Crime alert

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

Dear Residents,

We received notice of an attempted break in on Palafox Drive. It appears that the break in attempt occurred midday while the residents were out running errands. Someone tried to pry open the rear double doors (luckily, they were unsuccessful at entering). The police were contacted and a report was filed. The residents left a car in the drive way and the shades were closed. Neighbors did not notice any vehicles pull down into the driveway.

As a reminder, when you leave the house. Check for cars you don't recognize. They are probably targeting your house. Be aware of construction crews in the area, and finally write down the serial numbers of your electronics. That is how criminals are caught.
Sincerely,

Kate Martin

Woodland Hills Neighborhood Association

The upscale, family-friendly businesses of Cheshire Bridge Road are working together to bring you the 2nd annual Taste & Tour of Cheshire Bridge. Some of Atlanta's top restaurants will offer tastings while other retail stores will offer raffles and discounts. Ticket sales from this year's event will benefit the Lindbergh LaVista Corridor Coalition or LLCC and the Blueprints plan to beautify the Lindbergh LaVista Corridor area.

Atlanta, GA, September 11-12 - The Taste & Tour of Cheshire Bridge will operate Saturday September 11 and Sunday September 12. Tastings, tours, will be offered from 12 noon to 5 PM with a gathering after 5 PM at Cheshire Pointe (2000 Cheshire Bridge Road) with local musicians, artist and information booths on civic associations, nature conservancies, park services and public service groups.

Ticket prices are $20 each for the entire weekend. Many of the Cheshire Bridge businesses will be offering different samples, tastings, and giveaways for each day of the event.

Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Lindbergh LaVista Corridor Coalition, a non-profit organization for promoting the safety and progress of the business nodes along the corridor as well as creating a blueprint for sustainable and progressive neighborhood planning.

This morning, I received a link to an article from AJC.com highlighting a couple who purchased a home here in Woodland Hills.
I am pasting the article below.  Welcome to Michael and Katie Baddour.  I hope you enjoy this neighborhood as much as we all do.
Finally, if you see a new neighbor moving in or you are new to the neighborhood , please email us at welcoming@woodlandhillsatlanta.org.
Thanks.

For the AJC
Katie Baddour didn't see her house in Atlanta until the weekend before she and husband Michael closed on the home. They were moving from Memphis, Tenn., to Atlanta for Michael's position as a resident at Emory University School of Medicine. Michael searched with Katie's father, Hunter Tison, during the spring while she was still working. The 26-year-old couple chatted about their first home in Atlanta's Woodland Hills neighborhood and the pleasant surprise in Katie's hometown.
