Best place for Taco's is Taqueria del Sol
Decatur, GA.
Taqueria del Sol has four locations, on Cheshire Bridge in Buckhead, on the westside on Howell Mill Road, in Decatur and in Athens.
11 Alive's Jaye Watson's favorite spot.
Reporters aren't supposed to give their opinions so please forgive me. Taqueria del Sol is quite simply my favorite taqueria in all of Atlanta and I would argue, it's the best, except I refuse to argue over something that I know to be a fact, at least in my biased heart.
The first time I had a fish taco from Taqueria I was blown away. Then I had the memphis taco, then I had the carnita, then I had the fried chicken taco, then I had the salsa trio, then I had the guacamole, then I had the cheese dip...then I rolled myself to my car and laid on the couch for four days.
Owner Mike Klank says the concept is the south meets southwest. He's taken southern favorites like pulled pork and fried chicken and paired them companions like jicama slaw and jalapenos and lots of other stuff I don't know and makes an incredibly unique, fresh, delicious taco.
Most days you'll find a line out the door long before noon. Customers are effusive in their praise and fanatical about their favorites. I know how they feel.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Decatur city schools officials voted to reduce the number of teacher workdays in the next school year.
n a 3-0 vote, the number of teacher workdays drops from 190 to 187, Marc Wisniewski, board vice chairman, told the AJC Thursday night.
The furlough days next school year are meant to help balance the budget.
The furloughs mean about a 2 percent reduction for most staff, Superintendent Phyllis Edwards said.
“I believe we’re taking the least destructive measures we can take,” Edwards told about 50 parents and teachers on Wednesday.

1946 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Decatur
----
Decatur, GA ----- Monday March 18, 1946
Mr. Maury F. Mable leads his 51st St. Patrick's Day Parade.
St. Patrick's Day fell on Sunday in 1946 and the parade was held
on Monday the 18th.
Research by D.G.Whitefield
IT'S THE IRISH IN 'IM
Mable Plans 51st Parade in Honor of Patron Saint
By William O. Key
The Irishest man in the world undoubledly is Mr. Maury F. Mable, of Decatur, GA
Mayflower upper-deckers and Plymouth Rock boasters may sing of their blue blood.
Folks who loudly trace their dubioud antecedents back to some whistle-stop
in Eastern Latvin that sounds like throat trouble, may howl about their red-blooded Americanism.
But when Mr. Mable nicks himself with his razor, the stuff he stanches must of course, be as green as your Aunt Minnie's imitation emeralds. For Mr. Mable is,at heart, as Irish as Paddys pig than which there are few things Irisher.
For the fifty-first year, Mr Mable Monday forenoon will stage his traditional St. Patrick's Day one man parade
out Decatur way. This year there will be quite a few trailing Mr. Mable, but since for all but three or four parades Mr. Mable has walked alone, it still is regarded as a One-Man Show - the screwiest on earth perhaps, but a serious business with Mr. Mable
This parade photo is from the Dekalb Historical Society.
Which is from the Maury Mable Family collection.
Maury Mable is leading the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Decatur.
The year is 1946, looking at the Dekalb Theatre marquee you can see the movie playing is "Week end at the Waldorf "(1945).
You can see F.W. Woolworth's next door and the Western Auto Store on the other side. the view is on East Ponce de Leon looking from Church St. toward Clairmont, east to west on Ponce de leon

Mac McGee Irish Pub Review
Decatur, GA / photo credit nextstopdecatur.com
Mac McGee Irish Pub Review
For the AJC
Nowadays, there must be more Irish pubs in America than in Ireland. And surely on St. Patrick’s Day the madding crowds will be packing them cheek by jowl.
All that makes it even more sublime to think of nestling into the snug environs of Mac McGee for a quiet pint on an afternoon when nobody’s around.
The new Irish pub on Decatur Square looks as though it’s been there forever. Add an imaginative menu, plus an impressive selection of beer and spirits, and it becomes an even more pleasant surprise.
Vintage character
Occupying the former Saba space, the ultra-bright red color that frames the door and windows announces the entrance. The interior makes the most of brick walls and warm wood, with a busy array of knickknacks, signs and artwork. Among the intimate seating nooks, there’s a table pressed against a brick hearth. A vintage arched stained-glass window casts a glow over the burnished bar, giving the place an aura that seems more West Coast of Ireland than Downtown Decatur.

Cut Staff or Raise Taxes
DeKalb schools must cut staff or raise taxes
By Megan Matteucci
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
DeKalb County class sizes likely will grow, teacher pay will be cut and 154 central officer workers will lose their jobs under budget proposals unveiled Friday.
Almost every area of the state’s third largest school district will be affected by what officials are calling the worst budget crisis in its history. The only option to spare impacting the education of DeKalb’s 101,000 students is to raise taxes, some board members said.
After only a week on the job, Interim Superintendent Ramona Tyson on Friday presented five proposals to cut the budget to meet an anticipated $88 million deficit in next school year’s budget.

Winnona Park Home Featured on Curb Appeal: The Block
Decatur, GA
Curb Appeal:The Block in Winnona Park
From the HGTV site: Vicki Johnson spent all of her savings moving into a home in Decatur, GA so that her daughter could benefit from the amazing school system. Unfortunately, that left her with no money to spend updating her home. Designer and architect John Gidding and his team have stepped in with a design plan that will take Vicki's breath away. The bright green and yellow house color are the most important aspects of the house that need to be changed but John's plan also includes a proper patio in her front yard as well. Down the street, Vicki's daughter's elementary school Winnona Park also benefits with a new entry way. In this special episode, we're not only bringing this block together, but also improving the environment for local students.
New side entry way for Winnona Park School.
