Another Atlanta Blog To Check Out: Spacey Gracey Review

I had such grandiose plans to feature an Atlanta blog every day for a week, maybe a week and a half. Well, I suck, and am barely through 3 blogs in more than 2 weeks. So, I am changing the scope of this series from an Atlanta blog every day to an Atlanta blog as [...]

Mezzo Nears Completion

Mezzo, the $63 million, 20 story high rise project is very close to being topped out and is still on schedule for occupancy sometime in the spring of 2008.

Another Contest Entry

I’ve officially turned into a contest whore. I’m ashamed, but not really. Darren Rowse is one of the most influential bloggers in the world. I’m serious, he’s that big. So big, that over the next week, he’s giving away $54,000 worth of prizes at his blog’s birthday bash. There are tons of prizes and ways [...]

This blog has been alive for a good, long time talking about music, life, and independent art in Atlanta. Biased talk (which is what makes blogging great) from their multiple authors about [...]

Reading Other Atlanta Blogs: I Saw It On Ponce

When I first think of the word blogging I think about writing. I write (blog) about the Atlanta real estate market, specifically lofts and condos, ITP. However, if I really look at blogging it’s more than just writing, it’s reading other blogs as well. In fact, when it comes to blogging, I do much more [...]

Streets Of Buckhead To Add Hotel Monaco

I have to say that I was a bit sad to say goodbye to the Three Dollar Cafe in Buckhead. I had a memorable beer or two or ten there in the old days. However, out with the nostalgia and on with progress and growth. The Streets of Buckhead developers just announced they were [...]

Webcams For Atlanta Real Estate Developments

I’ve been posting some construction photos lately of the new Buckhead and Midtown condo towers being built. Some of these photos were taken from webcams that the developer has set up.
