Dear Inman Park Residents:
Random Productions, LLC wants to inform you that we will be returning, for the last time, to film scenes for our 1950’s period piece television series at the same private residence in your neighborhood on October 7, 2019. Our company will be permitting various portions of the neighborhood streets for production support, and for parking period appropriate vehicles for the actual filming sequences. Most of the scenes will take place inside the residence. However, we do have one exterior day sequence. We will be requesting to permit the following:

A request by Kevin Curry, VP of Public Safety to spend IPNA funds for new patrol car.
A few weeks ago, our old but trusty Inman Park patrol car, the 2007 Ford Crown Vic gave up the ghost and blew a head gasket. It was not worth another repair bill to bring it back to life, so we must replace the car as soon as possible. The patrol is now being performed in the APD officer's private vehicles.
I have asked another neighborhood association patrol, namely Midtown Blue, and several APD officer's for advice on the types and models of recommended patrol vehicles. Two vehicles seem to come up regularly and they are the Ford Explorer (an SUV) and the Toyota Tacoma (an extended cab pickup). Everyone I spoke to seems to think the idea of a taller vehicle offers three distinct advantages; riding higher in the seat so that the patrol officer has better visibility, easier access in and out of the vehicle and lastly more visibility as the officers drive through the neighborhood. Also, they seem to be longer lasting vehicles given the constant on-the-road demand they are subjected to.
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.
Where: Cabbagetown Park - Joyce Brookshire Amphitheater

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

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."
