    Interesting! From the AJC’s Bill Banks in the Friday County-by-County round-up….

    The so-called “erector set” property on College Avenue and Maple Street in Avondale Estates, long a city eyesore, was recently bought by Euramex Management.

    The sale was confirmed by real estate broker Pierce Owens of Cushman & Wakefield, which previously owned the property.

    A two-story unfinished building whose construction was stopped in 2008, the erector set will be replaced, according to city manager Clai Brown, by a first-level retail and upper-level residential development.
