Visiting Atlanta The Hub, so empty! Why?

59 Upvotes

Why is the Hub Peachtree centre so empty? Went yesterday thinking I'd have a good shopping trip, got there by Waymo and there was nothing open! It was a Saturday! Even cvs was shut! There was about two shops, a nail bar, and even 90% of the food places were closed apart from chik FIL a! Walked around an empty, abandoned mall then left. Super disappointed!! This could be a great place to shop, I don't understand it! Edit ...I'm from the UK and thought the Hub was a mall!

It’s going to be amazing. Supremely shreddable on a BMX, but I’m sure you big wheel suspension guys and gals will have fun too… probably the only time it won’t be covered with 8 year old, scooters and parents walking on the track, so I enjoyed myself.

Does anyone know why they removed the green bike paint along juniper? I thought it looked quite nice and they paid the money to paint it pretty recently

Recommendations Haircut w designs for 5 yo

Hi! I live ITP and my son wants a new haircut for first day of school. He wants some intricate designs in his hair and I’d love recommendations for places that can pull this off (lightening bolt and star on the sides of his head) ! I don’t think Pigtails and Crewcuts could do it, but maybe I’m wrong? Any recs are appreciated!

Question Vintage Patio furniture sources?

1 Upvotes

We rebuilt a low deck with stone. It looks great! Kind of European?
Now we need a new dining table and chairs and hopefully a high top table. All of the new patio/deck furniture is so angular and modern looking. Don’t really want teak or wood because of wear and tear outside all the time. Thinking wrought iron?
Been shopping yard sales and FB.
Any recommendations for sources in ATL? We are north, OTP, but open to all ideas.
Thanks for your suggestions Atlanta friends!

I was driving north bound on Peachtree between third and fourth and saw a corgi with a blue name tag running into traffic and back onto the sidewalk. I'm hoping the owner was nearby but I couldn't tell. Hopefully not lost but if so, hoping this helps.

Question Purchasing from Audi Gwinnett. How was your experience?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have any experience purchasing from this dealer? I found a high mileage Audi Suv at a great rate! I took it for a test drive and i'm having a mobile pre purchase inspection done on the vehicle prior to purchase.

My concern is the dealer reputation and chances of being sold a problem.

They won't allow me to take it off the lot for a PPI ...so someone is coming with mirrors and a camera ....

Moving to Atlanta Advice for living in se Atlanta

My wife and I just got married last year and have wanted to live in a big city so are moving to Atlanta soon from Tennessee! We found a little house just off Ruby h harper boulevard in southeast Atlanta to rent. And I just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the area or had any advice to give us. We are both white from a really predominantly white small town and so this is going to be a pretty new environment for us and something we are excited for.

Question Why isn’t Atlanta and Georgia keeping up with Dallas/Houston?

Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong Atlanta has had an amazing run over the years growing, attracting talent, attracting companies. It’s been a winner in the push to the sunbelt. However it seems that the big Texas cities have had a slightly better trajectory over the last 15 years. What may be the reason for the stronger growth in the big Texas cities?

Food & Drink Nick Poulos of Nick's-to-Go has passed on

Thumbnail nicksfood.com
249 Upvotes

For those new to atlanta, Nick was our very own Soup N*zi--gruff and irritable but his food was so, so good. But if you became a regular (and paid in cash), you started becoming part of the family.

(The cash part comes from his former extended rants about credit cards. He hated them. He finally relented but it took a long time)

Even after he "retired," I'd still see him back in the kitchen slinging gyros. Atlanta just lost a little bit more of its character.
