The National Observer July 14, 2022
A little over 13 months ago, I made my introduction here. Less than seven weeks later I met my first child. War, inflation, formula shortages, life-saving vaccines and hordes of multibillion-dollar purchases were on their way. Pickleball was still a fringe hobby. Jump ahead 200-plus newsletters and we're here: my final day with The National Observer. I'm returning to the Atlanta Business Chronicle newsroom, this time as managing editor, where I'll be implementing a year's worth of acquired wisdom…

Good morning folks,
As you’ve probably noticed, I’m not your usual editor. Eric Mandel, who shaped this newsletter for the past 13 months, has rejoined the Atlanta Business Chronicle, leaving you in my care.
I started as a journalist in Houston, where I covered the energy industry, eventually landing at the Houston Business Journal in 2016. I picked up a geeky fascination with financial reports and regulatory filings there, and I’ve kept that approach with my reporting since then. I?...

It's almost always more interesting — from the outside perspective, anyway — to see a plan fall apart than it is to see it come together.
That's what we got Wednesday when Spirit Airlines shareholders declined to approve a multibillion-dollar merger with Frontier Airlines. It's pretty unusual for shareholders to buck the desires of the executives and directors, but the teams at the top of the two airlines were trying to close the deal amid escalating hostile takeover bids for Spirit coming ...

Good morning, I hope you had a relaxing weekend.
I grew up just outside of Houston, but I moved to the center of town for college and lived in or near downtown for most of my 20s. While the area has been making efforts to bring more people there for recreation, much of the district remains dedicated to people who are there during the day for work and leave before the sun goes down.
When Covid-19 hit and many of those workers were staying home in the suburbs, downtown Houston, like many other c...

Good morning, readers. I'm back from vacation and ready to get back into the top business news of the day, so let's dive right in.
Monte Deere, CEO of Utah-based shoemaker Kizik Design LLC, has a theory about why his state has seen so much business and corporate growth in recent years.
The workforce available in the state is getting smarter and bigger as people move from California and Oregon, he said. That has drawn a lot of development in the past 15 years — and Utah is now filled with cor...

Good morning, readers.
Morgan State University, one of two historically Black colleges and universities working on opening a new medical school, has moved a step closer by snagging state approval to lease part of its property for the project.
It will be just the fifth historically Black medical school in the U.S. when it opens.
I got the chance to interview Reynold Verret, the president of Xavier University Louisiana (the other HBCU working on a medical school)Â earlier this summer. He told ...

Good morning, readers.
Our top story today involves a big real estate deal that stems from a trend in the banking sector. As consolidation swept across banks in the U.S., it left many local branches to close, the buildings sitting vacant in prime real estate.
Now an investor has swept up a portfolio of such properties in a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Read on to learn more about that, what's happening with college endowments, life sciences trends to watch and more.

I hope you had a great weekend, even if your team didn't win the World Series.
While we've seen a lot of stories lately about housing markets cooling amid rising interest rates, it's worth bearing in mind that this comes after a period of home prices rising pretty rapidly. That history, compounded with interest rates causing the market to slow, means affordability problems are persisting in many regions.
