Welcome to the new rink. Lots of fond memories of The Igloo on Roswell Road in North Buckhead, where Golden Buddha is today.

I don't get Marco's. Pretty boring pizza. With the Mellow Mushroom across the street they must be banking on delivery.

A new Marco is also going in at the strip mall on the corner of Peachtree Industrial and Winters chapel in that center filled with a Laundromat, Mexican grocery and Chinese restaurant. Very very cheap rent area but I believe they can bill this as "Dunwoody"

Sign went up Friday
