By all accounts, Atlanta’s Fox Theatre shouldn’t be around anymore. The historic movie palace, which opened Christmas Day of 1929,  escaped financial ruin several times, dodged a date with a wrecking ball, and survived a potentially fatal fire. A new GPB documentary tells the theater’s incredible story. It’s called “The Legend Lives On: Atlanta’s Fox Theatre.” We talked more about that history with Allen Vella, the president and CEO of the Fox Theatre.

Then, some say a few of the millions of people who have passed through the Fox Theatre still remain. The theater hosts ghost tours each year, and we sent producer Sean Powers to learn about the spirits that refuse to leave...even after the curtain comes down. He brought back this audio postcard.

And the effort to make Atlanta a more bicycle friendly city has made some major strides this year. The city launched its own version of a bike share program, called Relay, this summer. We checked in with Atlanta's Chief Bicycle officer Becky Katz and Relay's Timberley Jones. We also heard from Alex Karner, a professor of city and regional planning at Georgia Tech.

Finally, we look back on the life of Civil Rights attorney Donald Hollowell, who represented Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and countless student groups in Georgia courts in the 1960s. His most famous case involved the desegregation of the University of Georgia. We talked about Hollowell's legacy with UGA dean Maurice Daniels, who wrote a book and produced a documentary about Hollowell.
