    3. Jennifer or Carolyn at Gibbs & Mabe. Great lawyers and good people too.

      http://gibbsmabe.com/

    5. Had a meeting two days ago at West Court Square for exactly the same thing with Liz Osborne (eosbornelaw.com). Very impressive and very reasonable.

    7. Lionel Hutz

      Works on contingency
      No money down

      Sorry, that should be:

      Works on contingency?
      No: Money down.

      1. “This is the greatest case of false advertising since my lawsuit against The Never-ending Story.”

      1. A hearty second on the recommendation for Paige Stanley at the Law Offices of Paige Arden Stanley. Winnona Park Stud has referred friends and neighbors to her; all reported back with glowing praise for the quality of her work and reasonableness of her rates.

    9. I practice law exclusively in this area, just moved my office to downtown Decatur, and will be happy to help you. See godbeycummingslaw.com for contact info.

  4. Can anyone recommend a good local upholsterer for a small, one chair project? Thanks…

    1. It’s been a few years, but I’ve had good results from Custom Slipcover & Upholstery on Ponce across from the YDFM. They have small selection of upholstery that they sell at exceptionally good prices or you can shop around and bring in your own fabric.

      Their shop is around the back left side of the building they’re in. It’s kinda goofy when you drive up, but they’re very friendly and capable.

    2. I used Weed’s Upholstery in Tucker, two years ago I think. He’s up Lawrenceville Highway on Fellowship Road. He was reasonable and quick and did a great job — though if you need someone to hold your hand while you dither over fabric choices, he’s not the one for you.

    3. Trillium Upholstery in Tucker. Nice folks, and they can pickup and deliver. 404-501-0254

  6. When the Trinity Triangle project is complete, will we have to look at the big grey parking deck from College Ave, or will it be hidden behind a facade? It looks terrible.

    1. Pretty sure there will be apartments on that side too. It’s a construction site. They are messy.

      1. No apartments on that side. No one would finance leasable space against the tracks. Hoping it still gets a decent facade treatment, though, and not just bare concrete but I haven’t seen a rendering from that perspective.

        2. If that is the case, I wish the parking had been designed with planters so it could be a wall of green… maybe that is still possible?

        3. Seems that the Downtown Development Authority would have required/seen a rendering of that side when they approved the project. Can the city supply that?

          1. Even so, remember that there is no official authority over the exterior appearance of a structure unless it’s in a local historic district.

            1. I’m curious as to what the developer showed the city for the view from the south. Was it anything like what we see now? Or did they offer a rendering with 75-year-old trees hiding the structure?

              Understand that DDA is supposedly only an advisory group and that the city economic development and planning group may have “no official authority over the exterior appearance of a structure,” but surely they had some leverage. After all, the DDA helped the developer get a break on DeKalb sewer impact fees.

              And the city has its own guidelines for these developments that could have been applied more rigorously. For example, one of the standards for approval of downtown multiple dwelling projects asks, “Are the building materials and design of the proposed development consistent with the architectural character of downtown Decatur?” I know developers have recently added three of these auto temples to Decatur, but does that mean pre-cast concrete is now part of our downtown architectural character? A second standard asks, “Is vehicular parking for the proposed development underground?” The city could have easily taken a hard-nosed approach to having the developer meet that standard and gained some influence over the appearance of the garage. And in the Special Pedestrian Area, a multi-level parking garage is supposed to have a three-foot setback above the first level. Looks like the planning group gave the developer a pass on that requirement.

              In light of such generosity to the developer, is it that unreasonable for the city to ask for design considerations in return, especially at a primary entry point to the downtown area?

  8. Does anyone who attended the info session on the Avondale MARTA TOD last night have any details to share?

    1. Mostly a presentation of the proposal, pics of which I’m guessing are available online. City emphasized the long range (read, like, 20 years) nature of the plan. Lots of concern from residents over the traffic that might impact Derrydown Way. One good idea of note: a gentleman challenged MARTA to begin offering a special local reduced fare pass for round trips between the Avondale and Decatur stations to better utilize onsite transit.

      1. The idea of distance-measured pricing has been discussed previously. At one point I recall it being related to the installation of the Breeze Card system that replaced tokens. Not sure where the implementation stands now but it sure would be nice. Works well in other cities, Washington, DC for one.

        1. The Breeze system would allow distance and time based pricing if MARTA ever chose to do it.

      2. Is the 20 year figure for completion of the entire development? I thought I remembered reading something about construction beginning this year.

        1. Yep, it’ll start this year and be done in stages over time. The whole thing won’t be done at once.

      3. I like the idea of distance- based fares on the rail system. I take the train to Inman Park on occasion, but at 5 dollars a round trip, it’s not significantly cheaper than Uber. I usually do the train there and Uber back. For those familiar with the D.C. system, what does it cost to go one or two stops?

          1. Thanks. A quick glance at that shows the cheapest off-peak one-way fare to be $1.75. I could see that being a bit less here.

  10. Need the young man”s phone number that does pressure washing. And, yes, I should have written it down before.

  12. That would be Jacob at 404 309 9863. I don’t think we’ve mentioned his name on DM for at least a week or two, so we’re overdue. Had him out to our house for some work recently. Great job as always.

  14. There was a traffic incident in front of Decatur High School just before 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21 involving a car and a teenager on a bike. The police were not called to the scene. If you were a witness to the incident, please contact me through DM.

    1. Sincerely hope no one was hurt. Lesson to teens: always call the police. I learned that painfully once when a snowplow backed into my car at a gas station, I drove home, and my father was never able to get the snowplow company or gas station to admit what happened. Of course, back then us teens were not armed with phones.

  16. Why is the driveway to Decatur High School permanently closed?
    Please do not say it is for “security”.
    It just seems silly to have to drop off kids way out on the street when that awesome driveway is there with the generous overhang to keep kids dry.

    1. I have always wondered that too but figured that the congestion and teen hijinks just did not mix well.

    1. Ha, ha. I didn’t realize that we were sharing a house. Can’t wait to hear the answers.

  22. I need a kitchen cabinet maker and cabinet painter, please (2 different names is fine)

  24. Can anyone recommend an exorcist? The last one I used just gave the demon all my Pocky and let it soil the carpet.

    1. Damian Karass. Unorthodox, and sometimes it seems as if his faith waivers a bit, but he gets the job done.

  26. Woodlands Gardens has canceled this weekend’s Second Annual Youth Artist Market because of the impending rain and thunderstorms. The Market is rescheduled for the rain date which is next Saturday, May 2nd from 11am-3pm.

    http://www.woodlandsgarden.org/youth-art-market-postponed-to-may-2nd/

    Be sure to check out their Online Birdhouse auction happening through this weekend too.

  28. Can anyone recommend a roofer / gutter cleaning person that they’ve used for gutter guard installation?

  30. Anyone know why the address numbers on Ponce change sides of the street when you cross Clairmont? Even numbers are on the south side east of Clairmont and the north side west of that intersection.

      1. How does that explain why the numbering system changes so that odd numbers move from the south to the north side of the street?

    2. You’ve encountered two of the infinite number of Ponces.

      Nominally they are called East Ponce de Leon Avenue and West Ponce de Leon Avenue, but whatever the name they are never the same Ponce that I experienced just the day before.

  32. Where is all of the FFAF complaining and re-visiting of old topics?

    All of this “looking for a recommendation” posting business is BORING!!!!

    1. I can’t come up with much, but since today is senior skip (half)day* and tomorrow is the prom, I’ll throw those out as topics of discussion. There was a terrifying article in the Washington Post about “promposals” yesterday and my observation is that nothing like this is going on at DHS. In fact, prom seems to be less of an expense/big deal than it was when I was in highschool– no limo (they are taking uber), no hotel (everyone goes to Waffle House after), a lot of the guys aren’t wearing tuxedos and the “fancy” restaurant is not that expensive. Anyone else with a junior/senior have a similar/different perspective? (And this isn’t a complaint at all– DHS is a wonderful wonderful place for kids… even if there is no place to park because of all of the new learning cottages!)

      * The school wisely has a rule that you can’t attend prom if you miss more than half a day. But I still think a half-day as a skip day is lame.

      1. Our experience is also that prom can be a fairly relaxed experience at DHS. IMHO having the option of a less intense, less expensive, and probably safer prom night is a good thing. But then again me and my senior HS friends organized a cool (or what we thought was cool), prom alternative so I’ve never been a fan of exorbitant, extended prom nights with all-night associated parties and the occasional car crash and other senior tragedies.

        1. Because they have all Sunday to recover/sleep in? I dunno, but today it was because Senior Boards were last night – presentations on senior projects (graduation requirement).

          1. If our high school isn’t teaching our kids how to be clever enough to skip school for a whole day and get away with it, then what chance do they really have for success?

  34. Anybody know why they continue to broadcast loud bird sounds from the Devry Bldg. next to the square? Who would one talk to to ask them to re-visit the policy?

  40. Google street view has been updated for much of Decatur with images from December 2014.

    1. Our StreetView is from Halloween…apparently on trash day. Glad my lawn was mowed. My decorations look good!

  42. Recently, we were told that dogs are no longer allowed in the outdoors seating areas at Raging Burrito. They explained apologetically that there was an incident involving a child at the Brickstore and Decatur is banning dogs from all outdoor dining areas. We haven’t checked with other Decatur square restaurants to see if their policy has changed as well. We love sharing a meal with our pup on a nice day so it’s a sad development. Anyone else experience the same at other restaurants?

    1. That’s weird, as Decatur plays no role in enforcement. DeKalb County does that. Dogs on patios is and has always been a health code violation but a number of Decatur restaurants have chosen to interpret and address it in various ways. There’s typically been light enforcement until a citizen complaint is filed. Then they act.

      1. Decatur/Dekalb. A report must have been filed when the “incident” occurred, then strict enforcement thereafter. At any rate, it’s a sad turn of events. Having dogs around adds to the convivial atmosphere, along with children.

      2. Can’t blame a dog for being a dog or a kid for being a kid. No, the culprit is a society that demands physical restraints on one but not the other.

      3. I guess if we have to assign blame, it was probably the owners of both that were at fault.

  44. A cautionary note for those patrons of the retail establishments in Commerce Square (corner of Ponce and Commerce, anchored by the CVS). Apparently the owner of the parking has contracted with Castle Parking Solutions (CPS) to boot “unauthorized vehicles.” This arrangement and new policy just went into effect yesterday. Earlier today, I drove with my dog to CVS to pick up a prescription. Upon being told that the Rx would be ready in 10 minutes, I decided to take my dog for a quick walk across the street. I was gone no longer than 5 minutes, and when I returned, my car had already been booted. I found the CPS attendant (who had watched me leave CVS and get my dog, yet said nothing), but he refused to remove the boot unless I paid the $95 fee. I explained the situation, and even had the CVS Store Manager come outside to confirm that I was in fact an active patron during the time the boot was placed on my car. He still refused to remove it. I called the Decatur Police, but the responding officer was unable to do anything as this is a civil matter. I was left with no option by to pay the $95 fee. The officer did offer to add a statement from the Store Manager in her incident report, which I will include in my appeal of the $95 fee. Needless to say, I’m not optimistic that CPS will refund my money. The BBB website is loaded with negative reviews of the company, and it’s impossible to reach a live person on their toll-free line. I’m disgusted by the predatory nature of this company in general, and the attendant’s utter lack of discretion and judgement in particular. I also can’t help but to think that CPS’s activities will have a negative impact on the stores around Commerce Square. I welcome suggestions on how best to bring this to the City’s attention.

    1. “I also can’t help but to think that CPS’s activities will have a negative impact on the stores around Commerce Square.”

      Your story is certainly enough to make me less likely to go there. That’s ridiculous.

    2. If they are going to enforce that aggressively, I bet they clean up during football season when people park there and walk to Taco Mac.

    3. Thanks for posting this. I’ll use other locations of CVS and the credit union, and find another dry cleaner, until that absurd situation changes.

    4. That is so counterproductive for the businesses there. On many an occasion, I’ve needed one thing badly which is why I’ve parked there, e.g. something at CVS or to withdraw money from Delta. Since I’m parked there anyway, I’ll do a bit of other shopping, maybe cross the street to pick up some deli items at Sawicki’s then back to CVS plaza to get croissants at Pastries-A-Go-Go, and some cute Easter items at Seventeen Steps. Now, I’ll be scared that I’ll be booted if I go back and forth across the street. I’ll just get my one CVS item and leave or maybe go to the CVS across from DeKalb Medical which never boots anyone.

    5. I don’t know the gentleman with the dog (DM) who posted above, but we drove up in the aftermath of his car being booted, and I chatted with him briefly. I was sufficiently concerned from this conversation that this is predatory behavior by Selig’s contracted parking enforcers, that I waited with our car while my husband went to CVS. Booting on private property is illegal in several states, and I have witnessed similar predatory practices in the UK, which are being addressed. I have complained to CVS on their site: No, they don’t own the lot, Selig does, but I suspect Selig is more likely to pay attention when CVS complains than we do.
      By the way, I stopped by later today, and saw another couple waiting with their car and the parking attendant, apparently to get the boot removed (presumably on immediate production of cash) BTW, I emailed Decatur Metro about this via your Contact email address, but my email was returned. Would love to supply more info.

    6. Sorry to hear about your ordeal, but it seemed only a matter of time before these drastic actions take place. That parking lot is always full. The “enforcement” must be the same situation as the tiny lot at Highland and Monroe. They watch a patron leave the lot and boot immediately. We figure the attendant gets a cut of each incident to incentivize sitting in a parking lot all day. Your appeal to reason was valiant but futile in the face of greed.

      Thank you for letting us know so we can avoid the center all together.

    7. I think DPD needs to rethink their approach. Simply saying “this is a civil matter” ensures that the booting company has free reign to boot anyone, legal or not. The cost of filing and serving a lawsuit, even in magistrate court, would be much more than you could recover. Booting a car improperly IS a CRIMINAL violation as well as a civil one. It is trespass to property, at a minimum. DPD does have authority to stop it. It just appears to be a question of whether they want to.

      1. I fail to see the illegality in booting a car on posted private property. Not defending the complete lack of manners, but it seems they’re withing their rights. I may be wrong and am open to someone showing me Georgia law that says it’s a criminal offense.

    9. ” I welcome suggestions on how best to bring this to the City’s attention.”
      Tell Development Director Lyn Menne.

    10. I wonder if you’re able to rent a boot, then you could slap it on their vehicle and claim you’re doing a “citizen boot” since you were witnessing them in a lot for businesses which they were not shopping from.

  46. I think Selig Properties is who needs to be contacted since they manage and or own the center. It’s not CVS who is in charge.

  48. I have always been interested in cemeteries. As a young boy growing up in Decatur during the Fifties, I would visit the old Decatur cemetery and wonder about the people buried there, the well house and the flags and flowers that would appear in April. Since that time, my appreciation for the Decatur cemetery has grown immensely but also for the hidden cemeteries around DeKalb County.

    One such cemetery is the Webb cemetery at the corner of McAfee Road and Meadow Lane in south DeKalb. You would think that a cemetery located on busy McAfee Road would be easy to find but it is now almost completely hidden under English ivy, shrubs and other weeds. It is also a dumping ground for trash and old tires. Recently I took a closer look to see if I could find any of the graves that historian Franklin Garrett described as a young man (I’ve read that as a boy, Garrett rode his bike throughout the area and recorded every grave in DeKalb, Atlanta and much of Fulton County!). One marker at the Webb cemetery is clearly visible but many others have disappeared, either hidden under debris or stolen. It appears that the early history of this area has been ignored and forgotten. How sad.

    Tomorrow, April 26, is Confederate Memorial Day. Originally it was celebrated with parades of old veterans, speeches by local dignitaries, and the placement of flags on graves of the Confederate dead. These flags were popular in the Decatur cemetery when I was young but since that time, it is a rare sight. When I was still teaching at Decatur High School, I remember walking home through the cemetery and seeing maybe twenty graves marked with Confederate battle flags. I was so impressed that I convinced my son Wilson to visit the next day only to find that every flag had been removed and dumped in a trash container. I was angry but really this should not have been a surprise. Decatur has changed a great deal over the past fifty years and respected traditions of the past seem foreign to many living here today.
    This is a shame because the Decatur cemetery is rich in Confederate history. Two Confederate soldiers killed during the war, Andrew Marshall and Absalom Blevins, are buried near the well house. Mary Gay, who wrote a book on the history of Decatur during the Civil War, is buried close by. She was a fierce defender of the Confederate cause and may have been “UnReconstructed” to the very end. Colonel John Prather is buried near Miss Gay. He led the 8th Confederate cavalry as they attacked Union forces near the cemetery during the Battle of Decatur in 1864. Confederate officer Robert Alston is also buried near the well house. After the war, his condemnation of the convict lease system, a new form of slavery, led to a duel in which he was killed by Edward Cox, who is ironically buried nearby. Some of my favorite memorials are located in the new cemetery. The original marker of Carolus Simpson’s grave, who served in the 3rd South Carolina infantry, simply states “Confederate Veteran”. Also in the new cemetery, surrounded by many of Decatur’s “Greatest Generation” killed while serving during World War II, is J.R. Jones. He was born in 1845 and served as a private in the 8th Georgia Cavalry. He was 100 years old when he died in 1945, most likely the last Confederate soldier buried in the Decatur cemetery. Oh, the stories he must have told during his long life!

    The City of Decatur and the Friends of the Decatur Cemetery honors these soldiers on Veterans Day in November by placing an American flag on their graves. This is a beautiful event that involves hundreds of volunteers, many of them young children. I support this effort but also feel that there is nothing wrong in honoring CSA veterans on April 26. Theirs is a unique sacrifice, defeated in war but also a proud and important part of our history. Their sacrifice and bravery on the battlefield should be honored in the future as it was in our past.

    I propose that one year from now, a group of volunteers be allowed by the City of Decatur to raise funds and purchase flags to be placed on the graves of Confederate veterans buried in the cemetery. In my opinion, the flag should be the “Stars and Bars”, the model for the current Georgia state flag. Unlike the Confederate battle flag, which some associate with segregation, the Stars and Bars is a better symbol for use in present-day Decatur. I look forward to working with others to help restore a Decatur tradition and honor those who fought for the Confederate States Army. Until that time, I will remember April 26 in a mostly private manner, flying the Stars and Bars at my Decatur home next to the flag of the United States of America, of which I am most proud to be a citizen of.

    1. “I support this effort but also feel that there is nothing wrong in honoring CSA veterans on April 26. Theirs is a unique sacrifice, defeated in war but also a proud and important part of our history. Their sacrifice and bravery on the battlefield should be honored in the future as it was in our past.”

      Ok, good. Is this the part of our past that is referred to as “the War Between the States” or “the War of Northern Aggression”?

      1. I like to refer to the actions of people like Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis as “Treason in Defense of Slavery” myself.

    1. Meh. Chris B. is the one calling for putting up a bunch of Confederate Stars and Bars flags up as part of “Confederate Memorial Day” in a long nostalgic post talking about “the unique sacrifice” of CSA veterans, whose battle to secede from the USA he calls “a proud and important part of our history.” Robert E. Lee, who was an officer in the US Army, took up arms against the USA in support of the CSA. Sounds like treason to me. And the war was about slavery. If you don’t believe me, google “The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States” and see what the people involved in secession said.

      1. Dearest, we can debate all day. There is no reason to drag up the past history of the South. If some people choose to commemorate the graves of soldiers, then what is it to you? Is he using public money? Public workers? No, a private commemoration of a sad time in our past.

        Personally, I find the use of Decatur cemetery as a filming location of horror movies much more distasteful. But that puts money in the city coffers and money is all that matters nowadays.

        1. “No reason to drag up the past history of the South”.

          In other words, it’s fine to commemorate those who died for the wrong cause, but ” hateful” to point out that the cause was wrong?

          1. Does anyone need it to be “pointed out” that slavery was wrong? It seems fairly well established at this point.

            1. “I remember walking home through the cemetery and seeing maybe twenty graves marked with Confederate battle flags. I was so impressed that I convinced my son Wilson to visit the next day only to find that every flag had been removed and dumped in a trash container. I was angry but really this should not have been a surprise. Decatur has changed a great deal over the past fifty years and respected traditions of the past seem foreign to many living here today.”

              Angry that confederate battle flags were thrown away.

            2. Not what I said. It needs to be noted (because of the particular way this history has been taught in the South), that the soldiers were enemies of the U.S. fighting for the wrong cause, regardless of how honorable they thought they were.

              1. Still relevant: http://www.theonion.com/articles/georgia-adds-swastika-middle-finger-to-state-flag,8998/

        2. Right, BrianC. IMHO, it’s really odd to say that we shouldn’t be dragging up the past history of the South when the issue is whether we should be putting up Confederate flags to honor the noble sacrifice of CSA veterans. The history is relevant here.

          1. The Oakland Cemetery graves of Confederate soldiers are marked with flags this weekend as well.

            1. Have you seen that? In the past, a ceremony was held at the Lion memorial with large flags, but the individual graves were not marked.

              1. I have not personally seen them this year.
                From FB comments related to an original post about today being Confederate Memorial Day. Includes a comment from an experienced Oakland Volunteer:

                Person 1: Now I know why all the flags were on the Confederate graves at Oakland Cemetery yesterday. Thanks
                1 hr · Unlike · 2

                Person 2 (Volunteer): And there’s a ceremony this afternoon in Oakland.

      2. How about some commeration of the Southern abolitionists of the time? Or would that make it harder for some to pretend slavery is only an evil when viewed from a present-day perspective?

      3. +1. Today these so-called heroes would be rightly known as enemy combatants. Let’s not forget that many of those who survived the war or were too young to fight in it went on to help establish Jim Crow, the KKK, etc. Their descendants, literally and figuratively, were the same people who spit on black kids for daring to seek an education.
        Sacrifices for the “Lost Cause”? How about the ” Wrong Cause”?

          1. Did a quick search of your exact question and here’s the link to the first hit. The question ties to German treatment of WWII vets and basically says they do not distinguish between sides. Glad use asked so I could be better informed and know that the attempted comparative jab was a fail.

            http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=597057

            1. Complete fail considering the Nazis weren’t defending the institution of slavery.

              1. You do know the war is over, don’t you? Some of y’all seem to still be fighting.

                Have none of you seen the reunions of the soldiers of both the North and the South that used to be held? Peace and reconciliation were the words of the day. And these were guys that had been shooting at each other a few years before.

                Maybe some of the more strident should look within themselves for the cause of their anger about an event long ago.

                1. What does that have to do with, in 2015, displaying the symbol of a failed rebellion that has strong associations with the defense of slavery?

              2. “Complete fail considering the Nazis weren’t defending the institution of slavery.”

                FWIW, they were. See Dachau, Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen, etc.

                1. It was only a matter of time before this thread violated Godwin’s law, I guess. In fairness, the camps weren’t so much centers of slavery as they were straight-up mass murder. That’s not to say that the Nazis weren’t making slaves of conquered peoples; they were, on a massive scale.

                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labour_under_German_rule_during_World_War_II

                  1. I was thinking the same thing re: Godwin’s law, which is why I hesitated for a day to say something. But Bin Birru’s statement was so off the mark, I felt compelled to respond. My ancestry demanded it.

                    1. Agreed that the comment above was off the mark. But to back up to the original question, I think that Sharon’s reply above to FM also misses the mark: FMFat’s question was specifically about putting *Nazi* flags up on German WWII veteran graves. And since Germany outlaws the display of Nazi symbolism, I’m pretty sure they don’t.

                      So I don’t think anybody would object to doing things like putting flowers on the graves of all soldiers on “both sides.” But the Nazi flag in particular is a symbol of a really monstrous regime, so putting up Nazi flags would seem to honor the Nazi *cause.* And given the continued use of swastikas by skinhead and fascist groups, as well as the association it has with the Nazis, it’s better to avoid it anyway.

                  2. There is one way in which the Nazi comparison is apt: it’s undoubtedly true that plenty of Nazi soldiers fought bravely for a cause they believed in too.
                    BTW, I think it’s always worth noting that Gone with the Wind was one of Hitler’s favorite movies.

                    1. I’m not black or Jewish, but I imagine the emotions might be similar for an African-American seeing a Confederate flag or battle flag in a cemetery and a Jew seeing a swastika in a cemetery.

          2. Nazi symbols are banned from public display in Germany. Because of the ban, some contemporary Nazis substitute the Confederate Battle Flag for the Nazi flag.

            1. Interesting. Didn’t know that about the Confederate flag being used as a proxy for the swastika in Germany. Think I’ll try to find an image of that and post it.

              1. DM, was it the one particular word on that billboard or the whole image that got it deleted?
