The most recent Decatur Business Association newsletter announces the opening of Bean Work Play Cafe at East Decatur Station…

Bean Work Play Café is the new alternative for busy parents who need a place to work and flexible, safe childcare for their kids. With Bean’s opening in March, parents have access to a flexible work space, classes, workshops, networking opportunities and a vital community of smart and creative parents.

Children, ages 12 months–7th birthday, will enjoy a program that inspires learning and offers play dates on demand. Membership options are available, offering drop off hours, discounted childcare rates, class fees and a variety of other benefits.

Watch and marvel as I jump from electric cars to Atlanta beer in just three sentences!

Did you know that if you type “ev charging station” and your zipcode into Google Maps, it will now spit back the nearby locations of charging stations for electric cars?

The current map of Atlanta shows charging stations in some pretty random locations.  Like Georgia Power’s Corporate HQ, Weego Electric Cars, Northlake Mall (?), Jim Ellis “Auto Dealership”, Atlanta Segway Tours, Hartsfield Airport and Costco’s Morrow and Perimeter locations.  What a motley crew!

And if electric ain’t your game, but carbon emissions drive you insane – don’t forget about the bio-diesel station just west of Decatur on Arizona Ave.

And speaking of bio-fuel, researchers at Cornell report that they are hoping to use new knowledge about brewery waste to one day produce a new kind of bio-fuel.

And speaking of breweries, have you heard about Sweetwater’s recently announced expansion?
