Anyway, hopefully bringing this back on topic, once again I personally have no problem at all with this church going in Cumberland. With one condition: the building needs to look modern and look pretty good. The Passion City down at Lindbergh looks so horrible. Looks like a Sam's Club or something. That's not a church. By contrast, I love the beautiful cathedrals and churches along Peachtree. God really needs to issue some kind of architectural ground rules.

With good reason. It's a former Home Depot Expo.

Passion City Church Buckhead was the same thing. Now it all makes sense.

And many of the worst people didn't attend such programs. There's no direct correlation here, only coincidences.

Agreed. I'm just saying that attending such things in one's youth doesn't guarantee a positive result. It only takes one exception to prove that, and I know more than one.

Well, sorry if this has already been mentioned but it sounds like a big deal.

A development proposal filed Tuesday for a mixed use project to open in 2020 in Sandy Springs is the latest indication of developers’ optimism about the current construction cycle, as well as the demand for more apartments in the Perimeter Center market.

The Simpson Organization intends to redevelop its Peachtree Dunwoody Pavilion property. TSO plans to tear down one office building and add a hotel, apartments, retail and office space, according to a Development of Regional Impact paper filed by Sandy Springs.

TSO estimates the value at build-out will be $250 million. Tax revenues are estimated at $3.5 million a year, including property and sales taxes, according to the DRI.

Funny how they only show vehicle traffic and not the easy of using MARTA, which tells me this project will be built geared towards vehicles.
