Is there anyway for you to gather [info about] who is open for us Decaturites?
Chris Billingsley reported in a few minutes ago that both the Baby Kroger and the Church Street Animal Clinic were open as of this morning.
Has anyone else been around downtown and can report back?

U Joint is open and packed!
Per Facebook, the Square Pub is open.
Square Pub tweeted that they are open.
From what I’ve read on Twitter and Facebook, Dancing Goats, JavaMonkey (until 4:00), Taco Mac, Mac McGee, and Square Pub are all open.
Also Farm Burger… FB will be open reg hours w/ half priced ice cream floats & our $8 lunch combo all day long!
Hubby reports that Farm Burger is open.
Highly unlikely that The Marlay House will open today. Not enough crew live within safe walking distance (yet).
Brick Store Pub is open and hoppin’.
Creative Loafing tweets that the Square Pub is open.
Does anyone know if the post office is open?
I don’t think the mail ran today–did it? If not, that would be the first time I remember it not running due to weather. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, nothing stops the US Mail!
Nope and no newspaper either. OSHA put the kaibosh on that neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail stuff. I think I saw the Decatur Post Office open but that might have just been people going in to check their boxes.
There were several times when we lived in Virginia that the mail did not run.
Whoops, a bit late in posting that.
Decatur Diner perhaps?
Got an e-blast from McGowan’s Pub in Oakhurst saying they are open regular hours today.
Brick Store and Sushi Avenue are open.
near dekalb medical….pizza hut, big lots, and churchs chicken are open….everything else is closed. churchs said they were only going to be there for a few hours, and its only drive thru, but you can ‘walk thru’.
thanks all, just saw Starbucks was open, in addition to those listed above — and CVS.
Just got an email that McGowans is open.
Java monkey. But I gotta say, Monday’s don’t get any better than a high gravity @ brick store for lunch!
No answer at Dancing Goats and Starbucks has closed for the day.
Community Q!
Kavarna in Oakhurst was open early this morning. I stopped over CVS an hour ago and was closed. Be careful driving out there!
Kavarna still open this afternoon!
And who has a backup generator if/when the power goes out during the game tonight?
If you see someone in an Auburn sweatshirt sprinting toward the square looking for a place with a tv on because my power went out, that’ll be me.
Just remember, Brick Store may be open but they won’t be letting you watch no stinking tv!
I’d head west of the square and run straight to Taco Mac first if they are open.
There’s two guys sitting in the front booth at Decatur Diner so I assume it’s open as usual.
Damn. You beat me to it!
What is up with that place? I’ve never seen people actually eat in there. Is it the Greek Mafia or what?
Mezacalito’s in Oakhurst is closed…
What would be really hilarious is if everything in Decatur were closed *except* the Decatur Diner.
Decatur City Schools are now closed tomorrow!
Aaargh. Missing one day of work is no big deal. Two days is stretching it….
Is your workplace not closed?
If it’s anything like mine, the physical office is closed, but there’s an expectation to work remotely. Tell that to my 3-year-old … Darn internet …
Exactly! They say to be safe but come in to work if at all possible and work remotely if you can’t come in. Well, a lot of work and meetings cannot be done remotely. But deadlines and work expectations aren’t changed. So one pays in evenings and weekends for snow days.
This will get old real quick. I remember my first year, 1976, and we had four days of close to zero temperature. CSD made the decision, along with most systems in the metro area, to close for the rest of the week. For a first year teacher, I thought that was pretty cool and headed to the mountains. But in the good ol’ days, most school systems had to make these up! Losing part of spring break was bad but the worst part were two Saturday school sessions. I believe we only had to attend until 1:00 but talk about a miserable bunch of students and teachers, especially me.
I don’t know who it was that discovered that little calendar trick where the state did not require a system to make up all snow days but but whoever you are, bless you.
Chris, I remember cooking scrambled eggs on the gas grill in 1973. I think it was 7 days without power.
Four days w/o power in 2000.
Five days in late 1995 or early 1996.
Yep, that was October 1995 after Hurricane Opal. I had an 8-week old and my house burned down that week. I remember it well.
Ooooh. And I thought I had it hard being exceedingly pregnant at the time. You win!
Opal in ’95 was bad, and made even worse by the fact that I lived in Harwood condos at the time. Part of the complex was on the same grid as Emory, Yerkes and the hospital so they had power restored within hours (or at least that’s what they explained to us). The rest of us were out of luck for about a week. We threw one hell of a prolonged hurricane party though!
On the train heading downtown decatur. Apartment complex streets where too icey,had to walk to station. Sounds like we might luck up and find something open. Anyone know if Baby Kroger is still open??
Little Kroger is open but it sort of feels like the Star Wars Bar. “He doesn’t like you. I don’t like you either!”
Heh heh—- I see I’m not the only one who calls it “Baby Kroger.”
heads up for monday night~ Farm burger closed as of 7:30. so much for open regular hours that they posted earlier today. bummer since we planned on it and walked a long way.
