“New Orleans-Style Snowball Cafe” Coming to Cafe Cliche Space

Decatur Metro | May 27, 2010

Crowdsourcing Streetlife

Decatur Metro | May 27, 2010

Check out how this group in Oak Cliff, TX – outside of Dallas – revived a whole darn block with just $1,000, prompting the city government to invest $130,000 to make their temporary oasis a permanent reality.

For more info on how they made it happen, CLICK HERE.

Former DeKalb Superintendent Indicted

Decatur Metro | May 27, 2010

The AJC reports…

Former DeKalb County schools superintendent Crawford Lewis and three others, including former chief operating officer Patricia Reid, have been indicted on charges they ran a criminal enterprise that sent millions of dollars to Reid’s then-husband and others.

In exchange for steering school construction work to Reid’s former husband and other vendors, the school officials and Reid’s secretary received cash, sports tickets or other perks, DeKalb District Attorney Gwen Keyes Fleming announced Wednesday.

More HERE.  And even more on Atlanta Unfiltered.
