• Big Tigger Cleared As Georgia Prosecutors Drop Aggravated Battery Case (wbls.com) — Sandy Springs readers may note that local police first arrested radio and TV personality Big Tigger in June, but Fulton County prosecutors have now declined to pursue the aggravated battery case. He had already stepped away from his Atlanta morning show while addressing intense public scrutiny and related legal disputes involving his estranged wife and co-host. 
• Five Deals Now Account for 38% of All CRE CLO Distress. Here's Where the Properties Actually Are (realtytoday.com) — A major apartment complex in Sandy Springs, Grace Abernathy Apartments, is among several Sun Belt properties now in loan distress after 2021–22 financing bets on rapid rent growth fell short. The analysis explains how a handful of big commercial real estate CLO deals, including ones tied to metro Atlanta, now account for a large share of nationwide distress but don't yet signal a full market collapse.
