Short story shorter<\/a>: person shot and killed outside of Atlanta-area Kroger, particularly already nicknamed \u201cMurder Kroger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Never mind the fact that President Obama is already trolling around in Atlanta, making the miserable traffic worse than it can already possibly be.\u00a0 I was musing my possible alternate routes home, given the fact that my usual plans A and B are likely going to be shot on account of the President\u2019s presence in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n So I thought of another alternative route, that would take me due east on Ponce, where I could then go due south on Moreland, until I got onto the interstate and make my way home, avoiding the Downtown Connector and airport in one fell swoop.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But then news broke of this unfortunate murder that occurred at, Murder Kroger.\u00a0 Which is right on Ponce, smack dab in the middle of my plan C route.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, there\u2019s no guarantee that a murder at Murder Kroger is going to suddenly plug up traffic in that direction too, but honestly, I\u2019d rather not find out, and now need to think of a plan D for me to get home.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the reason for writing is simply the irony of the whole situation of someone getting murdered at Murder Kroger.\u00a0 The TL:DR behind the name for those not in the know is that there have been two murders that have occurred in its parking lot since 1991.\u00a0 Well, now three.<\/span><\/p>\n And since the one prior to today\u2019s killing was \u201cso long ago\u201d in 2002, and the city\u2019s attempt to, to utilize the city\u2019s new favorite word here, \u201cgentrify\u201d that area, the city has been encouraging the use of \u201cBeltline Kroger\u201d in a weak attempt to phase out the more grisly nickname that preceded it.<\/span><\/p>\n Welp, that ain\u2019t happening anymore.\u00a0 People don\u2019t like being told what to do in the first place, and secondly, with a fresh new murder to more or less renew the property\u2019s vow on the nickname, it looks like Murder Kroger is here to stay, no matter how much of the surrounding area the city tries to clean up.<\/span><\/p>\n THANKS OBAMA.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Short story shorter: person shot and killed outside of Atlanta-area Kroger, particularly already nicknamed \u201cMurder Kroger.\u201d Never mind the fact that President Obama is already trolling around in Atlanta, making the miserable traffic worse than it can already possibly be.\u00a0 I was musing my possible alternate routes home, given the fact that my usual plans … Continue reading Never let anyone tell you what to do<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[112,15,143,10],"class_list":["post-40218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-crime","tag-og","tag-ohatlanta","tag-traffic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40218"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40218\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40220,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40218\/revisions\/40220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
