BY COLLIN KELLEYDemolition of the abandoned shopping

center on Moores Mill Road could begin after the fi rst of the year to make way for a new, $40-million center anchored by a Publix grocery store, City Councilwoman Felicia Moore said this month.

It’s been a big song and dance,” Moore told members of the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods on Aug. 13, “but the proj-ect is going to happen.”

Moore, who has been working on the project for about a decade, said she be-lieved that demolition of the center at the corner of Moores Mill and Bolton roads would be scheduled during the fi rst quar-ter of 2016.

Edens, a South Carolina-based develop-ment company, is ready to move forward with the project, which would include a 45,000-square-foot Publix supermarket, retail shops and apartments, Moore said.

Invest Atlanta, the city’s economic de-velopment arm, committed $500,000 for a road extension that would create a sig-nalized entrance to the mixed-use proj-ect. Moore said an additional $800,000 is needed to build the road extension that would connect Moores Mill to Marietta

Margaret Mitchell didn’t live here, but this neighborhood keeps her name on the map

BY JOHN [email protected]

Th e famed author of “Gone With the Wind” never lived in the Buckhead neighborhood that now bears her name.

As the local Margaret Mitchell Civic Associ-ation puts it, “Peggy never lived this ‘far out.’”

But residents love the unusually named neighborhood for its greenery, family-oriented environment and outstanding schools.

“People are desperate to get into our neigh-borhood,” says Kate Burke, who knows the Mar-garet Mitchell neighborhood as both a local real estate agent and as a resident of leafy Sequoyah Drive. She lives there with husband, Wells, son Owen, daughter Margaret, and dogs Foxy and Eena.

Th e civic association defi nes the neighborhood as run-ning along West Wesley Road to the west of I-75, rough-ly between Moores Mill Road and Nancy Creek. Th e neigh-

borhood took its name, the homeowners group says in its website, from a local elementary school named for the At-

lanta writer whose friends called her “Peggy.” Th e local school now is named for Atlanta busi-nessman Morris Brandon, whose sons contrib-uted the land.

Burke said schools help defi ne the neighbor-hood.

“We are sandwiched between the best pub-lic elementary school and the triad of the three best private schools,” she said, referring to the Lovett School, Trinity School and Th e Westminster Schools.

Th e schools have helped spark a “complete transforma-tive turnover” in demographics, she said.

“It used to be empty-nesters. Now it’s strollers,” she said.

Boulevard.Moore said she is awaiting word on

possible funding from the Atlanta Re-gional Commission in September. She said if that didn’t work, she had other funding ideas including using money from the city’s recently approved infra-structure bond.

In June, Atlanta City Council voted to provide $800,000 to help complete the project because federal funds for the road extension had been held up in Congress.

Moore had ushered through an or-

dinance to use money from the city’s transportation impact fee fund be-fore the developer walked away, but wound up voting against her own leg-islation when an amendment was add-ed by Councilmember Keisha Lance Bottoms to allow council members to use the impact fee fund for projects in their districts.

Council members were warned that spreading the unallocated impact fee funding to all the districts was not al-lowed under current city guidelines and could face a legal challenge. Th e council ultimately repealed the legislation.

Police install car tag readersIf you’ve stolen a car, have an expired tag or no insurance, new tag reader tech-

nology installed in some Atlanta Police patrol cars will know immediately. Zone 2 Commander Van Hobbs told the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods at its

Aug. 14 meeting that the tag readers were operational and in use in the community.

Hobbs said the camera technology constantly scans mo-tor vehicle licenses plates on the streets. If the car is report-ed stolen or has a violation, the patrolman behind the wheel is alerted instantly. Hobbs said similar tag readers have been installed in Buckhead Atlanta’s parking areas and will soon be at Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square malls.

“It’s a very, very young neighborhood.”“I ride my bike with my son to kin-

dergarten” at Morris Brandon, she said, describing the daily parade of parents.

Th e neighborhood is largely com-prised of single-family homes, including many 1950s ranch-style houses on large lots. Burke said that demand is so high, the latest three home sales were unlist-ed, and one went for $90,000 above the asking price.

Th e Margaret Mitchell Civic Associ-ation is a major local organization that has a seat on the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods. Th e $250 annual mem-bership fee pays for a private security pa-trol and several ongoing social events and seasonal parties.

Burke said she’s partial to the “Wine Not? Ladies’ Night Out.” Held four times a year, it’s an event where attend-ees bring a bottle of wine and their own glass so the host doesn’t have to clean up. “Th at’s one of the better events for la-dies,” she said.

“Th e best event in our neighborhood is Halloween,” Burke said. “Everybody goes down to the Morris Brandon Pri-mary Center dressed up” and enjoys a free dinner. “Th en the trick-or-treat is on. It’s crazy—so crazy I have my mom visit from Kentucky to man the door. You buy your candy at Costco, not at Kroger.”

Th at’s one of the ways Margaret Mitchell is “a true neighborhood. Peo-ple come out in droves.”

Q&A“I think there’s nothing wrong in having a casino in Georgia.”

Neel Bandreddy

“Right now I do not have a stance on legalizing gambling in Atlanta. However, I do believe that many of the pros and cons balance each other out. For instance, the increase in tourism may attract a different crowd into the city, but on the other end it would bring in a lot of revenue. The revenue would then be put towards the HOPE scholarship, which would allow for more students to be awarded fi nancial aid.”

Anne Claire Pittman

“I really don’t have a strong opinion either way. I wouldn’t support it or be against it. If people want to gamble, I don’t care. I don’t consider myself a big supporter of gambling, but I don’t think the government has the right to tell people they can’t do it since the state currently operates the only legal gambling in the state with the lottery.”

Bill Selvey

“I know in Florida a lot of the proceeds go toward education, so if there was some benefi t to it I would be in favor of it.”

Amy Small

“Opposed. Because I like going on vacations to do my gambling.”

Josh Betts

“My personal opinion [is] if they could control the crime elements, it could be positive, bring a lot of income [to the area]...”

Calvon Moore, with granddaughter Kara Croon

“I would probably support it. Additional tax revenue would presumably reduce the tax burden on the citizens and retard future tax growth.”

David Gildernew

“I would have mixed emotions. I would want to see more statistics on comparable cities that have legalized gambling in terms of crime rates and gambling addictions. And I would also have concerns about poorer families statistically spending more of their income gambling.”

Louis Hempel

“I would be highly in favor of it. I’d be excited about it. I love to go to the casino. I love to go eat and I love to go gamble.”

Kimani King

“I think it would bring money and entertainment to the city — as long as there’s not a ton of casinos.”

Sam Carlile, with son Nash

“I would have to look at the pros and cons and see what is done in other states…I could go either way. I know it’s a cliché, but the devil’s in the details.”

Jerry Adams, with daughter Lilla Grace Adams

“I would probably vote to allow it to increase jobs, boost the economy and increase funds for the HOPE scholarship. I would also be concerned about the riffraff it might bring in, but I’m not as concerned about that because it’s not in my neighborhood.”

Meg Sessions

“I would support it —more revenue for the state to help fund programs. The lottery funds the HOPE scholarship. Maybe casino gambling can do the same.”

Apartment boom sparks debate about Perimeter’s future

An apartment development boom is reshap-ing the new Perimeter cities and sparking debates about density, traffic and quality of life.

From the new Mercedes-Benz USA headquar-ters project in Sandy Springs to the old Hastings Nursery in Brookhaven, residents are packing neighborhood gatherings and city zoning meet-ings in order to push back against massive apart-ment plans. This week, an apartment proposal even triggered friction between cities, with Brookhav-en’s mayor complaining of lack of input on a Sandy Springs border project.

Yet, at the same time, city officials argue that mixed-use apartment complexes will give them at-tractive, walkable downtowns where outmoded, car-centered suburban strip malls now stand. That creative tension will continue along with the apart-ment trend, real estate and planning experts say.

Apartments are the growth area of residential development, driven by “a switch from ‘I rent be-cause I have to’ to ‘I rent because I want to,’” said Ron Cameron, a senior vice president at Colliers International-Atlanta who specializes in multifami-ly real estate investment.

Millennials and retiring baby boomers drive the trend to create new “live-work-play” places such as Brookhaven’s TOWN/Brookhaven and Sandy Springs’ planned City Center project, according to Cameron.

“The bottom line is, who wants to live in a place

that’s not a place?” says Michelle Alexander, Sandy Springs’ director of community development.

The irony is that Brookhaven, Dunwoody and Sandy Springs incorporated partly out of concerns that apartment projects were overwhelming single-family neighborhoods. Dense apartments have been viewed as generators of traffic, crime and infrastructure strains. Some new projects are re-placing older apartments with new, luxury-oriented models,

but many of these criticisms remain.Two apartment-complex owners sued the city of Dun-

woody in 2013, accusing the city of trying to force low-in-come apartments out of business. The lawsuit was dropped, but it illustrates the sense of tension in a city that the head of the Dunwoody Homeowners Association says is now rough-ly half homeowners and half renters.

Construction on One City Walk, located at the corner of Roswell Road and Hammond Drive in Sandy Springs, is underway. The mixed-use project will consist of 202 units as well as street-front retail space.

Apartment boom sparks debate about Perimeter’s future

CoverStory

Robert Wittenstein, a former Dun-woody city councilman and current DHA president, explained some of the local concerns. “Apartment-dwellers tend to be more transient, tend to have less of a stake in the community,” he said. “Th is is a great place to come, and we want [residents] to stay.”

School system capacity is a big infrastructure issue as well. “All of our schools have trail-ers…Every building that gets built creates overcrowding in schools,” Wittenstein said, noting that applies to dense condo projects, too.

Density can also solve infrastructure problems. Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul often points out that apartments located near workplaces should reduce the city’s notorious commuter traffi c. Th en again, Paul has reservations him-self about the pace of the city’s apart-ment boom.

“I don’t think we need to redevelop Roswell Road all at one time,” he said at a recent City Council meeting.

At a glance, it looks like that’s already

happening. More than 2,400 apart-ments are approved or under construc-tion at various sites on the Roswell Road corridor. Th e city made such develop-ments a key part of its 2012 downtown master plan. In fact, it’s a partner in one of them—the public-private City Cen-

ter project, which pairs a new City Hall facility with multi-family housing.

Th e Sandy Springs City Council is often split on whether apartment proposals match those City Center goals

or are overdoing the density. A mixed-use project at 6075 Roswell Road that came before the council last month was a case in point. Th e council ended up approving the project—but also cut the number of apartment units by roughly 10 percent.

Th e situation highlighted holes in the city’s zoning code, including lack of how to measure density or how to de-fi ne “mixed-use.” Th e city is embarking on a full rezoning and planning process in part to get a better handle on the de-velopment boom.

“When are we going to decide

enough’s enough?” City Councilman Graham McDonald asked at that meet-ing.

Th e 2012 City Center master plan contained projections for how many new apartments the area market would bear in coming years. After approval of a multi-use project on Roswell Road in July, the city passed the number of apart-ments it had projected for 2017 and was closing in on its 2022 numbers.

Cameron said that is part of an At-lanta market boom. About 11,000 new multifamily units—including apart-ments and condos—have been built in the past seven quarters in metro Atlan-ta, he said. Th ere is still plenty of de-mand, as suggested by rents continuing to climb: 5.5 percent last year and more than 7 percent higher so far this year.

Millennials are a huge demographic that demands “mobility and fl exibility” in housing, Cameron said. Th ey don’t

want to drive everywhere, and in today’s market, they can “rent a place as nice any [house] they could dream of hav-ing.”

Retired baby boomers are anoth-er growing demographic moving away from high-maintenance, single-family homes. Cameron said market experts es-timate that by 2030, the number of U.S. renters age 65 and older will more than double to 12.2 million.

With that kind of momentum, the question is not whether the Perimeter will have more apartments, but where they will go and how they will mix with their surroundings. Th e only slowdown in sight, Cameron said, is rents eventu-ally outpacing incomes.

“Th e thing we talk about a lot in our business is the aff ordable component,” Cameron said. “At some point in time, the millennial renter is going to say, ‘No mas.’”

Canterbury Court is Atlanta’s first and foremost continuing care retirement community, non-profit, and committed to welcoming all people.

3750 Peachtree Road, N.E.Atlanta, Georgia 30319canterburycourt.org

Dan Sasser loves coming and going as he pleases. That’s just one of many reasons he chose Canterbury Court to be his home.

“I left a tenured position so I could live wherever I wanted. Then I retired at 60 and was working part time when I discovered Canterbury Court. I thought, ‘How wonderful it would be to live there.’”

When he decided to move to Canterbury Court, he chose a studio apartment, which he says “is more than big enough for me.” The maintenance-free lifestyle also lets him keep a second home in Florida and take frequent road trips.

Dan says people are “missing the boat” by not moving to a retirement community sooner. “Here you have several restaurant options, all kinds of activities and excursions, a theater with daily showings, a heated pool and wellness center, 11 acres of beautiful gardens ... it’s like being on a permanent vacation!”

Family’s basement stocks ‘Mini Libraries’ for schools

BY MARY HELEN KELLYKissy Dabbs recalls

when books overtook her Sandy Springs home after a book drive for the Mini Li-braries program at Heards Ferry Elementary last year.

“We had our entire din-ing room and foyer just full. We could lose chil-dren in these books!” she said.

Dabbs and her two daughters provide the brains and a large part of the energy behind the Mini Libraries program sponsored by the Sandy Springs Education Force.

The program, which fo-cuses on supplying books to children who otherwise might not have access to them, is active at three el-ementary schools in San-dy Springs -- Ison Springs Elementa-ry, Dunwoody Springs Elementary and Lake Forest Elementary. In the last year, Dabbs said the Mini Libraries have pro-vided over 14,000 donated books to children at these elementary schools.

“Our big goal is just [to get] books in hands,” Dabbs said.

Through the Mini Libraries, kids are invited to take two books a day that they never have to return. Kids get to keep the books themselves, share them with their friends or form libraries of their own.

The idea for the Mini Libraries began when Liza, 9, and Clara, 10, decided to start a library in their basement for kids in the neighborhood. Dabbs, who had always fostered a love of reading in her daughters, full heartedly supported the idea.

The girls soon realized that they lived in a neighborhood where books were easy to come by. About two months af-ter opening their “Sisters Library,” they realized that more books were being do-nated to the library than were being checked out.

Dabbs reached out to education ad-vocacy groups in the area to see where these books might be better used. The Sandy Springs Education Force re-sponded to Dabbs and extended their helping hand in the process of putting these books into schools for other chil-dren to enjoy.

“They really gave us an infrastruc-ture and support which I didn’t expect,” Dabbs said.

The nonprofit purchased magazine holders on Craigslist that were made over by kid volunteers to house the books. Dabbs describes the Mini Li-braries program as a “no-overhead in-stitution” based on volunteers and do-nations. Cardboard boxes are the only other supply the nonprofit purchases for

the libraries program.Irene Schweiger, executive director

of the nonprofit, said, “These may be the first and or only books these chil-dren have for themselves. Putting these books in the hands of these needy stu-dents is a first step in encouraging a love of reading and furthering their success in school and life.”

The libraries are stocked solely from donations, all of which are sorted and distributed from the home of Dabbs.

“People drop off books all the time, which is fantastic. And it’s nice because they know where they’re going. They’re staying in this community, and they’re going to be read by the kids who later go to junior high with them, or the kids who they play soccer with, or the kids who we see at Kroger,” Dabbs said.

Sandy Springs’ kids are the ones do-ing most of the sorting of these books at the “sorting parties” Dabbs hosts at her home. Clara and Liza both recall special memories from the big sorts they have at their house.

Liza playfully said sorting was her least favorite part because she can hard-ly stand to be surrounded by so many books and not be allowed to read them all. Clara said all the “hard labor” of sorting was worth it when she sees the impact these books are having in other kids’ lives.

During sorts, books are categorized to ensure they are being used in the most effective ways at schools. The donations are not only used to stock the libraries, but are also distributed to teachers at schools when needed and available.

Teachers have been able to make re-quests through the program, and if Dabbs has the books available, they are given directly to the teachers. Dabbs works with curriculum support teams at schools to find and fill the needs of each school.

Kissy Dabbs, center, with daughters Liza Twari, 9, left, and Clara Twari, 10, generated the idea for the Mini Libraries by starting a neighborhood library in the basement of their Sandy Springs home.

MOSAIC’S SUCCESSFUL REMODELING PROCESS

Whether it is 10 copies of “Stuart Little” a teacher wants to use for a par-ticular lesson or a collection of books on math and science, Dabbs says they ca-ter to as many requests as possible. She says giving the teach-ers the books is “just another route to the same kids.”

Kerstin Long, the math instruc-tional coach at High Point Elementary, recently worked with Dabbs. Th is summer Long mentored a group of fi fth graders at High Point in a math and technology camp. Th e Mini Libraries provided biographies of scien-

tists, explorers, environmen-talists and humanitarians who were pioneers in the techno-logical world for these stu-dents to study.

“For me, the best part of our experience was seeing kids realize everyday people like them can do amazing things. It was wonderful to watch kids connecting to the world around them and coming to believe that they really do have the potential to make a diff er-ence,” Long said.

Dabbs says a long-term goal for the project is for it to be entirely “kid-run” from start to fi nish. She hopes to get high school students involved

in stocking the libraries at schools and making it a program where kids are serv-ing other kids in the community.

“We are one city and one communi-ty, and even though we look very diff erent from street to street, it doesn’t have to be that way. For the kids, they could care

less. All they really want to do is share books,” Dabbs said.

If you are interested in volunteering, contact Kissy Dabbs at [email protected].

Two long-serving coaches refl ect on football tradition


Brookhaven’s Marist School and Buckhead’s Westminster Schools boast two of the metro area’s longest-serv-ing head football coaches. Alan Chad-wick, in his 30th year at Marist, and Gerry Rom-berg, Westmin-ster’s coach for 23 years, share more than longevity.

Both coaches have piled up im-pressive records and regularly keep their teams in the state champion-ship hunt despite working at pri-vate schools with strong academ-ic programs. Both coaches have an old-school com-mitment to high-school ball.

Th en there’s the direct connection: Romberg played for Chadwick years ago during one year of middle school at Marist. “He doesn’t advertise that very much,” Chadwick said with a laugh. “He is an excellent football coach. He knows the game extremely well,” Chadwick quick-ly added.

Romberg said he’s proud he had a chance to play for Chadwick—and hopes their schools will soon be sched-uled to play against each other, as they were in the 1990s.

“You talk about consistency and continuity, he’s the model of that,” Romberg said of Chadwick. “He’s the most competitive guy I’ve ever met in my life.”

Th ese days, Romberg said, few coaches stay put as long as he and Chadwick have. “A lot of coaches are going to bounce around and chase state champion-ships,” he said, and there is more NFL-style pressure for schools to fi re coach-es who don’t win quickly.

Chadwick was a star player at De-catur High and a record-setting quar-terback at East Tennessee State. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears but ended up not making an NFL roster. He started coaching at Marist in 1976

and became head coach in 1985. In 2012, he became one of the state’s few high school coaches to break the 300-win mark. He has coached Marist to

two state champion-ships and his teams have won more than eight of every 10 games they’ve played.

Romberg came to Westminster after coaching stints at public and private high schools, in-cluding Dunwoody High and Wash-ington, D.C.’s Ma-ret School, as well as at the college lev-el at the Citadel and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. In 2009, he became Westminster’s most winning coach. A championship re-mains elusive, but Romberg keeps his teams consistent-ly in the running, including 18 trips to the playoff s—including last sea-son’s 12-2 team—and two to the state semifi nals.

Both men said they thrive on the challenge of keep-ing their teams

competitive and have a love for the high-school game.

“I just enjoy this age group,” Rom-berg said, praising Westminster’s hard-working students. “Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to devel-op [and help] young boys mature into adults we can be proud of. Sometimes I feel like football is just a vehicle to help these young men progress into successful adults.”

Chadwick says the power of his support staff and Marist’s traditions are part of what has kept him at the school for three de-cades.

“It’s the people and just the over-all environment at

Marist,” he said. “It’s such a unique-ly wonderful place to work and to play. ... Five of my varsity staff mem-bers played here [and] came back to coach.”

Marist is famed for still using the running-game-based wishbone of-fense. “We’ve been running it for 40-

plus years,” Chadwick said. “We’ve tweaked it a good bit.”

“We don’t always have the types of athletes [opponents] do,” Chadwick said of Marist’s method of grinding oppo-nents down. “You’re not going to see us run a lot of fakes, or a lot of razzle-dazzle.”

“The more things change, the more they stay the same,” Romberg said of the concept underlying Westminster’s program. “We use the word ‘family.’ It’s the cornerstone of our program.”

High-school football also goes through changes, often trickling down from the NFL. Programs to re-duce concussions and other injuries are a big change these days. Chadwick said

he’s not a fan of most of them, calling them “conversations of mommas not letting ‘baby’ play football anymore.”

Concussion-reduction efforts have been good, he said, but added, “I’m see-

ing the kids today not being as overly ag-gressive and physical as they need to be to play this game,” he said.

Romberg said a game against Marist was crucial to his first season, when he

took over a team struggling with coaching turnovers and off-field issues. Going up against a far su-perior Marist team, they battled to a 7-7 halftime tie. “Alan just went ballistic. [Marist] came out [af-ter] the half and just blitzkrieged us” to win the game, Romberg re-called.

But by standing their ground against a better team, “The kids re-alized I was dedicated to making this program as good as it can be,” he said.

Chadwick recalls those bat-tles fondly as well. “They knew us better than we knew ourselves,” he said of the Romberg-coached

Westminster teams.That’s why both coaches clearly wish

they had one more thing in common: more chances to play each other.

“It’s the people and just the overall environment at Marist. It’s such a uniquely

wonderful place to work and to play.”

Standout StudentStudent Profile:

� Sydney Holmes � Dunwoody High School,

senior

Most people mainly associate Girl Scouts with their popular eponymous cookies, but Dunwoody High School senior Sydney Holmes is proving that there is so much more to Girl Scouts than Samoas and Thin Mints.

In her junior year, Sydney, who has been a Girl Scout since seventh grade, was horrified to discover that Atlanta is the number one city in America for sex trafficking. Sydney decided to devote her Girl Scout Gold Award project, enti-tled “Human Trafficking: Stop it HERE and THERE,” to fight human traffick-ing through increasing awareness.

With the help of local author Lor-raine Fast, Sydney created a seminar that she led at a local after-school center for over 100 children.

“Because the subject matter itself of trafficking is very graphic and not ap-propriate for younger children, my proj-ect was not to educate about trafficking, but how to remain safe and be aware of their surroundings, and know who trustworthy people are to help them make safe decisions,” said Sydney. “My seminar started with [training in] ‘good touch/bad touch,’ ‘stranger danger,’ knowing the ‘friendly enemy’ (the po-tential trafficker) and the tricks they use to lure kids in, and cyber safety.”

Sydney was not content simply help-ing children locally. On a mission trip to Costa Rica, she donated items to an after-school clubhouse, had all seminar materials translated into Spanish and helped give the seminar six times at four different schools, reaching 250 children.

“I wanted to teach children in my community [and in Costa Rica] that is

OK to tell an adult ‘no’ if they want to touch your private areas or take inappro-priate pictures, or ask you to keep secrets from your parents,” she said.

For her work fighting human traffick-ing, Sydney was honored as Scout of the Year by the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter and placed third in the state of Georgia.

“Sydney has shown that she is dil-igent, she follows through on all proj-ects, she is a team player and she can ac-complish tasks in a courteous and timely manner,” said Sydney’s Girl Scout Troop Leader, Bobbe Gillis. “Sydney lives by the Girl Scout law and upholds the prin-ciples of scouting in all her interactions. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow socially, intellectually and emotionally. I believe she is well equipped to excel in a college environment.”

Outside of Girl Scouts, Sydney is co-consul of the Latin Club and partici-pates in cross country, track and field, and chorus. Her favorite subjects are so-cial studies and Latin.

What’s Next: Sydney hopes to attend Shorter Uni-

versity and become a high school histo-ry teacher.

Morris Brandon Elementary School’s construction will continue at both its campuses, but the fi rst phase of renova-tions is complete, school offi cials say.

Th e school’s Primary Center, which opened in 2009 for kindergarten through fi rst grade to alleviate over-crowding, now also contains a media center, three new classrooms and two offi ce spaces, Principal Kara Stimpson said. Th e expansion was completed over the summer, Stimpson said.

Th e fi rst phase of construction began in May and the second phase is sched-uled to be completed by December. A groundbreaking took place in July, St-impson said.

Th e 13,474-square-foot project ex-pands and renovates the existing pri-mary school, which was originally built in 1954. Extensive renovations in 2009 added a three-story classroom wing and added to the auditorium.

Th e current addition, scheduled for completion in December, consists of a gymnasium/auditorium, relocated me-dia center, new music room, addition-al classrooms, offi ces and support spac-es, and a unifi ed, terraced soccer fi eld / playground and play court.

Th e second phase involves ongoing work for adding space so second graders can join the Primary Center. One gym, one music room and four tradition-al classrooms will be available for pro-gramming.

“As a two-campus school, it will be huge for us to have the teachers in their own classrooms,” Stimpson said.

Jere Smith, the director of capital improvements at Parrish Construction Group, said the Atlanta Public Schools several years ago adopted a model de-sign for several schools, including Mor-ris Brandon, that allowed separate build-ings to house diff erent grades.

“It served the student population better to have the school remain togeth-er, but split the campuses [to combat crowding],” he said.

Now that the new playground is open, students and parents are getting more excited about the renovation, St-impson said.

“Th ey’ve been expecting to see this for a few years and they are excited to know we are going to have the space we need,” Stimpson said. “Th ere are some growing pains, but overall people are re-ally excited.”

Buckhead Police BlotterFrom police reports dated

July 26 – Aug. 1

The following information was provided to the Buckhead Reporter by the Zone 2 pre-

cinct of the Atlanta Police Department from its records and is presumed to be accurate.

ROBBERY 1800 block of Howell Mill Road—

Four men returned to a gas station af-ter two of them previously had entered to pay for gas. Th e suspects entered the location on foot from a parking lot on Beck Street. Th e fi rst man brandished a handgun and held an employee at gun-point while a second man entered the cashier’s cage and took money. After re-trieving the handgun from the fi rst man, a third man ran to the rear of the store where he encountered another victim near a cooler. Th e fourth man remained at the front doors to the business with his face concealed, not allowing any-one to enter or exit the store. After ob-taining cellphones, $23 in cash from a worker and approximately $1,000 in cash from the register, the four men fl ed on foot, northbound toward Beck Street and then westbound out of the eye of cameras.

600 block of Lindbergh Drive—While a man was walking, a black Toyota Cam-ry pulled beside him. Two men got out. Th e fi rst man fl ashed a black handgun in his waistband while the second grabbed the victim’s Metro PCS fl ip phone and the keys to his 2010 Audi. Th e suspects ran back to the suspects’ vehicle and were driven away by an unknown male. Th e man said he waited 30 minutes to report the robbery because he was afraid.

2200 block of Faulkner Road—A man armed with a black handgun ran up to a woman outside a gym and demanded money as she walked across a parking lot to enter a building. As she was surrender-

ing her backpack, a second man armed with a handgun also ran up to her. She was able to run to the building. Witness-es reported seeing a light-colored sedan in the parking lot, possibly occupied by another suspect. Th e suspects took items from a Honda Accord before robbing the woman.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT 3200 block of Roswell Road—Two

men started arguing after one pulled the other’s girlfriend’s hair. One of the two began choking the other. Th e man be-ing choked then struck his attacker with a glass bottle. Th e man hit with the bottle sustained visible cuts to his forehead and was taken to a hospital for further treat-ment. Th e patrol offi cer noted one man was highly intoxicated and neither par-ty wanted to prosecute. Several witnesses corroborated the accounts that the man who was struck with the bottle started it.

3300 block of Peachtree Road—A man became upset with employees and patrons of a bar and they attempted to calm him down. Witnesses said he pulled a handgun from his waistband and be-gan randomly pointing it at patrons and

staff . When police arrived, he attempted to hide near a planter. He later was arrest-ed near the valet service. A handgun was recovered from his rear waistband and he was arrested.

4000 block of Haverhill Drive—A man walking toward his parked car saw an-other man squatting between the vehi-cle and a neighboring one.
