Sometimes the Decatur Focus will make a “mistake”, just so I don’t feel so bad when I slip up and call a shrimp a crawfish or something.  I must say I appreciate this effort (said the narcissist).

But seriously, there is a date error for a very important event in this month’s Focus.  See this press release from Linda Harris…

The date of the public input session on the results of the recently completed Decatur Historic Resource Survey is incorrect in the October Decatur Focus. The correct date of the meeting is Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 7 p.m. at Decatur City Hall located at 509 N. McDonough Street in the City Commission Meeting Room.

The meeting will be a presentation of the survey results including the methodology used and a discussion on future plans for Decatur’s historic resources.

Additional questions regarding this correction or the Decatur Historic Resource Survey should be directed to Regina Brewer at regina.brewer@decaturga.com or (404) 371-8386.

If your a history and/or Decatur buff (or you just want to know why people were taking pictures of your house recently), I don’t think I’m over-selling by saying that this is a “can’t-miss” meeting where we’ll hear a summary of the city’s recent historic inventory.

Also, if you’re looking to brush up on your Decatur history prior to the meeting, read though the city’s South Decatur Historic Survey, completed in 1987.
