I work near Compund, which they own and every event night there surrounding area is trashed, people are getting in fights and the only thing you see around are hoochie mama's and wanna be thugs. I live near Sams, you would think Chamblee would want to go along the line of Brookhaven and clean up and improve the city, not make it ghetto. Chamblee already has a not so great image.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-73143839110404295662015-12-02T22:17:41.248-05:002015-12-02T22:17:41.248-05:00I remember when the Kmart opened.

In fact, I can't imagine that Sam's Club even knows this is going to be a nightclub. I feel sorry for the neighbors. People are finding drug bags and used condoms on residential streets near those godawful clubs in Williamsburg Village.<br /><br />BTW, any idea what's going in where the Dollar General is vacating in Vista Grove?

Chamblee does have pretty late pour hours, but they also have a very active police department. You also have the added fun of that area being the meeting point of three police departments - Chamblee covers that lot and the southbound access road above Clairmont, Brookhaven covers both sides of Clairmont plus the southbound access road below Clairmont, and DeKalb covers Clairmont on the other side of the interstate. I foresee a lot of safety checkpoints operating in that area very soon.

Obviously, it's for permitting purposes that they go the "restaurant & lounge" route because it's easier to open a restaurant than a club that will have young drunk people leaving at 2AM. This space has visibility from 85 and shares a shopping center with Sam's Club. Clearly, this space is perfect for a chain. Yes, we all say "oh, another chain." But chains serve a purpose. I used to live less than a mile from that location and any decent chain should do just fine there. Roadhouse did seemingly good business and per this article closed due to corporate issues. From a quick google search, it looks like the company is only in CA & OR now. So if Roadhouse did well, how about Texas Roadhouse? Or even a Mexican chain like On The Border would probably do well. A Cracker Barrel would be another great option. Obviously, it's too late (for the next year or so until this new place goes under). Sometimes, simple is the way to go. Not every new business needs to be a trendy locally owned business.AJnoreply@blogger.com
