But why would you want to leave Montgomery? Our ecosystem shits on Atlanta's (No idea if that's true).
A lot of good info itt. Keep in mind, they have the ability to pull out at any time. It will be very interesting to watch the impact of the inevitable fight over RFRA in the 2016 legislative session, and, if passed, the response from CFB, NFL and companies with a large presence in Georgia. Indiana faced the loss of significant revenue until they put their short term fix in place. It is an issue to keep an eye on, IMO.
Harry and Sons in Virginia Highlands is outstanding. It is also typically packed with groups of really attractive females.
this new NCR building plus those new apartment/condos are going to nicely fill in that strip of of emptiness along the connector in midtown
Seriously. Tired af with this miserable weather. Its been rainy the past couple of years. We were basically in a historical drought from like the late 90s until about when I moved away for grad school in 2009. Then I moved back in 2012 and it rained a lot more than I recall. Or at least it seems like it rains all the time. Bad lightning storms too.
I'm only happy when it rains. It will quit raining as soon as it's cold enough to snow, then it will resume when the temp gets above freezing.
All of this is Jeremy Pruitt's fault 8. The 1985 – 89 drought “(caused) streamflows in northern Georgia (to be) near the lowest (levels) of the 1900’s. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers drastically decreased water release from Lake Lanier in 1986. However, lake levels eventually filled to about 2 feet above the record minimum. This was yet another “Drought of the Century.” The September 2006 issue of New Scientist magazine documented that “1987 was the warmest year (globally) since records began.” (Additionally, the article explicates that even the coldest years in the 1980s were overall warmer than the warmest years of the 1880s.) By 1988, “the drought had reached recurrence intervals of 50–100 years in extreme northern Georgia, 10–25 years in central Georgia, and less than 10 years in southern Georgia. “(USGS) NOTE: Government entitites in the United States keeping records since the 19th century also report that 1987 was the warmest year ever tracked. Additionally, they agree that the coldest years in the 1980s were warmer than the warmest years of the 1880s. It is important to realize that this fact also means that even more surface water was lost to evaporation than normal, compounding drought effects. 9. The 1998 – 2003 drought was severe enough that even the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) beginning in 1999 reported on the “Drought of the Century”. Typical headline = “Drought agony continues for US farmers.” During the 1998 - 2003 period, streamflow-gauging stations throughout the state established new record daily low flows, with recurrence intervals ranging from about 20 years to greater than 50-year recurrence interval low flows. By the summer of 2000, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) had to implement statewide restrictions on outdoor water use. In 2001, the US Geological Survey confirmed that during 2000, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi suffered the driest May–October period on record ever. (Yet between 1990 and 2000, water use in Georgia increased 30 percent.) 10. The drought of 2007 began in 2006, with lower than normal rainfall. The Oct. 3, 2007 issue of Southeast Farm Press reported that “John Beasley, University of Georgia Extension peanut specialist, said…that everyone who was around at the time says the current drought is worse than the one in 1954.” At the end of August 2007, the Associated Press reported that National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center believes that “this year’s exceptional drought could continue well into next year, with below-average rainfall meaning months more of brown crops, dead grass and exposed lake bottoms.” Also a “Drought of the Century.”
What happened to yeah burger!? Very average the last two times I've been. Went today and was underwhelmed
SIAP As reported in What Now Atlanta, Tom Murphy and the team behind Murphy’s in Virginia-Highland and Paces & Vine in Vinings is expanding its restaurant group with the acquisition of the Rosebud space in Morningside. Of course, the sale follows in the wake of the recent news that Ron Eyester, the chef/owner of Diner in Atlantic Station and founder of Grateful Tables restaurant group, was closing and selling his two original Morningside/ North Highland Ave. restaurants, Rosebud and the Family Dog. Eyester closed his third Morningside restaurant, Timone’s, in July. In a phone call this morning, Murphy confirmed the Rosebud deal, but declined to give details, except to say that he wanted to help out Eyester and preserve the restaurant for the neighborhood, along with its longtime connection to the Morningside Farmers Market.
Yeah I heard this. Place was great and had some really good bartenders. I think one of the key drink guys left earlier this year to pursue something else so not sure if that had any impact on the closing. Looks like a Tiki bar going up in its place.
Yep, a tiki bar. That will just guarantee that I always choose to visit the Victory instead. But there's no need to go to Decatur for Victory when I can just walk to one.
Im a fan of that. Not the perfect spot. But its a good spot. Good to see that businesses are continuing to spread over there. Its not as bad as ppl itt make it out to be.
It's a fantastic spot for a second location and the last developable area inside the northern perimeter. Now that Edens is moving forward with the publix/mixed use development and the TAD legal issue is settled, this area is primed and ready to go. As a real estate guy, I'm a huge fan of this area of town and its potential. Your home value is about to rise significantly in the next 3 years, hold onto it.
Atlanta Hawks @ATLHawks And lastly, current and former military members get 2 free tickets to tonight's game by showing their military ID at the box office!
Yea buddy. Finally getting the funding for that roadwork to support the Publix development was huge. I was sure that was going to fall through somehow. I haven't met her personally, but my Councilwoman Felicia Moore always seems like she's on top of her shit.
