A Medlock Park resident says people protesting Walmart should look around at their community and pick up a rake before demanding higher-standard alternatives to the ubiquitous international retailer.
North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch welcomes letters from readers. Send them to jonathan.cribbs@patch.com. While I am not a fan of Walmart, this area desperately needs tax revenue and revitalization. Suburban Plaza is dying, and this area needs to jump-start with a major retailer. I would love to see a mixed use development with unique stores there, but the demographics don't support it. If the support were there, it would be going there as opposed to Clifton Road across from the Centers for Disease Control. Residents opposing the development need to get over it because, truthfully, the bad element they fear is already milling about Suburban Plaza. I'm sorry to say this, but this neighborhood isn't affluent enough to support this area on …

Susan Rochat has written "Mr. Robin and the Very Clever Worm," a tale about skirting death, originally written for her grandchildren.
North Druid Hills resident Susan Rochat has turned her talent for writing poetry into a children’s book, combining forces with her artist daughter Melanie Rochat, a resident of Gulf Breeze, FL, who served as her illustrator. Entitled Mr. Robin and the Very Clever Worm, the light-hearted tale in verse about skillfully skirting death was originally written for the author’s grandchildren, but since it became a family project, mother and daughter decided to expand their audience. Rochat immigrated with her original family from India years ago and was trained as a nurse. She and her husband Roger, a doctor currently working in public health education, raised three children together and are now grandparents to four. Rochat has written poetry for…
