Southeast Atlanta "I Can't Believe THEY Are Still In Business Thread

[dsnation]

I go to Happy Donuts at least once a week on the way to work and there's always other customers in there.  I love Happy Donuts.

Mi Barrio??  Where's that.

Mi Barrio is across from Oakland Cemetery on the corner of Memorial and Boulevard.  I personally like it, though I wouldn't say it's anything particularly special.  It's way better than Blue Frog was and a totally different style than Holy Taco.

but I guess Kirkwood doesn't really count as SE ATL.

Eh, close enough.  And yeah, a pretty good place to kill a business, though I do like La Petite Marche over there for weekend brunch.

Gotta profess my love for Mi Barrio as well.  Have a friend who lives in Tacotown, and we'll walk over there every once in a while.  Never a bad meal there, though the service can be slow at times.

Oh, yes.  I've actually been there once a few years ago.   No complaints.  I think I remember the prices being good too.

The plus-size lingerie store, I think it's called Smoochies or something. I think I've seen someone walk out of there once in the five years. Wait, is it even still there?

This is the place that asked, "What has the Village done for us?" when they were asked to put up an EAV Santa flier.
Apparently the Village has done something, since they're still in business after five years of selling to a narrow (or should that be wide?) demographic.

Also the place that threatened to "file a complaint for lost income" (to whom, I don't know) during the Strut when the street was shut down during the parade.

Wow.  Sounds like I need to turn Kevin loose on them.  He'll talk some sense into them.

They probably have a booming e-marketplace. Right?

Me too.  The kid and I stop by the Happy Donut on a semi-weekly basis and yep there is always a customer in there.  If a customer isn't there, one will be soon.  You get in and you get out.

I bet. Kevin could charm the rattle off a snake.

Nothing but love for both Mi Barrio and Happy Donuts - and there's always been all sorts of folks in both anytime I've gone (which is probably more frequent than it should be since neither one is exactly a health food restaurant).

I was actually amazed that the tanning salon lasted as long as it did.

Hold up - there may be a bright spot. The super-smoky hipster/biker bar was called what - Aces? Well Aces has closed its doors and a new pub opened up. My Kirkwoodian friends speak highly of this new establishment.

That side of the street is technically NE Atlanta ...rather silly of whoever made the decision to use Boulevard drive as the line rather than Dekalb avenue.

I didn't even know that it closed but apparently it's the same people that are running it.

That article doesn't make it sound appealing in the least. 

"Well we saw a decline in business so we're gonna do a gastropub because people love gastropubs." 

Sounds like their heart is really in it.

No, Jak's All Inn didn't last.
