    The Google Machine tells me it's on Franklin Road. It's in an ethnic shopping center, so you know it's legit.

    $30/month get you $13.50 rounds (1 beverage included). Cart rental separate. Free range balls. I think rounds are normally $40. I think its a fantastic deal when you include free range balls.

    Never went there, but Pho Dai Loi is the best pho I've had. I mean I went there with some Asians and they said it was top notch. It's nice when you have somebody Vietnamese and ordering for you.

    Just did the 3 hour class with my wife. Honestly had a ton of fun. The instructors at the studio are also very good, chill guys. They are patient and into teaching others. They dont act like annoyed/pompous "artists". Plus every step is hands on...much more that i thought going in.

    Anyway - unique thing to do. Lot of fun.

    I know Franklin Road well, almost fell through the roof of an apartment community there during due diligence. Good hole in the walls and a Cracker Barrel nearby. Also, home to the former bar where Travis Tritt got his start.

    Oh, one more thing so appropriate for Stuhly's birthday. Marta broke down all together this morning. The issue that single tracks the trains at MLK went full blown and shut down all east-west traffic. Fuck Keith Parker and MARTA for blatantly neglecting a re-occuring issue that pops up 2-3 times a month. Should have encouraged him to leave for Washington for someone who will make legitimate improvements.

    Internet speed race heats up with AT&T announcement
    Posted on April 13, 2015By collinIN Business, IN The Loop

    [​IMG]The race to bring faster Internet speed to Atlanta heated up today as AT&T announced it would bring GigaPower to the city. The AT&T GigaPower network will feature speeds up to 1 gigabit per second. AT&T home and small business customers in Atlanta and surrounding cities in the metropolitan region, including Decatur and Sandy Springs, can sign up for the service today.

    AT&T’s announcement comes on the heels of Google announcing it will bring ultra high speed Internet to the metro area, while Comcast is also planning to upgrade its network.

    The cost of AT&T GigaPower isn’t cheap: $120 per month for standalone service. U-Verse customers will have options to bundle and will also get faster Wi-Fi.

    “We’re excited to launch in these cities as the first locations where we will offer ultra-high speeds to local consumers and employers in the area,” said Beth Shiroishi, president of AT&T Georgia. “The AT&T GigaPower network will help encourage economic development in the area by facilitating a new wave of innovation through enhanced opportunities for education, health, research and small business growth.”

    The success of the first AT&T GigaPower market in Austin led to a major expansion beginning in 2014. AT&T is considering expanding its all-fiber network to up to 100 cities and municipalities across 25 markets.

    For more information, or to check availability, please visit att.com/gigapower.

    haha it is amazingly sketchy for Publix standards. Always homeless ppl fighting with each other. Sense of impending violence in the sub line.

    Really, Ponce from that point down to the halfway house across from Zaxby's is just polluted with loitering.

    The portion of O4W from Midtown proper to Boulevard has been weirdly sticky in avoiding the improvements all the surrounding areas have enjoyed.

    That international shopping center at Franklin and 120 is the best place in Atlanta to buy Middle Eastern bread. Other than that I have no reason to venture up there.

    Bauerfeind USA to relocate and expand in Midtown

    Orthopedic technology company Bauerfeind USA will relocate its headquarters to Midtown and expand.

    Bauerfeind, a subsidiary of Germany based Bauerfeind AG, develops orthoses, medical compression stockings and orthopedic supports used by athletes and others.

    Bauerfeind, currently headquartered in Marietta, has leased more than 7,000 square feet at Promenade, according to a filing with the City of Atlanta. The company, which declined to comment, is not expected to relocate its warehouse operation to Midtown.

    In 2010, Bauerfeind opened a store and performance center in Marietta where the company demos diagnostic technologies.

    Bauerfeind has been an official supplier to the German Olympic teams since 2001, according to the company website.

    In Marietta, Bauerfeind leases about 34,000 square feet, including warehousing space, according to a real estate source

    In a meeting this morning, the Mayor ranted at nearly his entire cabinet about how the City just lost a potential employer looking to relocate 700 jobs to 129 Peachtree (?) in downtown. Appartently, the company head called the Mayor to let him know that he wasn't comfortable putting 700 employees downtown due to the "dirty streets" and "homeless population and panhandlers." Just thought I'd pass along.

    Before you ask, I forgot the company name and I don't know where they went (probably Cary, NC or some shit like that).

    I suppose the question I'd pose is... has the homeless situation gotten better, worse or about the same in the last five years? I know the County has had to shut down some facilities but...

    191, Philip Johnson was the Architect, one of my favorite towers in the city and just amazing architecture.

    About the same. It all started when the public housing was redeveloped for the Olympics in 1996, they actually bused people to other cities and out of town. Then, they started moving shelters away and pushing to other neighborhoods. Woodruff Park has always had a problem and then south of Marietta towards the capital and jail. It's going to take new development and private money to move them alltogether. As recent as last year, a church on Candler Road and Memorial, believe St. James AME tried to open a shelter across from East Lake. Neighborhood hearings and everything. No way they were doing that without a financial incentive. They were basially importing homeless into the neighborhood.
