Restaurant: We Didn't Back Out of Lakeside Alliance Fundraiser
"I think we're being used by both sides unfortunately," Marlow's Tavern's general manager in Northlake said this week.
A Northlake restaurant scheduled to hold a fundraiser for the Lakeside City Alliance on Tuesday did not back out of the event after some angry Tucker residents protested the restaurant's involvement on Facebook, the restaurant's general manager said this week. The alliance announced the cancellation of the April 2 event last week after it said residents on several anti-alliance Facebook pages and groups threatened to protest Marlow's Tavern at 4156 Lavista Road if it went forward with the event. The alliance called out two Facebook sites, Tucker Town Talk and Save Tucker From Lakeside City, specifically. "Marlow's Tavern is a great neighborhood business, and we understand their concern for protecting their business from negative media …

Boycott Threats Led to Lakeside Alliance Fundraiser Cancellation?
The Lakeside City Alliance canceled the Tuesday event after several Facebook groups threatened to boycott and protest Marlow's Tavern in Northlake where the event was to be held.
A Lakeside City Alliance fundraiser planned for Tuesday in Northlake was canceled last week after several anti-alliance Facebook groups threatened to boycott and protest the restaurant holding the event, the alliance said. From a newsletter the alliance emailed to supporters Sunday: We are disappointed to announce that our event at Marlow's Tavern (4/2/13) has been cancelled. We have learned that Marlow's was threatened with a boycott, picketing and media coverage of the protest if they allowed LCA to hold the event at the restaurant. This effort to strong-arm Marlow's was assisted by several anti-LCA Facebook groups, including "Save Tucker from Lakeside" and "Tucker Town Talk". Marlow's Tavern is a great neighborhood business, and we …

Again, Fran, I see no evidence of a threat toward business profits by what was said, "tell them not to ..." was not followed up with any sort of "Or else we will...." You have a statement made by someone, not Ms. Miller, telling others to email or call and to tell the owner something. But, the owner/manager stated that he received no such calls or emails. There was no threat. To imply otherwise … more ›

Yikes. This mall isn't THAT bad, even though it was much better a few years ago. It's getting worse by the day, though. New tenants you've never heard of (Crush? Designer Styles?) is usually a death knell. more ›

Tucker’s annual holiday festival got a ho-ho-whole lot bigger and better this year.
The evening started last Thursday with the anxious anticipation of parents, cameras in hand, waiting for the Northlake Children’s Chorus to ring in this year’s holiday season.

More people are here this year.” Ester Davis agreed this year has been the best Christmas on Main Street yet. “We come to almost every event downtown. It makes you feel like you live in a small town.

Stores such as Kohl's and Macy's, which opened at midnight, did especially well.

Uncle Maddio's Pizza House Expanding to Northlake
The regional chain, which started in Toco Hill, will move into Northlake Festival early next year.
I've written a bit about the struggling commercial corridor up there in Northlake. (Northlake Festival Shopping Center and such.) I was just up there yesterday, however, eating a little Panda Express while reading and finishing up on some work, and, dare I say, it looked like the community might be rebounding a bit. And with that, here's some news that Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint will move into Northlake Festival sometimes early next year, according to Tomorrow's News Today. From the story: Atlanta-based Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint plans to open sometime early next year at Northlake Festival. Uncle Maddio's at Northlake will be located in a portion of what was once The Sport Shoe, and was most recently a CLEAR Wireless Internet location. …

A little OT here and I may be dating myself here, but I remember when there were cows in the field where Northlake Festival is. The WSB tower has been there as long as I can remember though. I'd rather have the cows back than have it continue as is. And while we're at it, when are they going to do something about that Kroger? It is dated and dangerous. We go to the Kroger down @ Toco Hills - "the… more ›

Any city movement that might cause people to be so upset that they would even consider a picket is more cause for worry than anything else. The businesses should be concerned about their commercial taxes going up by 30% which would be expected for the city to survive. But, we'll find out for sure when the feasibility study is complete, I'm sure. That is, if they plan to make it public. more ›
