Anyone here frequent the Peachtree location of Watershed? I’ve never been there. Curious as to how that location is doing, though.
I’ve been a few times and thought the food and service were very good. But it’s definitely a Buckhead restaurant now and doesn’t have the charm or feel of the Decatur original.
From the article on Atlanta’s bridges:
“Candidly, the list is so long it’s really not going to be a big secret,” Reed said. “Our (repair) backlog right now is in excess of $900 million. So we really do know the critical projects. They really are projects you’re not going to have a lot of debate about.”
Reed added, “We have four bridges that, by any serious engineer, are rated at or near the point of collapse, that are connected to central arteries in our city.”
Good thing, then, that the City of Crumbling Bridges just spent $100 million on a streetcar.
And travels 2.7 miles total, in a looping route.
The Old Fourth Ward would like to thank Congressman John Lewis for bringing home the bacon.
Hoping the streetcar doesn’t travel over one of the crumbling bridges.
