ATLANTA, GA — Atlanta Public Schools will remain closed for a second day on Thursday, with frozen roadways and bitterly cold conditions in the metro area expected to last at least another 24 hours.
On its website, the school system said the decision was made in conjunction with Gov. Nathan Deal’s decision to close state offices for a second day as well.
APS Superintendent Meria Carstarphen announced the decision on Twitter, saying extreme cold temperatures and icy road conditions are expected to persist and that holding school would not be safe for staff, students or school buses in the metro area.
Wednesday morning, the Atlanta Police Department said it had worked 93 traffic accidents since midnight — seven of the with injuries. Deal had issued a state of emergency late Tuesday for 83 counties, spanning much of north and central Georgia, urging Georgians to stay off of roads that iced up in freezing temperatures overnight.

Most areas of north and west Georgia received up to an inch of snow Tuesday afternoon and overnight, according to the National Weather Service. Shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday, the temperature in Atlanta was still a frigid 18 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Rendering of Edgewood Court redevelopment
A partnership between Jonathan Rose Cos. and Columbia Residential has purchased a 204-unit apartment community in the Edgewood neighborhood of Atlanta. Edgewood Court Apartments is fully affordable, with all units designated for people at or below 60 percent area median income.
Jonathan Rose partnered with Columbia Residential as a co-owner, co-developer and long-term property manager. The two companies have an $18 million capital budget for the redevelopment of Edgewood Court. Financing will be provided by Georgia Department of Community Affairs through an allocation of 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and tax-exempt bonds issued by Invest Atlanta. The property was constructed in 1950 and received renovations in 1981. All of its units are part of the federal HUD Section 8 program. The federal contract will be renewed for 20 years.
“At a crucial moment when Atlanta and the rest of the country is facing an affordable housing crisis, it’s more important than ever to create and preserve quality and affordable communities for an undeserved population. We’re committed to delivering sustainable, state-of-the-art housing and accessible community services that will enhance lives and serve families for years to come,” said Jim Grauley, co-founder & partner at Columbia Residential, in a prepared statement.
Upcoming features
Edgewood Court currently comprises 62 one-bedroom, 119 two-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom units.
The new owners’ renovation plan focuses on energy conservation and sustainability measures certified by Enterprise Green Communities. Upgrades will include:
18 additional ADA-accessible units New amenities like a fitness center, computer lab, community garden and a playground. Repaved roads and walkways New roof and gutters
Construction will begin in the first quarter of 2018 and is slated for completion in early 2019.
Located at 1572 Hardee St., Edgewood Court is near multiple recreational destinations, such as parks and a soccer field. There are also nearby bus stations and a subway station can be reached in about 20 minutes. The intersection of Moreland Avenue and Caroline Street presents multiple shopping and dining destinations, less than a mile away, while downtown Atlanta can be reached in about 10 minutes.
“Edgewood Court represents a terrific opportunity to work with residents and local stakeholders to revitalize and preserve this community amidst a rapidly transforming neighborhood,” said Nathan Taft, managing director of acquisitions at Jonathan Rose Cos., in a prepared statement. “We are pleased to work with Columbia to further our mission in Atlanta and to have received the support of Invest Atlanta and Georgia DCA to purchase and transform the property into a community of opportunity.”

Plus, Tom Brady has a chance to attack the Buffalo D, how the Cowboys could tweak their approach for Russell Wilson, and a big test for the much-improved Ereck Flowers
1. The jury is still out on POAW (Philly’s Offense After Wentz); some of Nick Foles’s impressive numbers last week against the Giants were circumstantial. (Two examples: His TD to Trey Burton was on a blown coverage; the touchdown to Nelson Agholor was a great catch on a poor underthrow.) At times, Foles’s field vision and timing looked rusty. That can be corrected with more reps—and the fact that Foles showed outstanding pocket poise (especially on Alshon Jeffery’s four-yard touchdown) suggests it will. The Raiders are a more creative defense under John Pagano, but still not a good one. Christmas night presents a great chance for Foles to find his rhythm.
2. Besides his health, another reason to shut down Aaron Rodgers is it gives the Packers two more games to evaluate Brett Hundley. Saturday night against Minnesota will be the first time Hundley has faced a team he’s played before. The Packers need to find out whether he can be their long-term backup QB.
3. Who will Falcons head coach Dan Quinn put on Saints star rookie running back Alvin Kamara in man coverage? Typically, Deion Jones covers running backs in Atlanta’s matchup calls. But Kamara is not your typical back. Saints tight ends Josh Hill and Michael Hoomanawanui are unathletic; don’t be surprised if Atlanta’s usual tight end matchup piece, safety Keanu Neal, takes Kamara.
4. He’s gone largely unnoticed because the Bears haven’t won, but Akiem Hicks has been as destructive as any defensive lineman in football this year. On Sunday he’ll battle Browns second-year right tackle Shon Coleman, who is long-armed and talented but still a work in progress.
5. The Jaguars and Rams had great success playing Cover 4 against the Seahawks the past two weeks. Cover 4 is a zone structure with man-to-man principles. Each safety and outside corner is responsible for one-fourth of the field, which balances the defense and helps keep eyes on the quarterback. It’s a great way to defend Russell Wilson and Seattle’s rudimentary route combinations. Don’t be surprised if the Cowboys, normally a Cover 2 team, play more Cover 4 on Sunday.
6. If Titans first-round rookie receiver Corey Davis is to have a fruitful career, he must style his game after Eagles wideout Alshon Jeffery. Like Jeffery, Davis is long and strong-handed, but he’s not twitchy or fast. His success will come from out-sizing defenders, not out-running them.
7. In Week 13 against Buffalo, the Patriots ran the ball on more than half their snaps, and they didn’t attack vertically downfield. That’s a little surprising given that the Bills are a zone-based defense with a mediocre pass rush. Tom Brady usually feasts on those. It’ll be interesting to see New England’s approach in Round 2, with the Bills coming to Foxboro on Sunday.
8. The Ravens are at their best offensively when Joe Flacco, who has been overly cautious for much of this season, is throwing downfield on first down against predictable defensive looks. Or, when tailback Alex Collins is getting around the edge in the ground game. This Saturday there’s an opportunity for both against a Colts defense that’s playing with mostly second-string defensive backs and one of the league’s most vulnerable linebackers, Antonio Morrison.
9. The Texans interior O-line saw a slew of designer pass rushes from the Jaguars last week. Backup right guard Greg Mancz and left guard Xavier Su’a-Filo (who starts but would be a backup on 30 other rosters) were attacked repeatedly with stunts. The Steelers are one of the league’s best blitzing defenses, but theirs tend to come off the edges, particularly with slot corner Mike Hilton, who has been tremendous in Year One. Especially given that Ryan Shazier, an explosive inside blitzer, is gone, Houston must be on high alert for edge pressure Christmas afternoon. On third downs, look for Bill O’Brien to go shotgun and flank T.J. Yates with running back Lamar Miller and fullback Jay Prosch, creating a seven-man protection.
10. Giants left tackle Ereck Flowers still plays with ugly technique, but this year he’s the most improved pass-blocker in football (he had more room to improve than most). Flowers started slowly and then struggled a bit against bull rushes in last week’s Eagles game, but he recovered in the second half to finish strong. Now he gets maybe his stiffest challenge: Arizona’s limber, technically savvy veteran Chandler Jones, who leads the league in tackles-for-loss (25) and sacks (15).

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons, who are in the thick of the NFC playoff race, don’t plan to look past Tampa Bay and quarterback Jameis Winston in a classic trap-game scenario.
"Focusing on the next team could be a little bit distracting," Falcons linebacker De’Vondre Campbell said. "We have to focus on (Tampa Bay) because every game at this point is a must-win."
The Falcons watched the Monday night game earlier this week. They were stunned by Miami’s victory over New England where the unstoppable Tom Brady failed to pick up one first down on third down.
The Falcons don’t want their trip to Florida to end up in a similar result.
"We just have to really go into Tampa with the mindset that we have to dominate," Campbell said. "We can’t go in there saying, ‘Oh, we are playing Tampa; they are 4-5’ or whatever their record is (4-9) and they are not playing well.
"This is the NFL. Everybody is good. If we go in there with the mindset that we are playing a lower-caliber team, that’s how teams get upset. That’s how they get beat. We just have to treat every game the same and approach it the same."
If the Falcons win their remaining games, they will repeat as NFC South division champs.
The Falcons (8-5) trail the New Orleans Saints (9-4) and Carolina Panthers (9-4) with three games to play.
The Falcons haven’t been dazzling for much of the season and are coming off a 20-17 win over the Saints. In that game, quarterback Matt Ryan was misfiring, there were some curious coaching decisions during the two-minute drill before halftime and a declined penalty late that could have backfired.
"All three phases have some things to work on," Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. "Some of it was even individually, player-wise, technique-wise, some scheme things. That’s what we’re chasing; our best performance, and we feel like that’s out there for us, so we’re going after that hard."
The Falcons beat the Bucs 34-20 on Nov. 26 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Bucs played without Winston, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury.
"We’re going into what could be a tough environment on Monday night," defensive end Adrian Clayborn said. "They are going to be ready. We already beat them once this season. If you get punched in the mouth once, what are you going to do? You’re going to fight back. So, they are going to be ready to fight and we better be ready to brawl with them."
Detroit needed a last-minute field goal last Sunday from Matt Prater to prevail 24-21, as the Bucs couldn’t overcome five turnovers. Winston had two interceptions and a fumble. Running back Doug Martin and tight end O.J. Howard also had fumbles.
"I saw that game, and just seeing the different examples of finishing, two-minute (drills), and end of games that come up, so we always check those around the league," Quinn said. "Yeah, I had a chance to get a whole game in TV-wise from them. It kind of showed, I thought, the resiliency of their team. After that many turnovers, having a chance to go battle for it at the end, that shows the toughness of their group."

If you live in any of the cities along the outskirts of Atlanta, you likely have access to their local news. Even as far down as Macon nearly 100 miles to the south, tuning in to the evening broadcasts of Atlanta stations can easily be a part of your daily routine. Atlanta newspapers are also in circulation throughout the entire state. So naturally, this allows for a lot of different preconceived notions about the city from the perspective of its surrounding outsiders.
One of the leading assumptions of the city from GA’s other residents lies within its safety – or a lack thereof! The news tends to sensationalize the juiciest stories that will keep people watching or reading, and unfortunately that often equates to the most dire events of the day. Local outlets are just as guilty as those that focus on national and international events. As a business, it’s in their best interest to focus on whatever will draw in the most attention. Sadly, it seems negativity is often like a magnet to the masses.
As such, all of the most tragic stories from Atlanta are often the only ones that other residents of the state ever hear about. It’s understandable that a negative view of the city would be formed as a result, but it’s hardly fair. Every locale has its share of horror stories, but ignoring all of the positives in favor of those is ultimately shortsighted.
For many, Atlanta is a city they absolutely love and cherish. It has been the home of great progress in many mediums, from societal to technological and so on, and it even has a booming art scene and plenty to do on the evenings and weekends. Before assuming the worst, perhaps give it a shot firsthand sometime!

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (4-6) AT ATLANTA FALCONS (6-4)
KICKOFF: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Mercedes-Benz Stadium. TV: Fox, Dick Stockton, Mark Schlereth, Shannon Spake (field reporter).
SERIES HISTORY: 48th regular-season meeting. Bucs lead series, 24-23, having won three of the past four games. Since the NFC South was formed in 2002, Atlanta has a 15-14 edge.
KEYS TO THE GAME: Last week against Miami, Tampa Bay gave up pass pays of 61, 49 and 45 yards. The Buccaneers’ defense cannot afford to surrender that kind of yardage to the high-powered Falcons offense.
With running back Devonta Freeman still in the concussion protocol and likely to miss another game, the Falcons must continue to target wide receiver Julio Jones. If Atlanta stretches the field, running back Tevin Coleman could find more open lanes.
Jones was targeted 30 times in the past three weeks — catching 17 passes for 246 yards — but Atlanta’s leading receiver hasn’t caught a touchdown pass since Oct. 22 against New England.
The Falcons have played their way back into the crowded NFC playoff picture, but with games against the 8-2 Vikings and 8-2 Saints coming up, this one is critical if they’re going to stay there.
Committing to getting the ball to wide receiver Mike Evans helped the Buccaneers last week.
Coming off a one-catch, 13-yard performance, Evans caught five for 92 in Tampa Bay’s 30-20 win in Miami.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was 22-for-37 for 275 yards and two touchdowns last week, will benefit from a second week of practice with the first team, in place of Jameis Winston, who has been ruled out with a shoulder injury.
–Falcons WR Julio Jones vs. Bucs CB Brent Grimes. Grimes has two interceptions. He’s quick to diagnose the play and tries to make plays on the ball. Jones has just one touchdown reception this season, but he leads the Falcons in receptions (54) and yards (786).
–Bucs WR Mike Evans vs. Falcons CB Desmond Trufant. Evans leads the Bucs in receptions (45) and yards (624) and has four touchdowns. He caught five passes for 92 yards last week against Miami after serving his one-game suspension for shoving Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Trufant returned a Russell Wilson interception 43 yards against the Seahawks. The Falcons are playing more man-to-man defense, but the Bucs are not expecting Trufant to match up with Evans.
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: Falcons RB Terron Ward. The Falcons are preparing as if they will be without running back Devonta Freeman for a second consecutive game. He’s in the league’s concussion protocol and missed the Seattle game. Running backs Tevin Coleman and Terron Ward filled in against the Seahawks. Coleman rushed 20 times for 43 yards, while Ward had 31 yards on six carries. Look for Ward to get some more of the work against the Bucs.
FAST FACTS: Tampa Bay QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has won his past two starts. He passed for 275 yards and two touchdowns last week. He has seven touchdowns vs. three interceptions in his past four games. … RB Doug Martin has 196 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown in his past two games vs. Atlanta. In four career games at Atlanta, he has 388 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown. … WR Mike Evans has 483 receiving yards (96.6 per game) and five touchdowns in his past five games against the Falcons. He has six touchdowns in his past eight games within the NFC South. … Rookie TE O.J. Howard has three touchdowns in his past three road games. He ranks third among NFL rookies with four receiving touchdowns. … TE Cameron Brate had touchdown catch in the last meeting between the teams. Since 2016, he ranks second among NFL TEs with 12 touchdown catches. … DT Gerald McCoy had a sack last week. He has five sacks and a forced fumble in his past five games against Atlanta. … LB Lavonte David has four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in his past six games. Since 2013, he is the only NFL player with 700 tackles (720) and 15 forced fumbles (16). … LB Kwon Alexander led the Bucs with eight tackles and had an interception in Week 11. He has two sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in four career games vs. Atlanta. … CB Brent Grimes had 13 interceptions and in six seasons with the Falcons. (2007-12). … Atlanta QB Matt Ryan has 14 touchdowns vs. one interception in his past seven home games against Tampa Bay. He aims for his third straight 300-yard game against the Bucs. He has thrown touchdown passes in 28 consecutive games, the longest active streak. Since 2016, he is tied for the NFL lead with 53 touchdown passes and ranks third with 7,511 yards. … RB Tevin Coleman aims for his fourth game in a row with a touchdown. He had 117 yards from scrimmage (95 receiving) in his last home game vs. Tampa Bay. … WR Julio Jones ranks second in the NFC with 786 receiving yards. He has 521 yards (104.2 per game) and six touchdowns in five career home games against the Buccaneers. … WR Mohamed Sanu has a touchdown catch in three of his past four games. He had 80 receiving yards and a touchdown in the last home meeting. … TE Austin Hooper had a touchdown catch in last meeting. … LB Vic Beasley Jr. has seven sacks and three forced fumbles in his past nine home games. … DT Grady Jarrett has two sacks in his past three games vs. Tampa Bay. … DE Adrian Clayborn returned a fumble 10 yards for a touchdown in Week 11, his second career touchdown. … CB Desmond Trufant has two interceptions in his past three games against the Bucs. He had an interception last week, too.
PREDICTION: The Falcons likely saved their season by beating Dallas and Seattle the past two weeks. And, while Matt Ryan has yet to return to his 2016 form, he should be able to outduel the Bucs’ Ryan Fitzpatrick.
OUR PICK: Falcons, 26-17.
