We asked some of the absolute coolest folks in Atlanta — people like Tyler Chronicles, Jovita Moore and others — a few questions about this foul year of our lord, 2020. Today we’re starting with a big one: What moment from the past 12 months stood out the most?

“The way downtown Atlanta looked after the George Floyd riots. Marietta St was surreal. Then, juxtapose that with the way Euclid Ave/L5P felt the day after it was announced that Georgia had become a blue state. I was at Wish.
