Atlanta Mayor Discourages Travel To City For NBA All-Star

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is asking fans "not to travel to the city for the NBA All-Star game March 7." Bottoms voiced concern over the event, saying in a statement, "Under normal circumstances, we would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to host the NBA All-Star game, but this is not a typical year. I have shared my concerns related to public health and safety with the NBA and Atlanta Hawks. ... People should not travel to Atlanta to party. There will be no NBA-sanctioned events open to the public and we strongly encourage promoters, clubs, bars, etc. not to host events in the city related to this game" (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 2/16).
