As one example, here's how Dallas-Ft. Worth's map could look.

C-SPAN gone wild. Love it. 🥳 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Black text on white background. A description of C-SPAN cameras in the capital showing things they normally don't because there's no Speaker elected yet, thus no party in charge to limit what cameras show.

Dropped by Manuel’s this afternoon to raise a glass in honor of Jimmy. Found these lovely memories on the wall.

Nothing like a printing press. This beaut fires up three times per week in Dublin, Georgia, home of the Dublin Courier Herald.

Another great weekend for live music in Atlanta: Clairo, Big Boi and Andy Summers.

A woman in a blue dress performs on a stage with a live band, which includes a guitarist, drummer, and other musicians. Behind them is a large, textured wooden backdrop with vertical slats, and above hangs a large circular light. The audience watches from a dimly lit area, with some people holding up phones to record the performance. The overall atmosphere is warm and intimate.

A man in dark clothing and a cap performs on an outdoor stage, holding a microphone. A large banner with yellow “GT” letters representing Georgia Tech hangs beside him. Security personnel and members of the crowd, some with phones raised, watch the performance. Trees with autumn-colored leaves are visible in the background.

A guitarist performs solo on stage, illuminated by red lighting. Behind him, a large screen displays an image of a dense cityscape with tall buildings, creating an urban backdrop. The setting is dark, emphasizing the performer and the cityscape projection.

When Amy Webb gives her annual keynote at SXSW, it’s standing-room only. I’m thrilled that she’s making a rare #Atlanta appearance for a special AJC Live. See you there! Tix and info: live.ajc.com/futureatlanta
