    An Inside Look at Decatur’s Soon-To-Be Courtyard by Marriott

    Decatur Metro | December 14, 2011 | 10:11 am

    Dun, dun, dun.  Dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun…and so on.

    It looks like the Decatur half of the AsianCajuns covert-ops-ed it into the soon-to-be Courtyard by Marriott on Clairemont Ave and took some pics of the under-reno interiors!

    CLICK over to the Visit Decatur blog to see all of her stealth photos and marvel at how she took pictures of lots of people who obviously had no clue she was there! (I’m pretty sure she was hanging from a zip-line when she took the above pic.)

    Dan nah nah…dan nah naaaah.  Dan nah nah, Dan NAH!

    Fox5 Visited Decatur Square This Morning

    Decatur Metro | July 12, 2011 | 10:18 am

    The AsianCajuns’ Lauren Lee points out that Fox5 was bubbling it up around Decatur Square this morning as part of their week-long “Be Square” series, showcasing town squares around metro Atlanta.  One of the three segments is featured above.  If you can handle the correspondents’ intense level of interest in all things Decatur, there are two other segments – with one featuring the AsianCajuns! – HERE.

    Community Book Wheel!

    Decatur Metro | April 30, 2010 | 8:31 am

    Why go to the bookshelf when the bookshelf can come to you! (Or transport you to far away corners of a flat surface.)

    The AsianCajuns send along this link, which demonstrates the odd versatility of a book wheel and ask…

    How ’bout a circular walking bookshelf for our community version? Just imagine people taking a spin on one of those on the MARTA plaza while trying to avoid the stairs.

    I can see the emails now.  “Hey DM.  Come get your dang book wheel off our patio!”  “Hey DM, thanks for making miss my kids soccer game.  Someone backed traffic all the way up to the Post Office because they couldn’t get back up Ponce to the Square in your silly book wheel!”

    Finally, we’ve finally found a way to combine two of Decatur’s favorite things: books and transport!  Sure you could also just read a book on the train, but who the heck rides trains anymore? :-)
