Where is Main Street in Atlanta? Do You Know?

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.

Many were glued to the TV yesterday as the U.S. played the British in the World Cup. I didn’t recall there being many commercials as we are use to with our U.S. sporting events. So, I was delighted when I picked up off of one of my Atlanta friends, Colin Ake, this commercial that aired during the game.

It’s just awesome. Enjoy! And Enjoy your Sunday!

 

DeKalb County Breaks Ground on New Senior Center in Chamblee

by

I had the pleasure to see the results of a community that works together to improve itself. Today, I attended the Groundbreaking ceremony for the North Dekalb Senior/Community Center in Chamblee. And old office-type warehouse building will be torn down and replaced with a new 15, 000 sq. ft. building.

Groundbreaking Ceremony Attended by Dekalb County Officials and Chamblee Mayor

Burrell Ellis Dekalb CEO Attends North Dekalb Senior Center Ground BreakingOn hand for the event was Burrell Ellis, CEO of DeKalb County, Kathie Gannon, Commissioner, District 6, Jeff Rader, Commissioner District 2, and Sharon Barnes Sutton from District 4. Additionally, Mayor Eric Clarkson of Chamblee addressed the cold but excited audience of some 60 people who were in attendance. Also, Former Mayor Evelyn R. Kennedy addressed the group, obviously proud of the progress Chamblee has made with new development around the Chamblee MARTA station. (This new building is directly across from the 3400 Malone Condominiums which have some prime first floor commercial opportunities available!)

New Community Center Will Offer Variety of Services and Activities

The facility will have a commercial kitchen, community meeting rooms, a computer lab, fully equipped fitness room, access to walking trails and senior sitting areas both inside and around the grounds of the building. (I’m not sure what constitutes a “senior sitting area??”)

The Main Dining Hall will accommodate up to 120 people for dining and is designed to easily convert and serve as meeting space for educational seminars, and community/civic events.

Activity rooms will be made available for ceramics, billiards, and games such as chess, bridge and backgammon. A large social lounge will also be part of the facility.

While located in close proximity to the Chamblee MARTA station, it may be to much of a walk for anyone with a disability. But it certainly will be a great addition to the area, and the neighboring cities of Doraville and soon-to-be Brookhaven should be green with envy they did not land such a great addition to the community and what will sure to be a well used facility for Seniors!

Classic Car Commercials – The Landau Vinyl Roof

On my continued quest for the ever interesting commericals, I had to laugh at this one. The landau vinyl roof at no extra charge! And you could get white wall tires. Remember white walls? I do still have them on my ’69 Buick, but they are pretty much a thing of the past.

Enjoy!
