Re-Branding Atlanta (#1903)

Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin recently won re-election in a landslide - like 90+% of the vote. After decades of corrupt, self-serving mayors raping the city and enriching themselves, Franklin has come in with a giant broom and started cleaning house. She faces some massive problems and hasn't made everyone happy in her first term, but apparently the good citizens of Atlanta are not so stupid as to throw her out.

This NPR interview with Franklin is about the her campaign to re-brand the city, and the hip-hop theme song that accompanies it. I admit to not being a hip-hop fan, and I don't much care for the song, but I'm not the audience. I applaud Franklin's work and the positive impact she's had on the city. If this campaign helps the city move forward I'm all for it.
