News & Notes is in Atlanta this week, and our series of special reports begins tomorrow and carries through Friday. (We've got a live townhall meeting scheduled for Wednesday ... more about that later.)

We just returned from City Hall, where Farai had a revealing one-on-one with Mayor Shirley Franklin. (You can check that out on the show tomorrow.) Then, we talked with local cab drivers — many of whom are African immigrants — about adjusting to life in the States.

Since we'll be on the road all week, we may not be able to post as consistently as we'd like, but don't let that stop the conversation. Feel free to post here or hit us up on our Facebook page.

Now off to Paschal's for some chicken, greens and sweet tea. In the meantime ...
