10 DAYS OUT: WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Here is a list of things to do in and around Atlanta
I know this is not all Decatur stuff, but people who live in Decatur do have cars and I don't think their cars would stop running at the city limits, I think people who do read blogs or websites for information won't mind a little other news mixed in.
