The City Manager responded saying “We had discussions with the organizers of the Briarcliff city hood efforts and they were open to amending the map to reflect the City of Decatur’s interests.”

Avondale Estates is talking with representatives of the neighborhoods to its west to Katy Kerr about annexation. The souther border would be Columbia Drive and the northern border would be E College. They already have annexed the business strip on E College.

Kind of like “Falcon’s Crest” or “Knots Landing”

I do like the name “Briarcliff” though. Has a certain elegance to it.

The map appears to follow N Decatur eastward to Lawrenceville Hwy and then out to I-285. If correct, that means neither Northlake, nor North DeKalb are included in Decatur, but the Publix strip mall and Suburban Plaza are.

I don’t see anything happening this year, either, especially with election season upon us. We’ll see. Don’t be surprised if they come out in full force next year, though…
