Oakhurst Church Changes Name
Decatur Metro | February 27, 2013Pastor Timothy Lloyd sends along this press release…
In the midst of a dramatic increase in attendance from across the eastern half of Metro Atlanta, Oakhurst Church is changing its name to Eastside Church. Thechurch remains in its location at 630 East Lake Drive, near Family Dollar and Harmony Park.Since the church opened in August 2011, regular attendance has nearly doubled, to about 150 per week. Some members live in Oakhurst and surrounding neighborhoods such as Kirkwood and East Lake, but many come from farther away. At a recent service, church officials displayed a Google Map that visually represented the geography of the church’s current membership. The dots on the map were distributed throughout the Eastside of Metro Atlanta.
It’s Literally A Free For All Wednesday: What Are You Reading?
Decatur Metro | February 27, 2013Dave is stuck in Kansas City (a likely excuse!), so he suggested we put up a “What are you reading?” open thread, which I think is a great idea, since it seems that so many folks enjoy the end of year “Best Books” thread.
So, here you go….what are you reading? And/or what have you enjoyed reading lately?
Free, Reliable Decatur Wi-Fi Coming To Public Spaces in March
Decatur Metro | February 27, 2013From The Decatur Minute…
Beginning March 1, Decatur will be offering free public Wi-Fi in several public spaces: downtown Decatur, the Oakhurst business district, Oakhurst Park, Glenlake Park, McKoy Park, and Adair Park. These spaces are ideally suited for work and play, and now users can count on a reliable Wi-Fi signal free of charge!
Residents and visitors will now be able to stay connected with their smartphones, tablets and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices while in these community spaces.
I believe the way this wi-fi will be different from the old Decatur wi-fi, is that not only will it be “reliable”, but it also it would be provided at a faster speed and there will be no time-limit. I’m sure the city will correct me if I’m wrong!
