Active Living Director Dan McGee writes in to let us know that the city is offering a smorgasbord (my word, not his) of new aquatics programs this summer. Click here for details on all of this year’s adult and kid classes along with info on pool memberships, fees and rentals.
Dan also notes that in addition to the Glenlake bathhouse opening next Friday, improvements are also coming soon to Ebster pool – the only city pool with a diving board and deep end!
Lord help me, I’m going to try to move DM to a new server this weekend.
In order to accomplish this, I’m going to have to redirect the url “www.decaturmetro.com”. This might take a day or so according to the powers that be, so if you get to DM – as I assume most of you do – by typing in “www.decaturmetro.com” you might not be able to access the site this weekend.
The alternative, and original url for DM is decaturite.wordpress.com and that should still work to access the old version of the site. Once the url is redirected to DM’s new home, the old site will be abandoned. If and when that happens, I’ll make sure to write up a post that redirects you to the new site.
So please, if you’re checking in this weekend, have patience. Things might not be working properly.
Why move? Well, I’m pretty limited with what I can do with the current site in terms of themes, plugins and layout right now. The new site and server should allow me more flexibility with the site in the future. Once we’re at our new home, you begin to see gradual improvements to the site. But don’t worry, my one vow is to keep it relatively clean.
Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it.
For all my talk about mass transit, I, like most people, still use a car on an almost daily basis. And the Emory BP has been my go to station. Close and relatively cheap compared to everything else in the vicinity.
Welp, it looks like I’m about to start paying more to fill up. Maybe this is a sign that I should finally go diesel/bi0-diesel.
A reader sends in parts of a note that was just sent out to Emory staff…
“… the BP station in Emory Village has been sold and will close as of June 1, Emory University did NOT purchase it, … did not know what plans have been made for that property.”
Just wondering if you have any leads on who purchased this property and what the plans are?
Also, fyi, here is the remainder of the email detailing the Emory Village project and future plans for this summer and the rest of the year:
“…The water line project in Emory Village is complete. Georgia Power will now begin the process of burying overhead utilities, including electricity, cable TV, and telephone. This phase is expected to begin in June and extend into fall, perhaps through the end of the calendar year. The work is scheduled to take place mainly between 8pm and 5am, but will nonetheless be disruptive. DeKalb County has gone to bid for construction of the roundabout, with an anticipated start date in August, and a one year duration. So it looks like Emory Village will be a mess for another year…”
Linda Harris sends in this snazzy announcement…
But will there be flaming shots?
As a self-certified, fake journalist, I promise you an answer to this most pressing of fake questions. I swear on my diploma from Blogger University.
Since I gave the last score such prominance, it’s only fair to give the reinspection the same.
Steve from Taqueria writes in with word that upon reinspection Taqueria got a 93A by the health department.
Very glad to hear it!
Mark wrote in earlier this morning inquiring about a police car and a smashed window down at Twist & Scoot. I was trying to be a “journalist” and get details from DPD before posting, but Rebecca wrote in with the details before I received any response.
Twist n Scoot got hit this morning at 4am with a smash and grab. They used a huge rock to get in the front door, and only took their computers.
A few notes from around the city…
Anything else?
