites every morning to figure out what's going on in my own city. So I built something that does it for me.
Every day, this site pulls from 20 local news sources, figures out what actually matters to people who live Inside The Perimeter, and puts it all in one place. The whole thing runs on Astro and Netlify. It's an experiment in what happens when you point modern web tools at a local news problem.
The SE BeltLine corridor is home base: Summerhill, Grant Park, Reynoldstown, Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, East Atlanta Village, Kirkwood, Peoplestown, and the neighborhoods around them. That's where I live, that's what I care about most.
What this is
- A daily digest of hyperlocal Atlanta news, updated every morning
- A web dev experiment and sidequest, not a media company
- A way to stay plugged in without opening 20 tabs
- Free. No paywalls, no accounts, no tracking
What this isn't
- Original reporting. Every story links back to the source.
- A replacement for the reporters doing the actual work. Go subscribe to Decaturish and SaportaReport. They need your support.
- Perfect. Some stories will be off, some neighborhoods get more coverage than others. I'm working on it.
