ATLANTA — No matter how big or small the gesture, there aren’t enough ways to thank the countless frontline workers keeping us safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
Landmarks and buildings across the country are showing their appreciation by lighting up in blue.
A few places in metro Atlanta joined the #LightItBlue campaign Thursday, including the Braves’ Truist Park.
The Braves will light up Truist Park and the Battery Atlanta in blue every Thursday night starting at 7:30 p.m.
