Chipper Jones Places Roswell Home For Sale

by

Roswell Home owned by Chipper Jones For SaleIt seems that Chipper Jones has finished up with the Atlanta Braves and his little 23,000 sq. ft. bungalow in North Fulton.

According to the AJC, he’s already purchased another home in the Atlanta area. With such details as 7 bedrooms (lot’s of room for the visiting family?) and a 6- car garage (ok, now I’m in love with it) it’s priced about 25 percent less than the former Atlanta Braves third basemen paid for the home. It’s listed at $3.2 million.

Interested? I’d be happy to schedule a showing for you. I suspect you will need to prove your financial ability to purchase the home first.

We're sorry, but we couldn't find MLS # 5092957 in our database. This property may be a new listing or possibly taken off the market. Please check back again.

Georgia Gains as Hollywood Loses in Movie and TV Productions

It should be no surprise, but then again, maybe you’ve missed the star sightings, not worked as an extra, or seen those familar white trucks and mini trailer cities know as “Base Camp.” But the proof would be like Jerry MacGuire said…”Show Me The Money!:

Georgia Gains as Hollywood Loses in Movie and TV Productions

I’ve personally had the pleasure of being around Tyler Perry more than once. I worked on Hall Pass, The Odd Life of Timothy Green and others! Movies are big biz in Georgia and the Metro Atlanta area.

Don’t go far…shows like Drop Dead Diva, The Vampire Diaries and The Game are all filmed right here in Atlanta.

It’s even big news on the Big News! Check out this story on CNN News about the film industry in Georgia. (I tried to put the actual video here, but….well…)

GWCCA approves Falcons stadium blueprint

by

See on Scoop.it – Midtown Atlanta Conversations and Condos

The blueprint for a new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons was approved early Monday in a special called meeting of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority.
The state agency, in a unanimous decision, gave its thumbs up to a “term sheet,” which lays out the business terms with team for a new field, including who will pay for it, how the revenue will be divided and who will own the building.
Left of out the agreement, which is the first step in the process but not a final deal, is actually where the stadium will be constructed. The parties are looking at building the stadium either one block south of the Georgia Dome along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive or about one-half mile north on Northside Drive.
The “term sheet” is non-binding and changes can be made over the coming months.
Leaders, who want the building open for the 2017 season, now have to work on a Memoradum of Understanding, which will be closer to the final contract. That process is expected to be completed in mid-January, said Frank Poe, executive director of the GWCCA.
The parties are discussing building a $948 million retractable roof stadium, thought most expect the price to be closer to $1 billion. About $300 million of the cost will come from hotel-motel tax collections from Atlanta and unincorporated Fulton County. The Falcons will be responsible for the rest.

Where is Main Street in Atlanta? Do You Know?

by

Where Is Main Street in Atlanta GAIf you’ve lived in Atlanta for more than a week, you know that Atlanta is all about naming streets Peachtree Something.

But, Where is Main Street in Atlanta? Do You Know?

The street naming in Atlanta gets downright confusing….are we on Peachtree Street, Peachtree Road, Peachtree Industrial Blvd, or Peachtree Parkway? (That is how many times Peachtree Street, leaving Downtown Atlanta changes names as it heads North all the way to Cumming!)

So, I’m going through a Google Alert (stick we me on this train of thought so you can see how I got here….) The Alert leads me to a post about a GATech fraternity that’s in trouble, to health scores on restaurants, that leads me to a post at Midtown Patch about a perfect score for Five Guys Burgers. Ok, I’m thinking the location at Spire Midtown Atlanta. But no, they reference the “Main Street Five Guys Burgers and Fries located just north of Midtown.”

But Where is Main Street, Just North of Midtown?

Well, a couple of clicks later…I found it. It’s the Five Guys Burgers located at Lindbergh Center and the Lindbergh MARTA Station. WOW! Really? It took me some 3- 5 clicks to find something I should of found on the FIRST post, if they would of called it Five Guys Burgers Lindbergh Center.

In real estate, I often see a  s-t-r-e-t-c-h in describing where a home may be located. But, in reality, if you just say where it ACTUALLY is located, you will probably be much further ahead in people finding your home For Sale or your burger restaurant.
