The following article describes why an Atlanta Bread Company in Gainesville, FL went out of business:

The one in Gainesville was also really run down like the one in Decatur.

It would be great to have 5th Earl in that space. I miss them!

The one thing we all always talked about was that the lady behind the counter seemed to hate her job. You could never order, pay, and get out fast enough for her. I hope she has a job she likes now.

The Senior Citizens in Philips Tower depended on ABC as one of the closest walking cheap eats. They also depended on that location to rest & get a snack. Me too.
A bagel store or Ducks will clean up in that spot. Like the Deli or basic diner idea,too. Would prefer an independent. I think it is important to have a mixture of “trendy, gourmet” eateries and more affordable basic options.

To we who can walk easily, it seems Subway isn’t that much further. For the very elderly with aching feet, they will stay home. ABC was a definite draw mentioned by potential rentals as we tour apartments. Also consider we have more college students in town than ever who need a wifi hang out to study in without breaking them. Jurors and jurists need a quick, decent lunch option, too.

We will remind our residents of the other options. Please remember that Decatur is about citizens of all ages and income levels. If any restaurant or store owners would would like to offer our residents a discount, please call or stop by.

East Decatur is vibrant and they are the perfect cornerstone business there.

I think an awesome vegetarian friendly restaurant like those in Asheville would be an excellent addition to Poncey-Church.
