1400 Peachtree Being Redesigned

The mixed-use development at the corner of 17th Street and Peachtree Road named 1400 Peachtree was supposed to be started in early 2008. But, the developers purchased a neighboring tract of land and have now announced that they are beginning the design phase of the new 1400 Peachtree.

Where is Brutus?

I really only have one 5$ gift certificate to Starbucks for the winner of this week’s “Where am I” and am getting ready to go on vacation for a week, but thought I would send this out. Where the heck is Brutus?
