As the city of Atlanta begins its slow transition from a metaphorical dumpster fire to a literal one, local residents have found a way to make their city’s slow destruction fun at the Church of His Holy Communion’s Weekly Bingo Night.

“We figured, if the interstates are going to start collapsing, we may as well make it fun,” said church pastor Reverend James Walker. “Basically, everybody makes a laminated bingo sheet with all of the roads coming in and out of Atlanta on a grid. Then we meet every Wednesday and read out which interstates have collapsed that previous week. There’s punch and cake, and the grand prize is a $25 gift card to the Cheesecake Factory. It’s been great for the community. Attendance is at a record high.”

It is unclear whether the Bingo night’s increased attendance is due to a growing interest in the game of bingo, or diminishing transit options with each road failure forcing young people to stay close to home. One thing is for sure, it has brought two disparate generations together.

“It’s great having all of these young faces around. I love it,” said Harriet, three-time Bingo Regional Champion and grandmother of five. “Though I saw Edna’s son editing his sheet after the last interstate collapse. That boy’s a little cheat. If I catch him doing it again, I’m cutting his fucking fingers off.”

Even local officials have begun participating, with Mayor Kasim Reed showing up for this past week’s festivities. Said Kasim, “Bingo’s been great. Man, Atlanta roads on a grid. I wish we’d thought of that.”
