      That’s a CSD Mom on the cover shot! They forgot to mention it specifically but CSD Moms rock!

      That video makes me proud to be a Decatur business owner. Well done.

      Wow. That’s really nice work. Did anyone ever watch the previous videos that were part of the city website welcome page? They were all shot on the dreariest possible days by some national company and they lacked any personality or real sense of Decatur at all. As Left Wing might say, “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING.”

      I love all our great strengths they focused on here: indie-business friendly, creative, great beer, great food, festivals, history, even our happy little schools. Muy bueno.

      That’s really cool! Do we know who produced this?

        We worked with Renae Wolter and Clout, LLC. The website is getclout.com.

      Echo the sentiment of being very proud and fortunate to call Decatur (Oakhurst) home. Great video, captures exactly what the city is about “mayberry meets berkley” – perfect

      Really well done — this captures the delightful essence of Decatur.

      That was great, but it could have used a little more cowbell? And where are the zombies? The warm fuzzies are taking over this town.

        The warm fuzzy zombies, you mean…and yes, it COULD have used more cowbell. I have a fever, and the only cure is more cowbell!

          I put my pants on just like the rest of you — one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records!

      Wow. I guess I live in a purty nice place. But I agree. We needed some zombies playing some cowbells to tell the real Decatur story …..
