Atlanta has one more month and one more election to go before it chooses <strong>the city’s next mayor</strong>: <strong>Councilwoman Mary Norwood</strong> and <strong>former state Sen. Kasim Reed</strong> will face each other in a <strong>runoff Dec. 1</strong>.<!--more-->

President Obama arrived in Atlanta at approximately 10:40 am this morning. He is town for a fundraiser and will also be addressing a group of veterans.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed calls the mortgage crisis shocking and he is doing something about it, by endorsing what he calls, “non-stop help.”

On-duty police will be patrolling Piedmont Park for the remainder of this year's Screen on the Green features -- a first for the outdoor film series. More off-duty cops also will be hired as part of a new security plan unveiled Monday by city and park officials.

Kasim Reed became Atlanta's mayor today at a ceremony at the Atlanta Civic Center. Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Carol W. Hunstein conducted the swearing-in at the event that began with a song from the Howard University choir, Reed's alma mater.

Kasim Reed took office Monday as Atlanta's 59th mayor, vowing to help small business owners and young people and provide better customer service for citizens. "We cannot face our future if we are facing off with each other," Reed said.

The Atlanta City Council is expected to approve Monday a leasing agreement with EUE/Screen Gems, Ltd., a film and television production company which plans to transform a portion of Lakewood Fairgrounds into the area's first state-of-the-art studio complex.

The vote appeared to be a no-brainer for the Atlanta City Council: Approve a multi-million dollar, 50-year lease to rent out the Lakewood Fairgrounds to EUE/Screen Gems and move Atlanta a step closer to Hollywood.
