Uncle Maddio's Owner: Pizza Business Recession-Proof

“We opened then, when the [economic] floor fell out,” owner Matt Andrew said last week. “We came out of the gate with guns blazing.”

Toco Hill's Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint has had its share of struggles in a dim economy over the last several years, but, for the most part, business has been good, the restaurant's owner said last week. The pizza business is essentially recession-proof, Matt Andrew told Neighbor Newspapers. From the story: The pizza restaurant started in January 2009 in the Toco Hills Shopping Center in Druid Hills. “We opened then, when the [economic] floor fell out,” he said. “We came out of the gate with guns blazing.” Although he said they had to “weather the storm through the economy,” he considers the pizza business to be somewhat recession proof because people do not usually make it at home. He said Uncle Maddio’s is similar to Moe’s, where …

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 ›

Humans Get Primal Smackdown in 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'

It has taken more than four decades, but finally Hollywood has it right.

This week's movie: Rise of the Planet of the Apes Chimps, gorillas and other primates take some mind-altering drugs and give a big hairy smackdown to the puny humans in this week's featured film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. James Franco plays a scientist trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, the same disease that has stricken his father (played by John Lithgow). After trouble with one of the test chimps, all of the chimps are put down – all but one, a newborn chimp that Franco's character rescues and names Caesar.  Caesar grows up to be a very smart monkey – a little too smart. As a result, he is sent to a "primate shelter" or, as I call it, ape prison. Angered by his incarceration, Caesar uses his brain to rally the other …
