DDI Comes to I-285 and Ashford Dunwoody Road

by

Yes….and your first question SHOULD be, “What the h-ll is a DDI? Well, you will soon find out as they construct a DDI at I-285 and Ashford-Dunwoody Road…a.k.a. The Perimeter.

A DDI is called a Diverging Diamond Interchange. The design shifts traffic flow to the opposite side of the road to help the flow of traffic. And if you’ve EVER been in the Perimeter Mall area, you know it could use all the help it can get!

A DDI is a cutting-edge, low cost design to help improve traffic. And we all know how much traffic in the ATL needs improving!

Let’s see how it works….

To sprawl or not to sprawl? A Story about the Transportation Tax Vote

by

Atlanta Transportation Tax VoteSee on Scoop.it – Other Atlanta News Events

In this article by Thomas Wheatley from Creative Loafing, he brings up some very, very interesting points. This transportation tax will be voted on in July, and when you look at the overall measure and how much money is still being pumped into road construction…..”For five years I’ve been practically begging to pay an extra tax to build sorely needed transit in metro Atlanta. Now that it’s a possibility, I wonder if the measure we’re being asked to consider this summer is really such a good idea.”

AAA — American Automobile Association

by

AAAI’m a member of the American Automobile Association or as well all know it Triple A (AAA)! It’s simply the best $84 I spend!

The piece of mind, knowing that if my car or truck breaks down, they will be there to tow me to the nearest mechanic, or if here in Atlanta, they tow me directly to MY mechanic!  While I’m a happy customer of AAA, I’m not happy that they do not offer domestic partner benefits. I can’t add my partner, he has to pay for an entire membership on his own. Luckily, we are ususally together, so even if driving his car, we are covered.

The offer discounts on a variety of services….most I’ve never used. But when I do travel, I always search for a AAA hotel rate, and often times it’s the best deal to be had. Here’s some examples of discounts:

  • Atlanta Braves — Buy 1 Get 1 Free on Upper Box tickets
  • Denny’s Restaurant — Save 10% on Food and Nonalcoholic beverages (Does Denny’s SERVE alcohol?)
  • GAP Stores — Save 10% on all in-store purchase
  • Park ‘N Fly — Save 15% on off-airport parking
  • Mimis Cafe — Save 10% on food and nonalcoholic beverages

They also offer numerous other travel discounts based on the company, LOTS of discounts on Central Florida attractions, AND Insurance. They have also just opened 3 Car Car Centers here in the Atlanta area.

But by far, the towing service has been the feature I have always used. AAA. Money well spent!

What To Expect When You Are Expecting | Movie Trailer –Filmed in Midtown Atlanta

by

The movie filming business is hopping in Atlanta! You never know who you will see and when!!

Just this past week, I saw Kevin Bacon in a SmartCar in Buckhead! (Thanks Kevin for going green and not hauling around in a big Surburban….although I’d LOVE to have one!) Anyway….

What To Expect When You Are Expecting was filmed here in Atlanta  last summer, and  the Lionsgate film was shot at various locations around the Midtown area including Piedmont Park and Smith’s Olde Bar. The film, which stars Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock and Anna Kendrick among others, is based loosely on the popular pregnancy manual, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.”

What To Expect When You Are Expecting Filmed in Midtown Atlanta

The movie features four couples who are all expecting children and how they deal with the upcoming additions to their families.

The trailer cannot be embeded here, so here is a link to What To Expect When You Are Expecting! You’ll see lots of the Midtown skyline in the background, and Piedmont Park!
