Don’t you mean Jake’s Toadhouse. ;P
Jeff, thanks for the correction. I’ll take your word and Google’s… the spelling has been fixed.
Nice to know the antiques store is staying open and in the neighborhood. Does anyone know what is being built on the site of the old Mrs. Winner’s next to Home Depot?
I heard it is another auto parts store.
Yep, looks like Advance Auto.
Frozen Yogurt store.
Advance Auto Parts.

Any word on Last Chance?
Any word on Suburban Frames moving to Laredo Drive? Hancock Fabrics and That Pottery Place still staying?
That Pottery Place has already moved to North DeKalb Mall.
Suburban Custom Awards and Framing has made the move to spacious new digs on Laredo Dr. (And check out their handy website– who knew?!)

(No other updates to report right now.)
I will totally miss Last Chance Thrift Store
I love Last Chance too, and I’m rooting for them to land somewhere nearby. Fortunately, this particular branch has thrived in 3 locations (originally on 78 in Stone Mountain and displaced for Lowe’s), so its folks know they can do it again. And this time, they’ll do it knowing they have lots of devotees who’ll follow them! :0)
I have faithfully shopped at all three of their locations!
Me too!!! So much so that I’ve about run out of room for treasures! (Not that it’ll stop me from junquing! :0)
There are many other Last Chance stores around metro Atlanta. I do hope that this one relocates somewhere not too far away. Is everything in that shopping center going away?
I suppose people can pull the Stop Walmart signs from their lawn now?
Oh no ! They’re ready to file a lawsuit – haven’t you heard?
But what about the Diaper Depot. Everyone needs diapers (it seems)
Meanwhile it looks like the Walmart in downtown Athens is no longer a thing: http://flagpole.com/news/2012/dec/12/loop/
We very much appreciate the mention in the Decatur Metro – just to clarify a point about Decatur Estate & Wayback Antiques – we will continue to be open at Suburban Plaza until our new location is ready to go! I’ve got alot of renovations to do just to get a CO to open. I hope to be in the new location sometime in March. It’s been a wonderful 12 year run here :).
