Church Street Gets Its Own Spread in June Issue of Southern Living
Decatur Metro | May 29, 2013
Chris points out that Church Street is featured in the June Issue of Southern Living. Can’t find any link for it yet, so here’s a photo of the page from the magazine. Homegrown, Houndstooth Road, Leon’s, Green’s and Paper Plane all get a mention!

“Its”
Oooh, that was ugly. Thanks.
“Its” was used correctly, btw! Great notoriety for Church St/Decatur.
No, not initially. Thanks though!
I hate correcting grammar, and I hate having my grammar corrected. But sometimes I just can’t help myself. Thanks for being a good sport.
Grammer Nazi!
You mean Grammar Nazi.

So I’ll be that guy too…

oh all right, while you’re at it you can change “can’t find any link for a yet” to “can’t find any link for it yet.”
Ha! And here I thought I’d gotten better with all the errors, but it was just you all being nicer! Who knew?
Never start a sentence with “And.” Also, it’s pronounced, “y’all.”
Too Northern to attempt y’all.
I knowingly ignore the “and” rule. It adds to the casual nature of the site, which helps differentiate it.
This reminds me of a scene in Finding Forrester:
Forrester: Paragraph three starts…with a conjunction, “and.” You should never start a sentence with a conjunction.
Jamal: Sure you can.
Forrester: No, it’s a firm rule.
Jamal: No, it was a firm rule. Sometimes using a conjunction at the start of a sentence makes it stand out. And that may be what the writer’s trying to do.
Forrester: And what is the risk?
Jamal: Well the risk is doing it too much. It’s a distraction. And it could give your piece a run-on feeling. But for the most part, the rule on using “and” or “but” at the start of a sentence is pretty shaky. Even though it’s still taught by too many professors. Some of the best writers have ignored that rule for years, including you.
Just bustin’ your balls (as a northerner, you will understand this).
piling on…
12 responses and they all focus on grammar?!?!??! Who are you people?
I think it’s way cool that Church Street gets a shout out from Southern Living — it’s a great street and it deserves the recognition.
“12 responses and they all focus on grammar?!?!??! Who are you people?”
We’re a bunch of pedants who live for finding and correcting grammatical errors. We also enjoy ignoring the whole point of the original post, and increasing the count of unrelated comments.
Yup. Now, is it Walmart? Or Wal-mart? Maybe Wal*mart?
Telling the obvious?
There should be a comma after “Green’s” in the last sentence.
-Punctuation Nazi
Sez you. May the Oxford comma forever be a source of disagreement, debate and discussion.
And…it’s Greene’s.
I’m so glad I’ve given you all something you can agree upon. It warms my heart!
Can we agree which side of the street we’re on?
You mean you’re glad to give us all something we can agree upon.
We can keep going longer than you can and we have you outnumbered, anyway.
Whatever. You know how long I’ve been doing this? I don’t even like to think about it at this point.
That may just be the tacos…
Are you sure it isn’t the taco’s?
