Tens, If Not Dozens of New Jobs Created in Atlanta: Thanks to 'Lil Magic'

In more arousing news, the Atlanta Journal Constitution posted a wonderful story about a magical source of new jobs for young ladies around the country.

"But that hasn’t slowed the would-be dancers lining up to apply for the $350 permit to work in the city’s 19 clubs, Atlanta police say (the police give out the permits? wtf). Among the usual aspiring actresses (if this is true, I have no idea how Rosanne became an actress) and dancers, there are more college students, single mothers trailing toddlers, health and office professionals and even a few age-defying grandmothers (gross)— all looking for well-paid work in a city with unemployment above 10 percent.  “We have them coming in daily looking for work,” says Michael “Lil Magic” Barney Jr., the 28-year-old general manager of Magic City, a downtown Atlanta fixture founded by his father."
