From the AJC yesterday…

A Major League Soccer expansion franchise is coming to Atlanta.

An announcement is scheduled for April 16 in Atlanta, a person with knowledge of the situation said Sunday. The Atlanta team would become the 22nd franchise in MLS and would open play in 2017, which is also when the new $1 billion downtown stadium is scheduled to open.

I linked to a Decaturish post about this a few days back – which hundreds of you clicked on – but I’m still receiving a few inquiries asking about the rumors they’ve heard about return of Crescent Moon Brunch.

Well, here’s the full brunch menu!

And here’s a release I received a couple of days back.

Sunday April 6, 2014, Crescent Moon’s legendary Sunday Brunch is back!

Rob Atherholt, previous owner of Crescent Moon, has brought back your favorite Moon Brunch goodies to Oak Grove!

Sunday Brunch features Benedicts such as Arnold’s Eggs, Huevos de Diego and Popeye’s Plate, along with the breakfast standards that Crescent Moon was known for. Challah French Toast, omelets and heaps round out the offerings. A full line of espresso drinks, Bloody Marys and Mimosas are brunch favorites as well as a full bar with several local beers.

Brunch begins Sunday, April 6, 2014, 11-3. Join Us!

The Decatur City Commission has scheduled its public hearing regarding the Parkwood neighborhood’s request for annexation during this evening’s meeting.

The commission recently completed and made public a report that estimated the cost of annexing the neighborhood over the next 5 years.  While the city’s costs were minimal in comparison to tax revenue, the school system projections showed increases in student populations over the first 5 years.  The report estimates that initially 14 new students would be added to the school system with the annexation, though those projections rise in subsequent years.

The commission also has a “tree ordinance update” on the agenda during a 5:30p work session.  UPDATE: City Planner Amanda Thompson tells us that the city will present the Commission with the revised tree ordinance based on the feedback given by the Commission in March.
