Like many of you, I woke up Sunday morning in my feelings. I wasn’t sure whether it was grief, depression, the time change or a chemical imbalance from too much Halloween candy. Then it hit me: Less than 12 hours earlier, the Atlanta Dream lost their Game 7 WNBA Finals matchup, 68-63. I started thinking about those moments no one can take away from us. The ones that feel like they can only happen here. For that month, just like the FIFA World Cup this summer, nothing else mattered to locals but time spent together rooting for a common interest. I know some of us went to sleep Saturday night sad, mad, happy or indifferent. When we woke up, one thing was still true. Win or lose, the Dream is real.

Walk into Larry “Nuface” Compton’s archive and every item has a story — not just about artists, but about Atlanta itself. For the past four decades, Nuface has documented the city’s hip-hop culture as it grew from a regional scene into a global force. Sometimes he’s in the background. Sometimes he’s front and center. Often, he’s the only one preserving the moment at all. This is the story of how one lifelong fan became a living archive and why that history still matters.

Buck Godfrey coached 229 wins and a state title at Southwest DeKalb, building the program into a Georgia football institution. Players who came through his door left as principals, lawyers and businessmen, still calling him Coach decades later. But to his nephew, AJC senior reporter Gavin Godfrey, he was something else entirely: Uncle Buck. A poetry mentor. A birdwatching partner. The man who checked in with a text every single day after Gavin lost his father in 2024, making sure he knew he wasn't grieving alone. William "Buck" Godfrey died Saturday at 83. Gavin's tribute to the coach, scholar and family man who helped shape him can be found at the link in bio. 🖋️ : Gavin Godfrey 📸 : Jason Getz, Hyosub Shin, Gavin Godfrey / AJC; Renee' Hannans Henry, Josh D.

Happy Halloween! UATL senior reporter Gavin Godfrey has been obsessed with werewolves since childhood. But for him, it’s always been about more than scary movies. In this episode of “Let Me Put U On,” Gavin shares how a childhood fascination became a lifelong passion and a source of creative inspiration. Full story at the link in bio.

A 1974 horror film starring Calvin Lockhart gets a bold description from @writegavinwrite: “the Blackest werewolf movie ever made.” In this week’s episode of “Let Me Put U On,” he revisits “The Beast Must Die” and his lifelong fascination with lycanthropes. #LetMePutUOn #UATL #halloween #werewolves Video by Gavin Godfrey, Ronald R.

Hearing “ATL Hoe” chanted at Game 3 reminded us how much Atlanta history we take for granted. My guy Gavin Godfrey got in his bag and made sure the story behind the sports anthem was documented. Read it at UATL.com #atlantadream 24 Oct 2026

With just over six minutes left in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, Rhyne Howard stepped to the free throw line. As she prepared for her second shot, a familiar chant erupted throughout State Farm Arena, drowning out NBC’s broadcasters. Baby D and Pastor Troy teamed up with the late Archie Eversole, whose track “We Ready” was getting some regional buzz, and Lil Jon. DJ Montay handled production. Pastor Troy first used the phrase a year earlier on his single “This tha City.” Back then, Atlanta rappers were still fighting to be heard and demanding respect. Baby D and Pastor Troy see something familiar in the Dream, a team that entered the Finals as underdogs with something to prove. UATL senior reporter Gavin Godfrey spoke with both artists and Atlanta Dream in-game emcee Bria Janelle about the song’s origins, its place in Atlanta hip-hop history and how it became a rallying cry across Atlanta sports. Get the full story behind the chant at the link in @itsuatl’s bio.

This Sunday, Mercedes-Benz Stadium will look and sound like the Georgia Dome in 1996. Ahead of the Falcons’ home game against the San Francisco 49ers, the team and Outkast announced their 30th Anniversary ATLiens Collection. The seven-item release draws inspiration from the legendary album’s artwork, with highlights including a jersey, letterman jacket and hoodies. Sunday’s game will also feature an “ATLiens” theme, with the Falcons wearing black jerseys and helmets featuring their original logo. Big Boi will headline the halftime festivities. The Falcons and Outkast’s first collaboration, released two years ago, sold out three times. Read Gavin Godfrey’s full story at the link in bio for more on the collection, the game-day celebration and the Atlanta creatives behind it. Photos courtesy of Brandon Magnus 22 Oct 2026

In 2013, the Atlanta Dream were forced to move Game 3 of the WNBA Finals from downtown Atlanta to Duluth after "Disney on Ice" took priority at Philips Arena. Thirteen years later, questions about where the Dream would play their Finals home games brought renewed frustration among fans. This time, however, Games 3 and 4 will be played at State Farm Arena on Oct. 21 and 24. @writegavinwrite spoke with a longtime fan, former player and coach about what happened in 2013 and what the Dream's return to the Finals means to them.

“I had convinced myself that attending a PWI would prepare me for the ‘real world.’” Gavin Godfrey’s decision became more complicated once he got to Syracuse University. Racist encounters made him question his choice. But Syracuse was also where he found the people who became his “chosen family” and a student newsroom that became his “happy place.” “Even then, I gravitated toward Black stories,” he writes. The summer before his senior year brought another turning point. Gavin studied Black culture through Syracuse’s Paris Noir program and researched how journalism documented rap’s rise in Paris. After his presentation, professor Janis Mayes described his approach to exploring Black music’s influence in France as “thoroughly journalistic.” “It was validation,” he writes. Whatever came next, Gavin knew “telling Black stories — past, present, future — would follow me.” And it did. “I’m still researching, reporting and writing about people who look like me,” writes Gavin, lead reporter of the AJC’s “Atlanta: America’s Black Mecca?” series. Gavin’s full essay on finding his people, his passion for telling Black stories and, eventually, home, is at the link in bio. 🖋️ : Gavin Godfrey / AJC 📸 : Courtesy of Gavin Godfrey | AP 23 Sep 2026
