fire marshall closes the earl
Friday night I drove down to The Earl to catch Psyche Origami. When I arrived, several dozen people were standing outside on the sidewalk and no one was being allowed in. I assumed the show was sold out, but upon inquiring, I discovered the Fire Marshall had cleared everyone out of the venue. Apparently the owners of The Earl donated to the wrong mayoral campaign and now the powers that be are exacting revenge. Alternately, the neighborhood association may be behind this, as there has been a long running disagreement over the nature of the mural on the side of The Earl. Additional conspiracy theories are welcomed via the comments link. I do not recommend the City of Atlanta.

I imagine the same bastards are behind it that started charging $5 to park on weekend nights in the lot next to the antique furniture store on Flat Shoals. When I complained to all the surrounding businesses, they all claimed it was The Earl’s idea. When I complained at The Earl, they blamed it on the furniture store.
