Re-post of my Decatur Time Machine from July 2008

I had to do a repost of my Next Stop...Decatur Time Machine post from July 2008 after seeing the Mayor talk about Decatur this morning on the zip trip visit from CBS channel 46 Better Mornings Atlanta show.
I'm so glad someone looks at my Time Machine photos.




Pythagoras Masonic Temple Building

(click on pictures to enlarge)
Notice that both pictures have Decatur cops,
coincidence, you be the judge.

106 East Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur. This building, constructed in 1924, was originally built to serve as a Masonic Lodge. The official name of this building is the Pythagoras Masonic Temple Building, at least according to a sign on the northwest corner of the building.

Today, the Masons still meet in the building, on the third floor. The first and second floors are rented out, however, and among the tenants are Dekalb County's Dispute Resolution Center and the Temple Gallery, which is run by the Dekalb Council For the Arts.

This is what I said on July 2, 2008

Take a look at Glenn's Pharmacy, that looks so classic. What they should do is restore that corner of the building back to look like that and have another pharmacy in that spot with a lunch counter, if they did that it would give that area alot more attention. I think Decatur needs to connect the new section of stores down towards Ted's Montana Grill with the old section of Decatur, something needs to be done to make a better transition between the two areas.

Parker's on Ponce with new paintings from Decatur's own JD Isaacs



JD Isaacs sends this in.
Just wanted to send along pics of my commissioned paintings that were placed yesterday into there new home, a fine dining steakhouse called Parkers on Ponce in downtown Decatur around the block from my gallery. These three paintings are oil on canvas, the largest being 90" wide by 46" high. The owner was ecstatic with the results. I hope you like them, they were a joy to paint.
Thanks again,
JD

It's great to see JT from Parkers for hiring JD Isaacs to do this and keeping it in the Decatur family. JT and his partner Allie and JD Isaacs collaberated on the look of the pieces and they look great.

A World War II naval dive bomber was recovered from the bottom of Lake Michigan today.


A WWII naval training plane that crashed into Lake Michigan is brought to land at Waukegan Harbor this morning. (Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune)

A World War II naval dive bomber was recovered from the bottom of Lake Michigan today, 65 years after it crashed on a training mission off Waukegan.
It's known that the pilot survived, but it's not clear which aircraft this is, because definitive identification numbers can't be found on the plane.

Nevertheless a marine salvage company in Illinios, A&T, working with a naval aviation museum, found the aircraft using sidescan sonar in 315 feet of water, 27 miles out from Waukegan.

The plane was lifted from the bottom Thursday using an airbag and towed underwater into Waukegan Harbor this morning, where the j ob was completed.

At 10:15 a.m. a Larsen marine crane began lifting the aircraft from the water and for the next half hour slowly raised it as brown water and black mud poured out of it. At 10:46 a.m., the crane operator and handlers with ropes set the plane down on a blue tarpaulin.

The aircraft was lost during training operations during World War II when naval pilots were being trained out of Chicago's Navy Pier for takeoffs and landings on aircraft carriers.

This plane was one of nearly 100 that were lost during those exercises. About 40 of them have been recovered.

This morning, as the plane was lifted out of the water and gently angled toward touchdown on dry land, A&T diving engineer Keith Pearson looked at the plane with satisfaction. "This thing crashed and has been under water [a long time]. I think it looks pretty darn good, doesn't it?"

DeKalb tax assessors to reset property values

By APRIL HUNT

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution



DeKalb County property owners will see new assessments next month after the tax assessors on Thursday reconsidered how to set the 2009 tax values.

DeKalb Chief Executive Officer Burrell Ellis asked — and got — interim appraiser Hank Ruffin to revalue property after reading in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the county appeared not to be following a new state law.

Hi Dennis - I hope you're doing well. I wanted to let you and your readers know that Fleet Feet Decatur is now offering kids' merchandise - including shoes, socks, inserts and apparel. If this news is of any interest, I've included a picture as well.

Kids’ Merchandise Now Available at Fleet Feet Decatur

Fleet Feet Decatur is now offering children’s shoes, socks, inserts and apparel. The specialty retailer, which is owned by Decatur residents, will use its FIT process for kids’ shoes, looking at the bare foot and biomechanics to determine if a neutral cushion shoe or stability shoe will be best for each child.

Here’s a little more information about their kids’ products:

Shoes: Fleet Feet is carrying two New Balance shoes in sizes 3.5 to 7 – the New Balance 749 neutral cushion shoe and the more stable version, the 769. Both shoes offer New Balance’s great mid-foot support, as well as their proprietary cushioning system, ABZORB.

Socks: Give a hug to your child’s feet with Balega kids’ socks. Made of a modified polyester material, these socks feel as soft as cotton, but include added cushioning and moisture-wicking properties to help prevent blisters and chafing.

Inserts: Superfeet’s original Green or Blue inserts will provide great arch support for your child and last through a couple pairs of shoes. They even can fit into some kids’ casual shoes for better support all the time.

Apparel: Nike makes some great kids’ moisture-wicking running shorts and shirts that will help keep your child cool during the warm summer.

For more information call Fleet Feet Decatur at 404.371.0208 or visit their website at www.fleetfeetdecatur.com.

DREW HOLCOMB (EARLY SHOW)
Show time: 7:00 pm / Doors open: 6:00 pm
Individual advanced tix: $10 / At the door: $13 / Tables of 4: $50
Nashville's DREW HOLCOMB has logged in more than 500 concert dates across the country from solo coffeehouse gigs to clubs, festivals, and colleges with his band, the Neighbors. He has also opened for Ryan Adams, Los Lobos, Susan Tedeschi, Marc Broussard, Sister Hazel, and the North Mississippi Allstars, to name but a few. That Holcomb has sold almost 10,000 CDs in the process is equally impressive given he has done it all without any major label or music industry support. Not bad for a folk rocker who calls himself a "recovering singer-songwriter." Drew's album "Passenger Seat" has currently ranked Top 5 on the iTunes Folk Top Albums.




ADRIANNE / KYLER ENGLAND (LATE SHOW)
Show time: 9:30 pm / Doors open: 9:00 pm
Individual advanced tix: $12 / At the door: $15 / Tables of 4: $60

Adrianne has won the prestigious Eddie's Attic Open Mic Shootout, just got back from entertaining on one of the Rock Boat cruises, received the Boston Music Award for Best New Singer-Songwriter, and was a finalist in Boston's Lilith Fair Competition. Tonight she is releasing her new CD, "You Me Lonely."

KYLER ENGLAND's organic pop music recently scored her the title "Hot 100 Unsigned Artists 2007" by Music Connection Magazine. Kyler's songs have been featured in many TV shows including Army Wives, Guiding Light, Zoey 101, Rollergirls, Paradise City as well as films like the upcoming "The Lucky Ones" starring Rachel McAdams and Tim Robbins. She is based out of Los Angeles, but tours over 100+ shows per year...sharing the stage with artists like Sting, Annie Lennox, Teitur, Gavin DeGraw and Melissa Etheridge. She released her latest project, "Simple Machine" just a few months ago.

JEFFREY GAINES / NAKED BLUE
Show time: 8:00 pm / Doors open: 6:30 pm
Individual advanced tix: $15 / At the door: $18 / Tables of 4: $75
JEFFREY GAINES was signed to the Chrysalis Records label in 1990 and released his debut album, Jeffrey Gaines, in 1992. The first single off his critically acclaimed record was entitled "Hero In Me" which performed live on Good Morning America. However, "Scares Me More" featured an acoustic live version of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes", which became an even bigger hit for Jeffrey. He was one of the artists invited to contribute vocals to the benefit CD "We are Family", produced by Nile Rodgers after the September 11, 2001 attacks with profits going to the families affected by the tragedy and "dedicated to the vision of a global family" and respect and understanding of cultural diversity. The single peaked at #9 on Billboard's Hot Singles Sales chart in late 2001 and #32 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in early 2002. He has performed live on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, VH-1, Friday Night Videos and A&E's Breakfast with the Arts and has toured with artists including Tracy Chapman, Sting, Shawn Colvin, Edwin McCain, The Bacon Brothers and Stevie Nicks.

Baltimore's NAKED BLUE is husband-and-wife team Scott and Jen Smith. They've already recorded 5 CDs. Fans of Shawn Colvin will enjoy their radio-friendly adult contemporary pop/folk.

California flag at Decatur courthouse? It’s movie magic

California flag at Decatur courthouse? It’s movie magic

By MARCUS K. GARNER

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

If you happened by the Decatur square Wednesday and wondered why California’s bear-on-red-and-white flag tussled on the square’s flagpole, rather than Georgia’s state banner — no, Decatur hasn’t seceded to the west.

A Lifetime TV crew this week will be filming a courtroom dramedy set in small-town California in which Decatur’s Old Court House will play the part of — you guessed it — an old small-town courthouse.

First Waffle House may become historic building


First Waffle House may become historic building

By April Hunt

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Wednesday, April 08, 2009

Smothered, covered and - maybe - historical.

That’s the application before DeKalb County, which is considering whether to make Waffle House #1 on East College Avenue a historic property. The county’s historical preservation committee will hold a public hearing on the nomination of the building, now a museum, at 7 p.m. Monday, April 20 at the Maloof Center in Decatur.

The building sits just outside the city of Avondale Estates, which tried unsuccessfully for the third time this year to annex that and other property along College Avenue. The owners of the private museum were among the few business owners in the corridor who supported joining the city.
