Exactly. I'd rather see those bands by themselves than go to the festival. Especially since Portugal is playing at Terminal West.
What are the logistics for the late night shows for Shaky Knees? Do they sell out quick? Do doors not open until the time listed/do people line up?
It was good. Unfortunately I had to leave early, because I left my friends to go see them and the opening act didnt even play until 90 min after the listed time.
we had two hit houses and another two hit powerlines. end of my street was blocked off completely from a huge oak that fell across the road.
Yeah it seemed like a ton of trees and branches fell last night. Probably exacerbated by the drought a bit, but the wind threw our two recycle bins all over the street and I can to clean all that crap up around 11 before going to bed.
No-one would have a pre-sale code for Ed Sheeran in Duluth by chance would they? Trying to get some for the GF for her birthday, but general sale doesn't go on until Friday and am pretty confident it'll sell out in a second.
I did the same for my gf for his added show in London and had no success. All the brokers snatched em up. Had to buy secondary market
I had to drop my car at a dealership up in smyrna for a recall repair. I've been 10 feet in traffic in 20 minutes. It's lunch on a thursday. The fact that they think baseball games will work here is an absolute joke.
I drive 75 and 285 every day past the stadium. If traffics sucks then I take Atlanta Road to Howell Mill. I cant wait for that to be everyones preferred route back home.
I moved to Atlanta in January of 2009 and ended up living off of that exit for a year. It was a complete shit show every day and that was before we had substantial population growth and added an additional 25k+ people going to the game. I can't imagine how bad it's going to be during home games.
Most of that shit looks pretty awesome and will be tremendous for my property value. Team gentrification
I guess if you can afford rent that high you should be able to afford to buy something, but I would very much like to put roughly 20% down on a house and even as a software developer with a working wife it's going to take me probably another year or more to afford a house that MAY be barely ITP unless I want a fixer-upper.
We bought 3.5 years ago and our mortgage is $2k. The apartment complex by our house is the same price for <1,000 sq ft. it's insane
I get the feeling some of you earn well into the six figures if you're able to afford that or have a spouse that makes a fuckton as well. We're well above the median household income, but this market is like Austin's it's just continuously shooting upward with no end in sight.
I'm 27 and not sure where I will be in a few years. I found a decent 1 bedroom condo and I pay less than $800 for rent and HOA a month. Also on both sides of me $1 million condos are being built, so I think I made a good decision.
Our home value is up 30% in 3 years and the realtor in our neighborhood said it'll go up another 10% by 2018. At this point it might make sense to wait it out until we have some type of recession. 2/2.5 townhouse with no garage and not updated since the 90s just went for $400k here in Piedmont Heights. There's no way we won't see a correction in the next few years
This is what I keep telling myself. We're having a kid at the end of may so our savings will be less until I negotiate for a better raise or take a job elsewhere. I could be a hell of a lot more patient if I was guaranteed prices will drop in 2-3 years but I'm so pessimistic as we've now dealt with this in two cities (unfortunately two of the fastest growing metros in the country).
Yea that's a tough spot. Wait 3 years and $400k might turn into $500k if there's no market correction
Right now we're in Doraville just ITP and I wouldn't mind buying a house in this area (Chamblee getting more expensive more quickly). It seems like a place where there will be significant changes for the better in the next 10 years, I'm hoping the real estate market won't skyrocket as it has in other areas closer to downtown.
Buying a house in Atlanta stresses me the fuck out. With a wedding next year, we're going to resign our lease this fall and see what the market does. Hopefully it levels off a bit, but I'm not holding my breath.
Buy what? Shits absurdly expensive nearly anywhere decent. A 3/1 in Kirkwood just sold for 340. Needs a brand new kitchen and a lot more.
Doubtful intown. It's absurd right now. Multiple offers on nearly anything. I'm super pumped I bought in 2009. My mortgage is like 1150. I couldn't afford nor would want to afford Kirkwood rn. When Toomer is recognized as a good school....shits gonna explode even more
We might see a leveling off as interest rates rise, but wouldn't count on price drops, especially intown. We might never see a drop like 2009-2011 ever again in our lifetime. That was a once in a lifetime buying opportunity and there will be plenty of demand intown as the population is expected to double over the next 25 years.
My first mortgage was $620, my construction loan is $1214 and I bid the rate up to get loan credit. And 3/2 are going for $300k and we're not even annexed yet. Refi in August to take money off the table and get some capital to start investing. Trying to talk gf into going partner track with her Big4 so I can just go flip and be a slum lord. Might just have to rip the top off and go vertical in a few years if Little Cottons come to be.
I've been looking to buy for almost 3 years but really wanted to prioritize school loans. Now that those are paid off, I'm getting sticker shock at every single property I look at based on what I've considered reasonable the past couple years. Perspective: My friends in other large cities are lucky to get a decent condo with a walled off bedroom for what we still pay for a 3BR in Kirkwood.
Atlanta has done well, but interest rates are still pretty low (even having jumped a bit over the last three months.) Have you considered a duplex in need of improvements in a beltline community? Essentially you'd be buying with forced appreciation, improving the units, then cash-out refinance if necessary while your tenant(s) pay most/all of the mortgage. Obviously not that simple, but at the same time it is
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1621-Avon-Ave-SW-Atlanta-GA-30311/35848436_zpid Quick search brought up this property. Obviously it's not Kirkwood, but the idea is the same I think the unit is either over improved, overpriced, or very likely both. However, the idea of buying a place like this, living in the studio while renting out the main unit may net you living for free. Free being relative, Obviously you're still responsible for repairs but if the renovations were done right and the large expenses are handled, HVAC and roof electric appliances etc., and your maintenance should be relatively low.
Avondale Estates’ Wild Heaven announces plans for Beltline brewery Wild Heaven, a brewery based in Avondale Estates, has announced plans to open a second brewery along the Atlanta Beltline. The brewery and taproom will be located at the Lee + White development next to the Beltline’s Westside trail. It will be over 21,000 square feet with room to expand. There will be a large area that overlooks the trail. The restaurant will also serve food. The announcement was made in conjunction with the passage of state Senate Bill 85 which allows direct beer sales by Georgia breweries. “We plan to create an incredible beer and food destination in an area of Atlanta whose time has come,” Wild Heaven President Nick Purdy said in a press release. “Beyond that, this facility provides space for our ongoing growth and expansion.” Brewmaster Eric Johnson said the company will start with a 15-barrel brewhouse. That will allow Wild Heaven to produce a smaller run of beers from the current line up. The company will follow up with a 60-barrel system that will “take over production of our mainline beers.” “Then our Avondale Estates facility can become focused on sour and barrel-aged beer production,” Johnson said. The company says the new brewery will be a $5 million investment, something that wouldn’t have been possible without the change in the state law. “Thanks to the leadership and vision of Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle, Senator Rick Jeffares, Representative Howard Maxwell and the efforts of our wholesale partners and persistence of the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild, it makes sense to double down on on our home state,” Purdy said in the press release. “We spent considerable time investigating the possibility of expanding our operation in various neighboring states, but the opportunity to stay at home and the amazing potential offered by the Beltline, combined with a new ability to sell some beer directly to those that want it proved irresistible,” Johnson said.
I don't think I've had too many Wild Heaven beers, though my fiancé is a big fan of their White Blackbird. That's going to be awesome, though. Can't believe it's taken this long for a brewery to get beltline frontage.
