🤝 New Era Begins: Tucker Welcomes Mayor Anne Lerner

Tucker has a new mayor! Anne Lerner was sworn in this past Sunday at a packed City Hall ceremony. Judge Stephen Nicholas led the oath of office next to a special piece of history—a desk that belonged to Tucker's very first postmaster back in 1892.

Lerner wasn't the only one sworn in that day: Council members Roger Orlando, Cara Schroeder, and Alexis Weaver all returned for another term, ready to continue their work for the community.

In her first remarks as mayor, Lerner paid tribute to outgoing Mayor Frank Auman and his family, recognizing their dedication to Tucker. She emphasized that leadership isn't a solo act—it's about teamwork, listening to different voices, and keeping the community's best interests front and center.

The ceremony drew quite a crowd, including officials from neighboring cities and DeKalb County. Stone Mountain's new Mayor Jelani Linder and DeKalb County Commissioner Robert Patrick were among those celebrating the transition.

Lerner's message was clear: Tucker's strength comes from people working together, even when they don't see eye to eye. With the gavel now passed, the city moves forward with fresh leadership building on the foundation already laid.

🎨 Tucker Gets a Colorful New Art Space With Heart

Tucker is about to get something special! Angelica Bakhsh is opening Mama Debbie's Art Emporium later this month, and it's not your typical gallery. Named after her late mother, this place is all about creating a safe haven for artists and community members who've ever felt like outsiders.

Bakhsh's mom was an activist who welcomed all the kids who didn't quite fit in—the creative ones, the queer kids, anyone whose family didn't get them. Growing up in South Georgia, Bakhsh saw how her mom's home became a refuge, and that's exactly what she wants to recreate in Tucker.

She's teaming up with her high school best friend Clay Morey to transform the old Treasures on the Railroad building into a 7,500-square-foot creative hub. They've spent months renovating the historic mill, and the community is already rallying behind them. Their Kickstarter campaign blew past its $10,000 goal, raising over $11,000 to build a classroom space.

So what's inside? The front will have free coffee, two gallery spaces, and retail featuring up to 30 local artists. There's also a "co-arting" area where creatives can rent workspace or booths. The classroom will offer everything from woodworking to sewing, with all the tools provided. Even Scraplanta is excited to partner up for workshops.

The vibe is pure Mama Debbie—peacocks, tiger wallpaper, and bold colors everywhere. Bakhsh is intentional about who she welcomes: artists under 21 don't pay rent, booth fees start at just $50 a month, and she's crystal clear about her values around inclusivity and social justice.

Mama Debbie's Art Emporium is at 4290 Railroad Ave. No official opening date yet, but you can stop by to check out the space (and maybe pet a paper tiger).
