    Eye on the Street?

    Decatur Metro | July 11, 2011

    Candler Park, Atlanta GA (pic submitted by Al)

    “Panoramic of Candler Park, the edge of the golf course closest to the playground. An elderly woman drove her car off the road, through 20 yards of cattails, and into the creek.  She seemed fine, but this is another strong argument for periodic driving exams.”

    Candler Park Fall Fest This Weekend

    Decatur Metro | October 9, 2009

    Ken Edelstein asked me to post this weeks ago.

    This weekend, before or after you head down to Oakhurst for the Arts & Music Festival, take MARTA down to Candler Park for some more festival action!

    According to the Fest’s website, you’ll be able to dye your hair green, play dress up, see Kingsized perform on Sunday night (and Baton Bob on Saturday), and even invade people’s homes (what some folks call a “tour of homes”)!

    But what I really wanna know is, why on earth is the New York Times a sponsor of a Candler Park festival?

    Reports of Filming Have Not Been Over-Exaggerated

    Decatur Metro | July 22, 2009

    Georgia’s new, massive tax breaks for film studios have turned the city of Atlanta into a movie set overnight!

    Once free to live there lives in relative peace, residents are now reporting having to fight with big-glasses-wearing famous people over silm milk and Truvia at the local coffee shop and attempting to open doors in cardboard-cutout buildings.  (Disclosure: The previous sentence is untrue and should be viewed as creative-license gone horribly wrong) It’s madness not seen since the Villa Rica goldrush!

    There have been THREE reports of filming around the city and its surrounding environs in recent days. First there was a report on Twitter recently about filming in Oakhurst this past week.  Then this morning the city’s Cheryl Burnette reports filming in the Economy parking lot at Arcadia and College.  And finally, Rob writes in about some pretty intense filming going on in Candler Park…

    Have you heard any info on what is being filmed at the corner of Oakdale and Iverson (block north of Candler Pk Marta station)? For the past few days, dozens of trucks have been parked outside the house on the corner lot. And today, as I walked by on my way to the station, a cherry picker was hoisting lighting equipment. And this afternoon on my walk back through, the back yard was a-buzz with what appeared to be actors taking their marks. There are no signs anywhere about it though.

    Do I know what any of this is?  Of course not.  If you do, please fill the rest of us in.
