In September 2019, The Patch Works Art & History Center - and the Cabbagetown community at large - will be presenting the play Cabbagetown: 3 Women, an Oral History Play with Music in the neighborhood’s outdoor amphitheater. Written in 1978 by R. Cary Bynum (and with original music by the late Joyce Brookshire), Cabbagetown: 3 Women tells the story of three, life-long Cabbagetown residents: Beatrice “Aunt Beadie” Dalton (played by Sarah Knight). Lila Brookshire (played by Karen Tanner), and Effie Dodd Gray (played by Kim Cohran). Music played by Barbara Panter and Mick Kinney.

The IPNA meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 21, 7:30 pm at the Trolley Barn.

Welcome and Introduction of Newcomers 

If you have thoughts about scooters and bike lanes in Atlanta, the City of Atlanta is hosting a Town Hall meeting on Monday, Aug. 26th at 6 pm at City Hall. Please spread the word. #inmanpark repost @atlcouncil

 

All are invited to a free screening of "Seattle is Dying" at 7 Stages, 1105 Euclid Avenue in Little Five Points, 7:30 pm, Tuesday, August 20.  

First broadcast in March 2019, this one-hour documentary explores the issues of drug addiction, mental illness, homelessness, and failed public policies in Seattle. It concludes with a look at innovative treatment solutions being pioneered in Rhode Island and a call to action. Its message speaks to some of the challenges facing the Little Five Points business district and also affecting parts of Poncey-Highland, Inman Park, Reynoldstown, Edgewood, and Candler Park.

Eric Johnson of KOMO News, the program's writer, producer, and narrator writes, "This program... asks the question, 'Why aren't we doing more? Why don't we have the courage to intervene in lives that are, in the face of grave sickness, reeling out of control?' It's called 'Seattle is Dying,' and I believe the title to be true. But it's not a hopeless program. There are ideas and concepts in the show that could start conversations about change."

RECENT ROBBERIES IN OUR AREA

Just a brief note to advise that a series of three armed robberies were reported on the night of Thursday, June 20^th in our area. One happened in Candler Park on McLendon. One occurred on Caroline Street by the Edgewood Retail District, and the third in Inman Park on Euclid near Hurt Street. The police report that the perpetrators were three black males driving a “green or brown box type SUV.” Two of the males were armed with handguns. While we hope that this is a one-off incident, please be super careful and aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Watch out for slow moving vehicles. Lastly, if anyone in the area around Euclid/Hurt has video feed that might have captured some of this, please contact either Inman Park Security or Atlanta police.

Asana Partners has deferred their presentation at the June IPNA meeting in order to respond to neighborhood input and will reschedule at a future time.
