Restaurants Three signs of the times
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Sun, May 24, 2009 at 3:51 AM
First sign of the times: Cheap food. I can't think of a better bargain in Midtown than a meal at Eats on Ponce de Leon Ave. Here's half a chicken roasted with jerk seasonings, an ear of fresh corn, a bowl of lima beans and some collards -- for just under $10. And it all tastes good
Second sign of the times: This warning is afixed to the door of Eats.
Third sign of the times: Ansley Mall is doomed to eventual redevelopment but the Piccadilly Cafeteria there is closing this week or next, I'm told. I wonder where the area's church groups will go for dinner now. The parade of hats and suits in colors unknown to nature has long been a favorite Sunday spectacle there.

I am Quoting "The parade of hats and suits in colors unknown to nature has long been a favorite Sunday spectacle there." I find this a bit Racist? Are you referring to the African American Patrons? I'm shocked that creative loafing would publish this!

For anyone entertaining the idea of redeveloping Ansley Mall . . . beware. It sits on a landfill. Many over the years have inquired about redeveloping it but have never figured out to avoid spending the ungodly amounts of money it would take to do this . . . and take responsibility for the environmental repercussions. Good luck though . . . that place is an eye sore.
As an African American (aka black) guy, I too am entertained by "The parade of hats and suits in colors unknown to nature". Let's not pretend that it's a racist observation. Seriously! Regardless of ethnicity, where do you get green, purple and orange double-double breasted suits?
