DEL.ICIO.USMeet Maria Saporta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Maria Saporta, an intown Atlanta native, has been with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution since 1981; most of that time in business news. Saporta, got her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Boston University and her master’s degree in urban studies from Georgia State University. Saporta is fascinated with the pulse and special character of cities, her own and others. In her quest to figure out what makes Atlanta tick, she keeps coming back to business executives and their relationship with civic and government leaders. Saporta makes it her business to know the players and how they steer our region. And what makes Saporta tick? Her two children. Travel. Trains. Movies. Music. Cycling. Walking. Books. Newspapers. Pets. And people-watching.

Hi, I really enjoy reading your columns. I am great supporter of public transportation and use it each day to commute to work. Now, how do I bring attention to what I think is a poorly planned construction project recently completed by GDOT. The I-20/Panola Road bridge and exit ramps were recently widen. Pre-construction, the bridge had sidewalks on both sides. Post-construction - the bridge has sidewalks on just one side, this was done to add another turn lane. Now pedestrians have to cross 6 lanes of traffic to cross the bridge. This only benefits drivers and not pedestrians. This should be unacceptable. Thanks

Look for one major home builder to be leaving the Atlanta market very soon. They laid off a lot of people today.

Happy anniversary, it was 30 years ago this week that a young reporter in Macon interviewed the President of Lockheed-Georgia Company.
