💼 What do you do?
Owner of LIV Fitness
🍔 Best meal you've had on the East side in the last month?
Deer and Dove (in Decatur) is outstanding!
💵 Best purchase you’ve made under $20 in the area?
Probably a record at Wax 'N' Facts in L5P. That place is the real deal and legendary.
🚌 Something you wish existed on this side of town.
I wish Atlanta as a whole had a more robust public transit system.
🍕 A business or person on this side of town who deserves more love?
Check out Urban Pie (in Kirkwood): creative and fantastic pizza and they really care!
🚪 Where do you go when you need to get out of the house but have nowhere to be?
It's not on the East Side of Atlanta, but I like to go to a trail (for mountain biking or hiking) in the woods.
🫨 Something neighbors might be surprised to learn about you.
Due to the nature of my job, people may perceive me as outgoing, but I am actually very shy.
👍 What does this side of town get right that other parts of Atlanta don't?
Atlanta has changed a lot in the past 30 years. The East Side, with its great neighborhoods, has retained a lot of its "old Atlanta" vibe even as things change.
