I would like to see something other than eateries, like unique clothing stores. How about offering something in the way of physical fitness we don’t have a LA fitness on that side of town. Or it could be any other type of fitness center that’s unique to that area. I love going out to eat but having an area with all different types of restaurants really does not excite me.

Contest this sentiment all you want - but literally every-time I am at Muchacho, I see neighbors and families that live on my block in the area. This is also part of living in a city with a vibrant economy - Atlanta is no 'small town usa', and so much of its change is positive and meaningful. If you want a certain kind of neighborhood then either pick a city that is non-dynamic in culture and economics, or plan to relocate at the same pace that our beautiful neighborhoods change. <br /><br />I will not be spending an entire amount of time at Madison Yards personally, however I DO intend to support places like Muchacho right across the street, as they are the first (commercial) beacon to our neighborhood on the new Beltline extension. The best way to maintain the aspects of your community, is to support them directly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-86010928922244514262019-03-21T08:23:09.882-04:002019-03-21T08:23:09.882-04:00You don't have to eat there!

The reason you are getting chains is because you priced out all the local mom and pops by overpaying for your home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-37351029543014158082019-02-21T10:27:56.081-05:002019-02-21T10:27:56.081-05:00They (D) are never happy ... constantly looking do...They (D) are never happy ... constantly looking down on "others" in the privacy and anonymity of their own walled in World.

Period. Hoots is going in there because they can afford the rent. Will they last 5 years? I doubt it, but that's beside the point. Radial went out of business because you didn't support it. Whether in the city center, whether elsewhere ITP, whether OTP, whether anywhere in this country, money talks. If you and your neighbors don't go, then they'll close. Doesn't mean a local place will go in. The rent will probably be too high. Take HomeGrown for instance. I love that place. Clearly many others do too. But they can never survive in a place like Madison Yards. The rent would kill them. Sad, but true. Be happy that you're getting some places to shop, eat and be entertained instead of just a big apartment complex. Dawn, it's hilarious that your think that because you live in Reynoldstown, that your neighborhood is so special and is too good for chains! Love them or hate them, without chains there'd be nothing. That shopping center doesn't get built without Publix and AMC - 2 huge chains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-62157297358870330462019-02-20T22:41:43.025-05:002019-02-20T22:41:43.025-05:00I am also disappointed that Madison Yards is looki...I am also disappointed that Madison Yards is looking like Anywhere USA, I moved to Reynoldstown for its unique qualities and personality. I will go to the Publix because it's a closer walk from my home (and the Glenwood Kroger is so bad) but I wish this development was less car-oriented and offered healthier options. Salata is a good start but if we must have chains, why not Zoes Kitchen? Get rid of Hoots (gag) and add Zoes instead, or a 365? If Decatur is capable of supporting these stores, not sure why developers don't think this part of Atlanta is too?? Homes are selling for $700k here but you still have to open your pocketbook, get in a car, and drive north of North Ave to get healthy fresh food options. Yes, this is super sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-31932111318887403202019-02-20T22:04:23.713-05:002019-02-20T22:04:23.713-05:00Dawn, did you RTFA?

Upgrades are proteins (smoked turkey is delicious!), avocado, etc. Basic stuff you would expect to be an upcharge. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
