    Outside of Decatur, at Which Three Stores Do You Shop Most Often?

    Decatur Metro | July 1, 2014

    This is a question that’s been posted on the city’s Open City Hall website since last September.

    There are 23 pages of answers on the OCH website, but it will still be interesting to compare answers here!

    “Splash of Olive” Coming to the Artisan

    Decatur Metro | June 24, 2014

    20140624-082743-30463725.jpg

    Gwyneth and Robert point out a new shop that’s hung signs in the window of the Artisan retail location next to Ted’s along Commerce Drive. Splash of Olive’s website only states what’s also shown on the sign, that they will be a “purveyor of fine olive oils and vinegar”.

    fidelity2

    Fidelity Bank is opening a second Decatur location at the old Decatur First Bank building along Commerce Drive.

    How do I know this?  Well, because FMFats sent us this picture.

    Decatur First Bank was acquired by Fidelity Bank back in 2011.

    Fidelity’s first location is at 160 Clairemont Ave.  That building’s parking lot is currently being developed into apartments by Paces Properties.

    “The Cask Room” Planned For Homer Simpson Plaza

    Decatur Metro | June 16, 2014

    900 west college

    What could this be?

    Among the items on the agenda for tonight’s Decatur City Commission meeting – approving a liquor license for “consumption on premises of beer and wine” to “The Cask Room” at 900 West College Avenue.  That’s the address of the strip which includes, among other businesses – Avellino’s (pizza), Ale Yeah! (beer), and Revolution Doughnuts (well…donuts).  The application notes the new business will “be located in the former yoga studio space to the rear of the commercial building”.

    No traces of the online of what “The Cask Room” will be, but it sure sounds interesting.
