Not a lot of new info in this WABE article, but it does point out that both Druid Hills and the Medlock neighborhoods have been sort of stranded in the larger cityhood conversation and they very quickly need to figure out where they want to go.

We need to act rather than be acted upon,” says Justin Critz of the Druid Hills Civic Association. He says the group is asking its 4,400 homeowners and renters to pay attention to what is going on in the cityhood debate. Critz says the association is gathering information and putting it out to residents.

That is also happening in Medlock Park, a neighborhood with some 1300 homes near the Decatur city line. Lynn Ganim, acting president of the Medlock Area Neighborhood Association, says, “We have no clue what sort of power we have or what could happen to us, but we want to make sure that people are educated about options.”

Penelope sent in this note and info yesterday about…

LOST, Beautiful Siamese Cat. Seal Point, intense blue eyes, neutered male, has probably lost his collar. ‘Siam’ is very friendly and will come to you if invited.

Last seen Nov.20 at 2257 Vistamont rd. 30033 (Medlock)

We love him dearly and are offering a reward for his return.

The weird part about this story is that the owners received an anonymous letter about their cat just days before he disappeared.  You can read it after the jump.

This is a follow up on the dog mentioned in the post last night. Tracey writes in…

My neighbor’s dog got away from the St. Francis Animal Clinic yesterday…. can you please get the word out? He made his way across Lawrenceville Highway (a miracle in itself). He was seen near Medlock Elementary School. He lives in the Midtown/Buckhead(Brookwood) area and we’ve all heard the amazing stories about dogs finding their way home, so I want to open up my search as far as I can. We are trying to get this viewed by as many people as possible and when things go *viral* it can work.

Lost Dog – Harley – Missing – May 26th – Last seen near Medlock Park & Medlock Elementary Sch. in Decatur, GA. Harley is a miniature Greyhound and was wearing a red collar when he went missing. Last seen, he still had the dog leash attached to his collar. Please call with any information about Harley’s whereabouts. Stacy Wells: (404)556-9956 or Tracey Miller: (404)932-4773

Two reports from residents of helicopters and DeKalb County sheriffs over Suburban Plaza at around 10p Wednesday.

Anyone hear or see anything?
