I am truly undecided on the cityhood issue, but I am curious about one thing. If a clear majority of residents in a neighborhood, or even make that a group of several neighborhoods under the umbrella of a common civic association, express a desire not to be included in the new city, will the LCA listen to them and omit them from their map?   more ›

Atlanta Greek Festival Returns

The yearly food and cultural event returns to the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation this weekend.

If you're in the mood for good food and fun, head over to the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation on Friday for one of our community's largest yearly events.

The Greek Festival is a great way to spend an afternoon and evening. A bit of Greek cuisine and culture in the middle of Atlanta. The tours of the church are fascinating.

Rader Criticizes Redistricting Process in Budget Talk

Commissioner Jeff Rader (District 2) hosted a meeting to explain the ins and outs of the proposed DeKalb County budget for 2012, touching on topics such as funding parks, libraries and fixing the conditions of the county animal shelter. Rader also brought a map showing proposed new county commission districts that was released only hours earlier. He feels the map is problematic because it packs about three percent more people into the district than there should be, meaning that the voting power of its residents is diluted. This map also takes the Briarcliff Elementary, Druid Hills Middle and North Decatur voting precincts out of his district. “This process, unfortunately, has really fallen apart this year,” he said. He also said the county…
