Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
June bug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see
They're not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see
We don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess forgotten and absorbed
Into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
As you see there's no one around

Lenox Square Mall is amidst a multi-phase renovation project
---
Lenox Square Mall is amidst a multi-phase renovation project to its interior and exterior. Simon Property Group, the mall’s developer, submitted a building permit application Tuesday to City of Atlanta to renovate the Buckhead mall’s “north facade.”
Once complete, the north facade will feature a two-story glass storefront with a redesigned porte-cochere and enhanced valet services, costing an estimated $10,265,395.
In December 2011, Simon spent more than $600,000 to demolish Lenox’s existing north facade.
“This renovation will be attractive to both current and prospective tenants and we’re already working on lease commitments with new specialty stores and restaurants in conjunction with the renovation plans,” John Phipps, Senior Vice President of Development for Simon Property Group, said in a press release.
“Our objective is to maintain Lenox Square and nearby Phipps Plaza as the epicenter of the best retail in the southeastern United States.”
The mall’s second phase of renovations will include a number of new
enhancements and amenities to Lenox’s interior, including a
fully-renovated Dining Pavilion with new dining options, new ceiling
treatments to increase natural light and expanded seating including an
outdoor patio.
The mall’s Atrium Court will also receive a new look.

Good Growth DeKalb: Court Denies Motion to Intervene in Walmart Suit
From: northdruidhillspatch
A DeKalb County judge denied on Tuesday Selig Enterprises' motion to intervene in a lawsuit seeking to prevent construction of a Walmart Supercenter in North Decatur, Good Growth DeKalb said.
"This means that Suburban Plaza, owned by Selig, cannot make arguments at the hearing on Friday, August 9, and means Selig’s Motion to Dismiss the case is moot," the group wrote on its Facebook page. "But we still have to contend with the county’s Motion to Dismiss so please come out to the rally and hearing on Friday."
