Thursday marked the first day of school for many school districts across metro Atlanta. The “Closer Look team” stopped by Atlanta Public Schools’ Hope-Hill Elementary School in the Old Fourth Ward Neighborhood as staff welcomed students on their first day.

Plus, we revisit our one-on-one conversation with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens about housing affordability and its challenges. In his discussion with Rose, Mayor Dickens makes some significant announcements about redevelopment for Atlanta, including The Mall West End. He also discusses his support for light rail on the Atlanta Beltline.
