Annual Fall Festival on Ponce: Fall Never Looked So Good The Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces is proud to announce its Third Annual Fall Festival on Ponce coming up October 19th and 20th in Atlanta, Georgia.  The Fall Festival on Ponce is an Atlanta arts and crafts festival held in the historic Olmsted Linear Park. Visitors will enjoy the gorgeous landscape designed by one of America's most celebrated landscape architects, Fredrick Olmsted Sr. , which was carefully restored by the Olmsted Linear Park Alliance. An estimated 20,000 visitors will attend this event with over 125 displays of fine art and crafts, folk and "outsider art." In addition to the abundance of unique art, there will be a children's area, local gourmet food, beverages and a small stage for acoustic musical performances. Attendance is Free. This is the third year that AFFPS will hold an outdoor arts and crafts festival in the chain of parks on Ponce de Leon Ave in the historic Druid Hills neighborhood. This event will be very conservative, with sensitivity and consideration for the park and surrounding neighborhood. AFFPS and the Fall Festival on Ponce will be partnering with the Greater Atlanta Hadassah Chapter to help raise funds for the Hadassah Medical Organization. HMO is internationally renowned for its pioneering medical research, which benefits people in every corner of the world. HMO provides medical care to over one million patients a year regardless of race, religion or nationality.

Facelift for Plaza Theatre
From : encoreatlanta.com
Facelifts in store for Plaza, President theaters
By Encore Atlanta
Historic buildings in Atlanta and Manchester will undergo restoration, thanks to grant money from the Fox Theatre Institute.
The outreach program, created by the Fox Theatre, helps preserve historic buildings, revitalize arts programs and strengthen local economies. It will do so this fiscal year at Atlanta’s Plaza Theatre and Manchester’s President Theatre. Some details:
At the Plaza, grant monies will help restore the theater marquee, changing it from fluorescent to LED lighting and doing away with rust. The Plaza will look better from the street and be much more eco-friendly. The work will be done in time for the theater’s 75th anniversary.
At the President, FTI funds will finance complete reconstruction of the theater façade, from the marquee to the top of its tower and spire. The restoration will emphasize returning the President to the art deco jewel it was in 1935. Manchester, a city of less than 4,000, is in extreme middle-west Georgia, in Meriwether County.
Some theaters need assistance remodeling their lobby or auditorium. Some want to learn about sales and marketing, or need assistance with programming and ticket sales. Some want to train in-house restoration staff. The goal is to help these theaters become viable economic and cultural centers for the communities they’re in, much like the Fox has done under Atlanta Landmark’s guidance
The FTI’s previous projects include the Rylander Theatre in Americus; the Morton Theatre in Athens; the Imperial Theatre in Augusta; the Ritz in Brunswick; the Gem Theatre in Calhoun; the Springer Opera House in Columbus; the Holly Theatre in Dahlonega; the Grand in Fitzgerald; the Cox Capitol and Douglas theaters as well as the Grand Opera House, all in Macon; the Strand in Marietta; the DeSoto in Rome; the Emma Kelly in Statesboro; and the Ritz in Thomaston.
Before and after photos of recently completed projects can be seen HERE.

Help Pie Shop open in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood!
I read about this at Decatur Patch and wanted to help with this campaign, so I am posting about this to get the word out.
----
Hi neighbors! I own a bakery called Pie Shop that started in rented kitchen space in Decatur in 2010 and has been operating full-scale for 2.5 years in Buckhead. Happily, I just launched a crowd-funding campaign to bring Pie Shop back! We have been a well-loved destination in our current location but have many supporters in Decatur and surrounding neighborhoods who would like to see Pie Shop come closer. With your help we can be the next long-standing member of the community.
If you love pie, coffee, and happy places to sit and share those things with friends, please visit the campaign here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/416354093/p...
It runs for a very limited time and the clock is ticking so if you believe in this project please help me get the word out by sending this link to your friends.
I am happy to answer any questions!
Thank you,
Mims

The Kimball House to Open Soon

Kimball House in the historic Decatur Depot building, will open this fall. The Brick Store Pub and Leon's Full Service teams are behind the new restaurant and bar, which was inspired by turn-of-the-century American hotels and takes its name from the Kimball House hotel that was razed in the mid-1900s.
Both the kitchen and the bar will draw inspiration from the menus of old hotel bars and restaurants. Executive chefs Jeffery Wall and Philip Meeker, who met on the line Joel, will develop the food menu. "Dishes will show classic French techniques while still remaining playful," and the menu will showcase oysters and fresh fish.
Miles Macquarrie of Leon's is creating the cocktails— both classics and "culinary-inspired" originals— and the list of spirits, which includes absinthe and sparking and fortified wines. Michael Gallagher of Leon's and Brick Store Pub is in charge of the wine list, and Kimball House will have a rotating selection of craft beers behind the bar.
The restaurant is currently in the build out phase— note the new white exterior in the picture above, compared to the previous dark green incarnation— and is currently hiring for all positions. The application can be found here.

Waiting for Balloon! at The Woodruff Arts Center October 17 – November 9.
Dear Next Stop...Decatur
The Alliance
is pleased to announce our first Theatre for the Very Young production of the
2013/14 season – Waiting for Balloon! This encore production tells the
story of two childlike hobo-clowns waiting near the railroad tracks for
“balloon.” The problem is that neither of them knows exactly what “balloon”
is. Through delightful trial and error, exploration and interaction with the
audience, the two piece together what makes a balloon a balloon and celebrate
all that is discovered while we “wait!” Waiting for Balloon is a joyous
introduction to gentle clowning and the joy of creating puppets from found
objects, designed by the creative mind of Puppeteer Michael Haverty.
Theatre for
the Very Young is an artistic experience for children ages 18 months – 5 years
that overcomes age, language, and developmental barriers, expanding the
consciousness of very young audience members and integrating bi-lingual elements
into each show. Each production nurtures creative thinking, allowing the very
young to experience art and culture on their terms.
Waiting
for Balloon runs at the Alliance from October 17 – November 9. I hope you
can share this information with your readers.
Please let me know if you have any
questions.
Best,
Kathleen
