Decatur Beach Party now called Summer in the City . . . Where Beach Meets the Street.
WHEN: Friday, June 16 • 5-11 p.m.
What do you get when you combine the Decatur Beach Party, a
cultural community festival, and the Brick Store Pub’s 20th
anniversary? An exciting, beach-themed, performance-rich celebration,
now known as Summer in the City . . . Where Beach Meets the Street. Come
and celebrate this new take on the annual Decatur Beach Party,
featuring pop-up cultural performances, a special Brick Store
anniversary cake, and much, much more. Admission is free to the
community.
Old Favorites
The event will bring back some Beach Party favorites,
including the 60 tons of sand, kids activities, and a wall for rock
climbing. A rockin’ band, Bogey and the Viceroy, will perform live from
the stage on the MARTA plaza beginning at 8 p.m. The band consists of
New Orleans native Bogey Thornton and the troubadours of The Viceroy, an
eight-piece band covering classic soul from every era, along with retro
rock/pop and today’s current chart-toppers.
Pop-Up Performances
A variety of pop-up performances, artists and activities
will include the Apu Inka Peruvian Band, MBond Afrika African Dance
Group – plus stilt walking, fire twirling, sidewalk chalk art, and more.
DJ Quasi Mandisco will spin records and direct attendees to the various
festivities as they pop up.
Three Taverns Beer and Funnel Cakes
The event will include plenty of funnel cakes, kettle corn
and other carnival food for sale. Beer from Three Taverns, wine and
soft drinks will be available as well. All the restaurants will be open
for business and many will serve special Summer in the City menus.
The Gates Are Gone
Traditionally the Decatur Beach Party, as the Decatur
Business Association’s annual fundraiser, was a ticketed and gated
event. This year, thanks to our sponsors, the gates are gone, entrance
is free, and the program has expanded to include more performances and
activities. There may be some charges for a few of the activities such
as the rock climbing wall and souvenirs such as light wands. Visit the
Decatur Beach Party Facebook page for more information.

Undate Info on Northlake Mall
I missed this from last week.
update info on Northlake Mall
From: http://www.tonetoatl.com
New owner "committed to project."
update info on Northlake Mall
From: http://www.tonetoatl.com
New owner "committed to project."
I have received a number of emails and comments about the status of Northlake Mall. To that end, I followed up with Tony Ruggeri, President of ATR Corinth Partners, the Dallas based firm that purchased Northlake Mall in early 2016. Mr. Ruggeri says he and his firm are "committed to the Northlake Mall project" and that things are progressing, albeit slower than he or residents may have hoped.
A
20 year veteran of the commercial real estate industry, Ruggeri has
developed, redeveloped, owned, and managed over 2 million square feet of
commercial real estate.
Northlake
Mall, originally built in 1971, was for much of its life owned by mall
powerhouse Simon Property Group. The 962,000 square foot mall is
located off I-285, bordered by Briarcliff Road, Henderson Mill Road and
Northlake Parkway, and is today anchored by JCPenney, Sears, and
Macy's. (Former anchor Kohl's closed last year.)

Steel City Pops Coming to Decatur
From: http://www.tonetoatl.com/2017/05/exclusive-steel-city-pops-secures-first.html#more
Popsicle purveyor coming to Decatur.
Although as recently as this past December, Wong was "testing" dishes for Big Boss at his Westside eatery Le Fat, plans for the 312 Church property have been abandoned. I spoke to Wong earlier this week and he confirmed that "we are not moving forward with that project."
Wong first announced plans for Big Boss in 2013, but since then, he has opened Le Fat with Mike Blum, Ton Ton in Ponce City Market and One Rooster, also in partnership with Blum, on the Westside. Wong is no doubt plenty busy with his new restaurants, as well as his original Miso Izakaya, so perhaps it's best that he hold off for now.

On April 25, 2017 City of Decatur Mayor Patti Garrett, the UMCH President and CEO, Rev. Hal Jones, and Debby Stikes, Chair of the UMCH Board of Trustees, met to sign the sale agreement for the $40 Million purchase of the approximately 77 acre UMCH property adjacent to the southeastern city limits of the City of Decatur.
Mayor Patti Garrett said, “We are so excited to keep this project moving forward and I am proud to be able to represent the Decatur City Commission in executing the contract that will start the process of making the purchase happen.”
Proceeds of the sale will support the UMCH mission in new communities according to Rev. Jones, who said “we are committed to reaching out to, and serving, the alarming and growing number of children and families who are in crisis. The sale of the Decatur property helps us expand this ministry across North Georgia.” Board Chair Debby Stikes added that “preserving the Moore Chapel and the gravesite of UMCH’s founder Rev. Dr. Jesse Boring was very important to the Board, to members of our alumni group, and to countless others across North Georgia who partner with us in this ministry. We are delighted with the City’s support in honoring the memories created on this property.”

From: https://www.facebook.com
When:
Saturday, April 1 at 3 PM - 6 PM
FREE
BRING YOUR BEST FRIEND OR WORST ENEMY Come join the rest of the world in this annual international event!!
Where to meet: Grant Park corner of Cherokee Ave SE and Sydney St. SE.
Check out skysthelimitclub.com for more cool events.
#pillowfightdayATL
This is a free event for adults and kids but donations are appreciated to keep us going.
Even when one is liberated by a free event, it is still important that certain bad behavior like violence be minimized.
Soft pillows only and absolutely no feathers or you will be thrashed after it breaks.
Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once.
Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras.
Remove glasses beforehand!
The event is appropriate for all ages.
Wait until the signal to begin.
Cleaning Up
PLEASE BRING A GARBAGE BAG AND/OR RAKE to help keep the park clean.The ideal pillow fight would leave no trace of its occurrence .
Ideally, the community will police itself if people become aggressive, and there will not be much to worry about. Again, we have never heard of police arresting or ticketing anybody in relation to a public pillow fight.
People will make new friends, re-unite with old ones, meet future lovers, and revel in the blissful one-ness of a free, fun, social gathering.
It is best to estimate that the pillow fight will last up to 2 hours when comrades grow weary.

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken the Memphis based chicken chain that entered the Atlanta market in 2015, is planning to open in Decatur later this fall. Sources at the restaurant confirmed to me this week that they plan to open in Belvedere Plaza at the corner of Memorial and Columbia Drives, across from the former Columbia [Avondale] Mall, which is today a Walmart Supercenter. Technically the restaurant is not in the City of Decatur but nonetheless the Belvedere Plaza eatery will be the group's "Decatur" location.
