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 20th 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.
The IPNA meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 19, 7:30 pm at the Trolley Barn.

It's time more neighbors got involved in Atlanta's zaniest and most colorful parade. If a float seems like too much to manage this late in the game (apathetic chicken), think about competing in the Neighborhood Golf Cart Contest! Flowers - butterflies - balloons - streamers - skeletons? Anything goes! Just gussy up that golf buggy and give it a whirl!
In addition to the sheer fame and glory of simply being in the Parade, you could win an AMAZING blue ribbon to pass on to your grandchildren.
Email [email protected] to register and for more information. (You gotta register!)
Please pay close attention to the street closing and remove your cars from the streets prior to the closing in order to avoid being towed.

Welcome and Introduction of Newcomers
The Inman Park Neighborhood Association Meeting is Wednesday, March 20, 2019, 7:30 pm at the Trolley Barn. The meeting agenda is listed below. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Coming to a meeting is the best way to find out what's going on in your community.
Agenda Summary:
February 26- March 7, 2019, the City of Atlanta hosted public engagement meetings in support of its Renew Atlanta Bond/TSPLOST program prioritization and rebaselining efforts.
The meetings were held at four locations – one in each quadrant of the City. The purpose of these meetings was to inform the public about the program’s status, funding shortfalls, and to receive feedback for consideration in prioritizing the project list. The format for the public engagement meetings consisted of two parts: 1) a general overview was presented by the City’s Deputy COO, Joshua Williams, and Renew Atlanta/TSPLOST Interim General Manager, Michele Wynn; 2) small-group breakout sessions were held to provide constituents with a more detailed overview of the three proposed prioritization scenarios and delved deeper into the project list. Constituents also had the opportunity to ask questions, provide suggestions to the staff recommended list, and leave comments for response and/or consideration. Throughout the public engagement meetings, Council President Moore and Council Members Westmoreland, Dickens, Bond, Farokhi, Ide, Smith, Shook, Matzigkeit, Hillis, Boone, Overstreet, and Sheperd attended one or more meetings.
There are new rules for personal golf carts during Inman Park Festival this year. Personal Golf carts will not be allowed in the festival footprint during festival hours. They may park nearby. The only exception is Butterfly Ball. Personal golf carts will be allowed near the tent Friday night.
Below is a map that details where personal golf carts will be allowed Saturday and Sunday.
