Hmm. Well, I did love Tupelo Honey when I lived there, and knew the owner a bit from its opening. But as someone who lived in Decatur, then moved to Asheville for nine years and came back here… careful what you ask for. Asheville is a pretty place to visit, but became a place I did NOT want to call home over those nine years.

I just figured out what this is all about. All this restaurant shopping can only mean one thing… Decatur must be preparing to annex Asheville.

Want a great breakfast in Asheville? Don’t want to wait 1.5 hours for decent, but not great, food? Try either of these places the next time you’re there.

You don’t have to worry about East Lake. That’s City of Atlanta. And have you ever seen this from Forbes 4 years ago? I had the pleasure of telling Commissioner Larry Johnson about it at a neighborhood association holiday party in Candler-McAfee: http://www.forbes.com/2008/12/08/towns-ten-economy-forbeslife-cx_mw_1209dying_slide_10.html

When they say they are likely expanding to “Decatur”, do they mean City of Decatur or Postal Decatur? Because I would certainly want East Lake or Snapfinger or Candler-McAfee to get the credit for this if they are the intended location.

Same here – on our last visit my wife and I had to resort to the place next door called Mayfel’s as the wait at Tupelo Honey was too long. Mayfel’s was good very good as well – great food and service.

Love the help wanted signs. They something to the effect of “Hate your job? Hate it less here.”
