The city sent this around earlier today…

Want to learn more about the proposed Unified Development Ordinance (UDO)? The City Commission has two work sessions, one tonight and one Wednesday, to go over everything it includes. The community is welcome to attend one or both work sessions and listen in, but please note that there will not be an opportunity for public comment at either of these meetings.

 

The work sessions are Monday, Sept. 22 and Wed., Sept. 24 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. in the City Commission Meeting Room, City Hall, 509 N McDonough St.

As some of you noted in last Friday’s FFAF, DaVinci’s Pizza – which currently has a location along West Peachtree in Midtown – has begun hanging signage where Mellow Mushroom once resided along West Ponce.  (Reference my terrible picture above.)

From Decatur PD’s Sgt. Jennifer Ross…

On 09-22-14 at 12:56 am, Decatur Police responded to the corner of East Trinity Place and North McDonough Street in reference to a robbery.  The complainant/victim stated he was walking in the area and two males approached him from behind.  One of the males punched him and told him to give up his book bag.  The second male then began to hit victim and demand the backpack. The victim took off his backpack and gave it to the suspects who fled eastbound towards Church Street.  The victim then realized his phone, wallet and cash had also been taken during the robbery. 

A witness came forward and advised an officer he had seen two males running into the Decatur MARTA station’s Church Street entrance.  City of Decatur officers as well as MARTA police checked the MARTA train station.  Officers located two males matching the description on the train platform.  They were in possession of a backpack matching the description of the backpack taken from the victim.  The victim positively identified the two males as the suspects who robbed him.  The victim sustained scrapes and bruises.
