Next to the Busy Bee?
All these years, that spot has been boarded up, and it's being revamped to put in a Chick-fil-a of all things?
I wonder how this gentrification is going to affect the AUC in the near future.

It's over with for the hood. Look at east point...
You raise a great point....who y'all thinking about backing in the mayoral election on Tuesday?
Keisha Lance Bottoms would basically carry on what Kasim Reed's done, since they pretty much shared the same platform...like, that's his homie. So if people are tired of him, then her chances decrease exponentially. But as of THIS MORNING, she's leading the polls.
Mary Norwood - she's right behind Bottoms in the vote. She ran against Reed before and BARELY lost (714 votes)....so any White backlash against Reed and she's their woman. I dunno what her platform is and far be it from me to accuse her of having "biases"...but if so, and Black voters don't show up, she could win by default, no matter what the polls currently say.
LONG SHOTS
Ceasar Mitchell - people call him the "anti-Kasim Reed", like Reed's exact opposite. So people who ain't been rocking with Reed may flock to him. Plus, dude has already raised the gang of money for his campaign (almost a mill ticket, I think), and supposedly he landers to old school Black voters. So, like, he's your grandmama's candidate, lol...
Cathy Woolard - Georgia's first openly gay elected official. While I personally question if the WHOLE city is that progressive yet, if so she has a pretty solid built-in constituency.
Kwanza Hall - Twitter fingers, lol....nah, I actually know this brother he's good people. Not so sure he has a greater shot than ere'body else already named before him, though....

It's a wrap for Vine City. Next up, Trader Joe's.
Chick Fil A aint like Whole Foods tho. There's been Chick Fil A's in the hood for a min.

I haven’t been keeping up with the race or researching the candidates cause I don’t stay in Atlanta proper so I can’t vote.
Just hope whoever wins does something about affordable housing and slowing down the displacement of our people in the city.
