11Alive’s Doug Richards did a nice piece on Decatur after USA Today ran its recent feature on the American Planning Association’s Great Neighborhoods being great spots for business travelers to check out.

The segment also includes a nice, little interview with Jenny Levison of Souper Jenny, as she works to open her new spot in the old Pita Pit space (Google streetview).

I’d embed the video in this post if I could, but I’m having some trouble making that happen for some reason.  Something funky with 11alive’s code, I think.

Sycamore Street, Decatur GA

SteveC sends in this pic of filming on the Decatur First property yesterday.

The city’s Katie Abel tells us that Lila and Eve – a movie starring Jennifer Lopez and Viola Davis – was shooting in the city this week.  Filming wrapped up yesterday.

Feel free to use this post to make comments and ask questions about local issues not discussed here over the past week.

Comments close on Monday.
