From October’s Decatur Focus…

“Our restaurant owners asked us to explain why dogs are no longer allowed in patio areas.  The DeKalb County Health Department, the agency responsible for environmental health regulation of our restaurant industry, received complaints about dogs in outside dining areas.  As a result, several of our restaurants received citations and dogs are now prohibited in outdoor dining areas.”

This week’s Free-For-All Friday is sponsored by Intown Ace Hardware…

Joe and Dave began construction in 1984 and opened the doors of Intown True Value Hardware in the summer of 1985. Tony began working that summer at what he refers to as the longest part-time job in history. He became a partner in 1994 shortly before we made the switch to Ace Hardware.

Intown Hardware has been a strong supporter of the community over the years with an emphasis on the local elementary and high schools. This involvement has been rewarding for the store and its employees, many of whom attended these schools.

To celebrate this milestone, on October 2nd there will be food, fun and a 25% discount on almost everything in the store. Please come by so we can thank you personally for choosing Intown as your hardware store. Tony and Dave are looking forward to the next 25 years.
