It’s back on kiddos!  From Little Shop’s blog…

Ms. Andrews will be here on Friday, July 9th at 6 p.m.

This event is a signing for her new book, The Very Fairy Princess. Ms. Andrews will not be doing a presentation and no photography will be permitted.

This will be a ticketed event, and availability will be limited. Little Shop of Stories will pass out tickets on Tuesday, July 6th, starting at 6 p.m. While tickets are free, you must purchase a copy of The Very Fairy Princess from Little Shop of Stories at this time to obtain a ticket.

Finally, an answer to Maggie’s question of what’s going into the old Moxie Java Bistro spot at 910 West College Avenue:  a new restaurant called “Isabelle’s Cafe”.

Here’s a description of the new eatery on the northern edge of Oakhurst from their webpage…

Isabella’s Café is a casual restaurant serving healthy, fresh, flavorful food that incorporates cooking techniques and flavors from across the globe.

The unifying element to all of our dishes is the artful use of spices and herbs in a manner that results in unique and delicious appetizers, sandwiches, entrees, and desserts.

Join us for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner paired with a fantastic South African wine. We hope to see you soon!

Since taking this pic nearly a week ago, I’ve been trying to get details on what in fact this leasing sign out front of 315 West Ponce means.  Everything I had heard ’til now pointed to the Trinity Triangle property being developed before 315 West Ponce, so it’s sort of surprising to see this on the site.

Is this sign up just to gauge interest in some unapproved retail strip of this development or has a construction date been set?

I don’t know, because the gentleman on the sign has not responded to my multiple attempts to contact him.

Easlan Capital’s website doesn’t provide any leads either, though it does show that they’re involved in development all over the metro.

Lots of buzz late yesterday and early this morning about an Atlanta police chase that ended in Oakhurst.

Eyewitnesses in this Oakhurst Message Board thread reported that the chase ended at 4th and Gorden, that Atlanta police were in resident yards with guns drawn, how the driver fled from the scene, and a report that the car was “easily doing 80″ down Pharr Road before the chase ended.

The AJC also has some details from the scene and a quote from the Atlanta police.
