Yes, another street collapse in the ATL... it seems obvious to me that we are under attack by the mole men. Clearly they are angry at the fact that the Braves got shuffled off to a new location in Cobb county, so they are exacting revenge on the citizens of the city, all while scapegoating the homeless and Wile E. Coyote in an effort to conceal their true intentions...
