Paula reports in a comment that the Decatur shop owned by Nelson Mandela’s former corrections minister, Pambili African Artworks, is moving out of it’s current location in the Artisan.

No word yet on where, but recently these “moving sales” have been a “move” to the virtual world.

UPDATE: Nope.  According to Carl, they’re only moving next door.

Sounds like more budget cuts and higher taxes coming from DeKalb County.  From the AJC…

In February 2008, the county adopted a $635 million budget. This year it’s lower by $29 million. And county finance officials have been projecting a gap of around $50 million between expected revenue next year and the current level of spending.

To close that gap, the county can cut spending and raise property taxes. [CEO Burrell] Ellis said both options were on the table as he was considering the final draft of his plan last week. He said he was aiming for a budget of between $575 million and $580 million — a decrease of about $25 million to $30 million from the current budget. “Without a millage adjustment, it would fall further than that,” he said.

Ellis is scheduled to release next year’s budget tomorrow.

UPDATE: From Decatur PD’s Assistant Chief Keith Lee…

Officers responded to the Wahoo Grill in reference to a reported bomb threat. Decatur Fire Department, and both MARTA Police and DeKalb County Police K-9/explosive disposal units were notified and advised of the incident. The business was evacuated and Decatur police officers along with staff members conducted a search of the restaurant with negative results. The scene was released to the management without further action.

FYI – someone called in a bomb threat to the Wahoo Grill around 130 pm on Sunday while my wife and I were having brunch. I really appreciate the calm way Wahoo’s management handled the situation. Unfortunately they had to clear the restaurant. The Decatur police were arriving as we left.

I’m trying to get my hands on some more details. Stay tuned.
