By Andy Peters, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT Commuters driving along I-285 for years have seen only a huge, empty field at the long-shuttered General Motors plant in Doraville. That may change soon. Plenty of ideas have been tossed around on how to use the property over the past decade — a new Atlanta Falcons stadium at one point, or a bigger version of Atlantic Station, among others.

BY TRILBY BERESFORD | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT The co-founder talks with The Hollywood Reporter about shifting priorities in the pandemic, an ongoing partnership with Electronic Arts and the challenge of making Parsec a tool that can be employed by different industries. Among the video game and media industries, Parsec became a known word during the height of the coronavirus pandemic when remote access to games became crucial.

Caribbean Tourism Organization Expresses Optimism Regarding Travel This Summer and Beyond

Travel, ,
CLAUDETTE COVEY | TravelPulse.Com Troy Warren for CNT   The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) said it is “guardedly optimistic” about an upswing in visitor numbers this summer and beyond. “With the 2021 summer season underway, there is increasing evidence in the marketplace that pent-up demand is roaring back much earlier and at a much quicker pace than forecasters had predicted,” the CTO said. “Although on the surface, a 60 percent decline in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the same period last year, may not seem encouraging, a closer examination would suggest that the Caribbean is beginning to reverse the slide…

Taco Bell Currently Dealing With Shortages of Ingredients, Hot Sauce, Even Napkins

Foodie, ,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT The fast food brand is the latest to warn customers to expect supply chain issues. "Temporary shortages" have become two of the buzzwords (or one of the buzz phrases) of the past year, especially when it comes to fast food restaurants. Some Burger Kings in Michigan had to deal with a pickle shortage that delayed the debut of its chicken sandwich, Starbucks has been intermittently out of ingredients ranging from oat milk to fresh fruit, and even ketchup packets were once hard to come by. The latest chain to enter the "Uh-Oh, We're Out of That" club is Taco Bell.…

Phoenix: ‘A true watchdog reporter’: Lois Boyles, longtime Phoenix Gazette journalist, dies at 93

City News, ,
Amaris Encinas | Arizona Republic Troy Warren for CNT   The only thing Lois Boyles loved more than chasing a news story was her family. After all, she did raise three kids all on her own: Vance, Bill and Marja. Even while on deadline, the longtime Phoenix Gazette reporter and editor always made time to do last-minute debate prep with her son, give advice to her daughter about the best way to run the high school newspaper, or clean up ketchup her son put on their garage floor to mimic blood in hopes of charging visitors 25 cents to look at their house…
