GA FReeper ping.
I’d like to get the real story of what went down in Decatur. While they’re pretty white / gentrified / Leftist overall (with a large black minority), they can also be pretty no-nonsense. For instance, they’ve been ripping out bike lanes and putting the pavement back to carrying real traffic.
#BlackBrunch demonstrations in major cities spark backlash

Many decades ago, I lived a stone’s throw from downtown Decatur. I graduated from Druid Hills High School on the doorstep of Emory University and the CDC. I knew it well. I haven’t been back since I came back from the military - likely will never go back.
I couldn’t begin to tell you the demographic makeup of the environ now, but I’d guess from the fact I’ve never received a reunion invitation from my former alma mater it is not the same.
That really is no matter and I’m not disheartened by it. What disheartens me is if citizens become protesters and advocate for a dogma that only seeks publicity and some special favor for a cause not worth supporting..
Did they say where the other restaurants in Atlanta were? I’m not finding it.
