How's the economy? Local craigslist is showing many listings for individual office rentals, such as this one. As of 3Q '08, ads like this were rarely seen, if at all. Apparently, vacancies are up enough to make leasing/subleasing and "virtual offices" an attractive option. This search directly follows (1) a conversation I recently overheard between two people, one of whom is a recently unemployed professional of some kind; and (2) the near-complete lack of software employment ads in the area. This is the type of activity which will reset the economy, as firms and professionals start over, relatively free of overhead (other than that transferred to the national debt, by way of unemployment/welfare benefits). |

Those Madoff victims couldn't buy a break, even if they had any wealth remaining. Check out this brief [PDF] filed on behalf of various Madoff victims. Buried deep in this document (with names redacted, of course), on page 36 (of the PDF), is...a 419 scam. |

| [h/t ATLMalcontent] There's a new website, dedicated to investigative reporting in Atlanta (and presumably, the surrounding area). Atlanta Unfiltered is in play; I plan on keeping an eye on it. |
