UPDATE: In the comments, Gwyneth points out this is the same door as back in July.

Laura and Mary recently sent in pics of a new “tiny door” along West Ponce near the old Chocolate Bar spot in the Artisan.

You may recall that FMFats sent in a pic back in July of a very similar door at this location.

Mary followed up with Tiny Doors Atlanta on their Facebook page.  They replied, “We like it! That one isn’t ours, but it’s nice to know that people are feeling inspired! :)” #tinydoorsatl”.

Hensen] said. “This is a major issue and is not a decision to be made in the next two months because we’re not at the place yet where we understand what it means for our county.”

DeKalb County Schools recently released a report that details the impact and complexities of an Atlanta annexation on DeKalb County Schools.
