Round two of Decatur's Dearborn Park cleanup competition


By Ty Tagami
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Despite the economic downturn, the organizers of what is becoming an annual park cleanup in Decatur are again offering cash to inspire volunteers.
Last year, Decatur-based Renewal Construction Co. gave $1,000 to the team that uprooted the most ivy, privet and kudzu from Decatur's Dearborn Park.
On Saturday, the company will again partner with Decatur and DeKalb County to host the competition, dubbed Park Renewal Day. Community members and officials from both governments will judge competing teams' plots. Renewal is donating a total of $2,100 to be divided among the winner and four runner-up teams, according to the event Web site, www.ParkRenewalDay.com. Last year, the event attracted 145 volunteers, and the winners donated their prize money to charity.

Vacant office space could take years to fill

I think Decatur is having this problem also, not only office space, but retail spots as well, good example is the old McDonough St. Market/Jakes Ice Cream shop, that spot is a prime location.
It's been a year since they moved out.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta is so swamped with vacant office space that it could take a dozen years to fill it all – and that’s if the metro area returns to the robust growth it had before the recession.
The glut of commercial space -- most apparent in Buckhead with more than 3 million square feet of empty space -- raises challenges to any thoughts of constructing new towers in metro Atlanta for years to come. It also underlines the difficulties building owners and managers face snagging tenants in a market with far more supply than demand.

Why would they get rid of the icon of a sign ?
They should rebuild on like it, don't you think.

Thanks to Greg for sending in this link, also see his comment for another link.
Atlanta, GA

The Toco Hills Theatre
3003 North Druid Hills Road
Atlanta, GA

Opened in 1964, this theater was almost a secret to those who knew it. Hidden in a small strip mall, it boasted one of the largest screens and seating areas in Atlanta. I think only the Fox challenged it in size while it was open.

It closed in 2000, after years of lack-luster attendance.

It was part of the Lefont chain of theaters, named after George Lefont, who often brought foreign-language and award-winning Cannes films to the city.

If you have any pictures of The Toco Hills Theatre when it was opened please send them in and I will post it for you. or any old pictures of The Toco Hills Shopping Center would be good.

Most people say TOCO HILLS but it's TOCO HILL
