Eye on the Street

Decatur Metro | August 3, 2012

Trinity Place, Decatur GA (pic courtesy of Rick)

Rick also describes the crowd as…

Small. Well-behaved. Fun. Diverse. It appeared that about 1/3 of the crowd was photogs and reporters. A handful of protesters and camera guys were standing next to me on my side of the street. Did not see any protesters inside. Parking lot was full traffic moving along through the Drive-Thru. Passing cars were beeping and waving in support.

UPDATED: Power Restored, Scott Blvd Reopened

Decatur Metro | August 3, 2012

UPDATE:  The Decatur Minute is now saying that Scott has reopened.

Some of you are already discussing this in FFAF.  Here’s an update from The Decatur Minute…

August 3 • 9:00 a.m.

A power pole on Scott Blvd caught fire last night so the power is out on Scott Blvd from Willow Lane to Superior Avenue. Decatur Public Safety and Georgia Power are on scene and it is estimated that the repairs should take two to three hours. Be advised that the two in-bound lanes on Scott Blvd are blocked, so use alternate streets if you must travel in this area.

Check back for any updates.

The AJC reports that Fox Bros. BBQ’s main dining room, two vans and a car were damaged when a 70″ diameter tree fell on the DeKalb Avenue property yesterday.  Luckily no one was hurt in the incident, but the restaurant will remain closed at least through today.

On Fox Bros. Facebook page, they thanked Community Q for helping fulfill catering orders yesterday.
