Popeye's Coming to North DeKalb Mall Area

The chicken restaurant plans to take over the Gold & Diamond Gallery on North Druid Hills Road.

The North DeKalb Mall area is slowly turning into the community's chicken district it seems. Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen is knocking down the Gold & Diamond Gallery on North Druid Hills Road and moving in, according to Tomorrow's News Today. This just about a month after Zaxby's, another popular chicken chain restaurant, opened right next door. Here's more information on Popeye's from Tomorrow's News Today: Popeyes plans to convert the structure erect a new structure and is applying to both rezone the building from NS (Neighborhood Shopping) District to C1 (Local Commerical) District and to add a drive-thru window.  Obviously, the building would change in shape and appearance and will yield a 2,100 square-foot restaurant.  Read the full …

Traffic is already hideous along that part of L'ville at rush hour, any more development on that drag next to Zaxbys is going to really make traffic bad. And for some completely unknown reason, they put up a light to stop people from flowing onto 78, but there isn't enough lead room for it. So cars literally get backed up all the way to L'ville. There were not problems merging onto 78 before, …   more ›

AMC Bans Masks, Fake Weapons From Theaters

AMC, which has a 16-theater complex at North DeKalb Mall, responds to massacre in Colorado.

AMC Theatres, which has a 16-theater complex at North DeKalb Mall, released the following statement via Facebook following the shooting massacre at a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado:  "AMC Theatres is deeply saddened by the Aurora tragedy.

Golden Corral Coming to North DeKalb Mall

The buffet restaurant will open in the largely unused mall parking lot behind Chick-fil-A and the now-defunct Checker's restaurants on North Druid Hills Road.

Good news for people who like waterfalls of chocolate and cotton candy with their chicken and biscuits. Golden Corral is finally coming to North DeKalb Mall, according to Tomorrow's News Today, the popular Atlanta retail and development blog. Patch wrote about this about a year ago, but the blog guesses the restaurant may open later this year: As I mentioned earlier, there is also still the hope that a Costco will come to the mall at some point. Additionally, there is also talk that the current triple drive-thru Chick-fil-A will be taken down, along with the adjacent former Checkers, and that a full service Chick-fil-A will be built in their place.  Check out the blog post for more information.

The popular chicken restaurant will open on North Druid Hills Road on Monday, July 9.

Zaxby's just sent out information about a new location that will open Monday just outside Decatur. Here what they said: “Decatur residents have shown great support for the brand, and we see this area as an opportunity to expand the business,” said T.J. McLeroy.

That area is God awful already. They need a dedicated lane to run along the entrances of the restaurants to assist motorists turning into them, as for the people blocking the exits so customers are unable to turn out, and then everyone blocking the lanes to go left across, sigh...   more ›

'Breaking Dawn' All Bark and a Little Bite

The latest Twilight film features the most anticipated wedding in years (minus, of course, the one with Will and Kate -- and that Kardashian mess).

  It has been three years since the first movie and the wait is finally over for fans of "The Twilight Saga." Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) tie the knot at last in the highly anticipated "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1." The film is the fourth in a supernatural soap opera franchise that has already raked in nearly $2 billion worldwide. If you are one of the only people on the planet who do not know about this series, here is all you need to know: Vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan (who happens to be a virgin) are getting married and their werewolf friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is not very happy about it. There are really no spoilers here. Your teenage daughter can tell you exactly what happens. …
