'The Battery looks like it’s been battered' | Braves fan helps clean up trash after World Series game
He arrived early enough to watch first pitch at 8:15 p.m. By 4:45 a.m., he was still around helping to pick up trash.


ATLANTA — It was a long night for Braves fans.

The crowd of the night turned into a mess in the morning. Trash littered The Battery.

After the stadium cleared out and The Battery closed up, one lone fan stuck around to show his love for the home team in a different way.

“I was thinking to myself The Battery looks like it’s been battered. I guess there were so many people here, they couldn’t get to a trash can, so they just left everything on the ground, and I just felt some kind of way about it,” said Khash Janpour.

Janpour came to The Battery for the same reason as everybody else – to watch the game.

First pitch was at 8:15 p.m. Sunday night. At 4:45 a.m. Monday, long after the game ended and the shops and restaurants closed, Janpour was still around helping pick up trash.

“There was only like four or five people here that were actually cleaning that I saw, and I was like they are definitely going to be overwhelmed,” he said. “I asked him, ‘Hey, bud. Looks like y’all got a lot of work to do.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, it’s going to be rough.’ I was like, ‘Let me help you out.’ He’s like, ‘No, you don’t have to do that.’ I said it would be my pleasure. Have another broom? He’s like ‘Seriously?’ I was like, ‘Definitely.’”

Off the top of my head: Marcel (prob my fav spot in ATL), Iberian Pig (Buckhead or Decatur, the Buckhead location is nicer tho), James Room (for a cool speakeasy vibe).

I rent but I stay in Smyrna, a gated apartment community with no crime for 1450 base rent, one bedroom. Granite countertops etc

I think at this point that’s the starting point for rent for a decent spot, unless you buy

Former owner of Gladys Knight’s Chicken and Waffles sentenced to prison

Former owner of Gladys Knight’s Chicken and Waffles sentenced to prison


ATLANTA — Georgia music legend Gladys Knight’s son was sentenced to two years in prison Friday for failing to submit payroll taxes when he owned “Gladys Knight’s Chicken and Waffles” restaurant.

Shanga Hankerson who owned the restaurants was convicted in July on charges that he had not submitted over $1 million in payroll taxes that he had owed the government while running the then successful restaurant chain.

“Hankerson willfully disregarded his tax obligations for many years,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Kurt Erskine. “Payroll taxes fund social insurance programs, including Social Security and Medicare, and are a large source of revenue for the federal government. Employers who fail to comply with their legal obligations will be held accountable.”

“While ownership of a well-known restaurant in our community has its perks, it also comes with great responsibility,” said IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge James Dorsey. “Paying taxes is a way to give back to the community, but unfortunately Hankerson chose to use those funds for other means. This sentencing emphasizes that all employers, big and small, have equal responsibility to collect, report, and pay over their payroll taxes.”


Channel 2 Action News reported that Georgia Department of Revenue agents raided the midtown restaurant in June 2016. The state said at the time that Hankerson owed them over $650,000 from the three Chicken and Waffles restaurants.

Knight had lent her name to her son’s restaurant but was not involved with any of the daily operations. A lawsuit forced Hankerson to remove her name shortly before the popular Chicken and Waffles shop closed for good in 2017.

Federal investigators said Hankerson had not been withholding Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes which cover Social Security and Medicare taxes along with federal income taxes.

They said because Hankerson was the sole owner of the restaurants he had the responsibility to collect those monies From at least 2012 through 2016, he did not collect them.

Hankerson was sentenced to two years in prison, one year of supervised release and he has to repay $1,039,310.65 which according to the Internal Revenue Service, was what he owed them.
