Whenever you get a bunch of Decaturites in a room, they’ll eventually say “You know what this town needs? It needs an XXXXXX!”
Well, there are some folks bringing something very much like XXXXXX to town. I’m not saying what it is, but there’s an announcement coming in the next week about Decatur’s new cool c…ultural entity.
In the meantime, put November 20th on your calendar. Trust me on this.
Such a tease.

Ahhhhh, the suspense!!!! No hints? Or is the c…ultural entity a hint? Hmmm.
Independent movie theater?
Monster truck rally? Cool.
Could it be a c….inema?
Please be a cinema! Second choice: Monster truck rally.
Film fest?
Evening dancing to an orchestra on the Marta plaza?
That doesn’t begin with a “C”!
I think it’s a cat cafe. I’m always telling strangers that’s what this city needs. I also like to bring it up at commission meetings during “reports and other business”.
Maybe I’m not buying in to the C hint. Could be a McGuffin.
But if you want to roll that way:
CIA outpost?
previously undiscovered Cave Dwellings in Marta tunnel?
Comedy Club?
Comic book store?
CANNABIS DISPENSARY?
“CANNABIS DISPENSARY”– yeeeeeeeee HAWWWWW!!! Bring on the brownies, baybee!!!
Ok then, a ‘cotillion’ on Marta Square, non?
You know, I was drinkin’ at Eddie’s last week, and there was a guy at the bar, pounding Jaeger shots. Out of nowhere, he ups and says, “what this town needs is a cotillion.”
I’m In for the cotillion. I still have my gown. Not sure what happened to my corsage.
Baavo, MikeC. I struggled to come up with a C word. Cudos to you.
Thancs! That’s why they call me … MikeC
C…afe? C…heeseburger emporium? C…aribbean restaurant? C…roissant bakery? C…offeeshop? C…redit union? C…harcuterie? C…ulinary store? C…D shop? C…at mascot?
Oh, wait … we already have all of those!
Trader Joe’s? The Decatur Diner opening?
A giant C…anopy to block the sun on Ponce.
A C…athedral with a bell tower for hourly chimes.
A marina for C…atamarans.
oh…a C…offee shop. I get it now.
PMcG, I was in Seville with me sister last year, and they had giant canopies over many of the town squares. Very nice.
I read that as Snellville twice. I need a vacation.
Seville is a great vacation destination. Snellville? Maybe not so much, but certainly cheaper!
I wondered why the heck you’d go to Snellville and pay that much attention.
I totally read that as Snellville too! I was so confused.
Sevilla is one of my favorite cities in Spain–love the Andulusia region!
You already scooped him, DM. It’s a cantina.
You are all forgetting about the one thing DM wants more than anything else: a c…o-op!
… with the word ‘sustainable’ in the name…
I would LOVE a cinema & drafthouse!
Gets my vote!
XXXXXX=CINEMA or a 6X strip club, one or the other.
I made that joke originally in my post, but then took it out!
Proudly Self Moderated?
Don’t we already have strip clubs just outside of town, on Ponce, on the way to the Farmer’s Market?
Let’s see, it’s gotta be something somewhat literary, since that’s Wang’s thing.
Comedy club or cinema seems likely. Are they going to show movies in the Decatur High School auditorium? Convert one of the abandoned grocery stores into a movie theatre?
The reputed Dollar General?
C—at house? C…athedra/?
Chai cafe. Chocolate bar (but we had one of those)
Chocolate FACTORY?
Coffee plantation.
Chicken farm?
Cabaret?
Concert club? Concertina club?
Cake-decorating Competition
Ohhh. I’ve GOT IT!!!!
Cycling Cinema Cabaret Club…It’s a way to keep Decaturites fit. Everybody gets on a bicycle, and the pedaling powers the projectors. The snack bar has PowerAde and Cliff bars, and you burn off the calories while you pedal. Yep, this is definitely what they’re going to announce.
Feeble minds think alike?
See the copycat below
my downtown decatur wish list-
Decatur Diner to open!!!
movie theater (however i always go to the plaza anyway so i don’t know why i keep wanting one here)
a Trader Me to take over the little kroger
game/comic/general nerd store
Dollar General?
Maybe a Burlington Coat Factory to go right next to the Dollar General? That would be awesome.
Why is Wang promoting XXXXXX porn now? Is this even legal?
How about a C- ostco at Northlake, to go with the spiffy new Marshalls? Red shoes should sell well on November 20
Monster truck second.
Sorry – I meant to write North DeKalb. Spiffy new Marshalls at North DeKalb.
Surely this must be a big announcement about a collaboration between the Red Shoe and Agnes Scott…..but, where does the “C” fit in? I know…Co-eds!
Maybe this is off the “c” subject, but what’s happening in the Emile Baran location?
Soon to reopen as The Cello Cornucopia. With a sideline of Cymbals. And clarinets. And concertinas.
Yes, both the Trader Joe’s corporate office, and the location scout folks at Costco called me this week and told me about their plans to locate here in Decatur.
Closer to Cello Cornucopia than Costco.
I wonder if someone in Decatur finally figured out that the Decatur High School auditorium might be a good venue for an occasional movie (or movie festival?) that might draw some of the ASC and Emory faculty and students that we referenced in the WSJ article post the other day. So I throw my vote with Karass and say C is for CINEMA …
Has anyone mentioned C…at house?
please let it be a clown college.
This was the first time i laughed on this thread!
cornucopia catering?
If this is indeed referring to a cinema, where would it go? There’s already that quaint old cinema in Avondale that just needs a proper restoration…
Yes, let’s reopen the cinema in Avondale! And offer $3 movies.
Wonder if that business plan would actually make money?
Well, the theater on Ponce works on basically a co-op format, I believe. They sell membership/sponsorship packages.
If you’re referring to The Plaza, your assumption that the co-op model works may not hold up for much longer, unfortunately. They’ve been barely scraping by for quite some time.
COMICS SHOP COMICS SHOP COMICS SHOP.
(either that, or a brand new CREDENZA.)
id looooooooooooooooooooooove a comics/game shop
So what is it?
