Say Goodbye to the Stone Mountain Super Target…

Lane Bailey - Thursday, 21 January 2010 09:21

Originally built in 1999, the Super Target located in the shadow of Stone Mountain, next to the old Olympic Tennis Venue, will be closing as of January 30th, 2010.  Faced with declining profits from the store, Target is pulling the plug.

Mrs. GarageGuy and I had the opportunity earlier this week to visit with Brendon Barclay, Executive Director of Sustaining Urban Villages.  Along with a score of other adults and kids (mostly homeschoolers…), we had volunteered our morning to help with the construction of an outdoor classroom.

Each year, during the third weekend in October, Scots gather in the meadow at Stone Mountain Park. For 37 years the Stone Mountain Highland Games have not only provided cool athletic competition, but also a great musical performances and social interactions.

I have been to a few of the events over the years and enjoyed watching athletic events like the Caber Toss (this is throwing a telephone pole, kids…), the Hammer Throw and the Sheaf Toss.

I’m also a sucker for bagpipe music.

Hit up the Stone Mountain Highland Games website for more info. Events start Friday evening and continue through Sunday. There IS an additional charge to get into the meadow, aside from the park’s entry fee.

Seriously!  I actually was going to write about this yesterday, but didn’t want to release something this important on April Fool’s Day…  Because this is NO JOKE.

HUD has a $100 Down Payment Program that is available on specific homes and through specific lenders.  I have one of those lenders programmed in my phone…  So, while the rates are amazingly low, prices have come down and the inventories are still generous, this is the time to take advantage of this kind of program.

Home ownership is the foundation of the American Dream.  Being able to have a home to call your own is one of the greatest things this country offers, and even as the housing bubble burst, many have been looking for a way to own their own piece of the American dream…

If you want to take advantage of this program, Ken Cook at Novation Mortgage should be your first call, and I should be your second.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Lane Bailey - Thursday, 5 February 2009 11:50

I just ran across a story in the AJC about a bill before the legislature that would force cities and counties to not ignore foreclosures when they are appraising homes for tax purposes.

Basically, currently and historically, cities and counties don’t
