uh oh.. the secret is out. our zip code was on this ajc article:

below is an excerpt of the article..

Still bargains intown?

Revitalizing neighborhoods are emerging east and west of the core neighborhoods in the center of the city of Atlanta. "We anticipate seeing a couple of years of double-digit growth before it levels out in neighborhoods like Old Fourth Ward and Cabbagetown," says Brown, who notes she sees lots of growth in the Kirkwood, East Lake and Edgewood neighborhoods. "They're rich in history, and the area offers the convenience of intown living with affordable single-family homes."

Monica Manwaring, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty-Intown Atlanta, adds, "Neighborhoods like Sylvan Hills and Capitol View were built by the same developers who worked in Morningside. You'll find lots of brick bungalows to restore. Priced in the upper $100,000s, those bungalows appeal to singles, gays, young marrieds and in general to people who want to be active in the neighborhood and in the schools and help make change happen."

Best values now?

Brown says to look at Howell Station, Berkeley Park and Home Park. "These neighborhoods are at the start of their upswing." Roseberry adds, "If you pick it right, you can double the price of your home with a little sweat equity in a few years. That's one of the more attractive elements for people moving into town."

Jenny Nix, Realtor with Keller Williams-Intown Atlanta, suggests, "Look in the 30318 ZIP code. Prices are affordable, and people like knowing they can buy a house and increase the value of the property and the neighborhood. My neighborhood of Underwood Hills used to be full of singles and young couples; now we have 150 kids under the age of 5. That makes a tremendous difference in an area and in the schools." Her Keller Williams colleague Realtor Wagura Kamwana agrees. "Buying a house in a developing neighborhood is a chance for you to play a role in creating a vision and seeing it become reality."

taylor's 2 months

picture above: taylor's visit to daddy's office, right before her 2 month's check up. she gained almost 3 lbs since her one-month check up and now at 12 lbs 4 oz. she also grew 3 inches and now at 23.5 inches. we can't believe how fast she's growing.

here are a few more pics from the august 2007 album:

8-5.5

another useless and random itk.. the man in the pic above is the tallest person in the world, standing tall at 8 feet 5.5 inches. apparently his "growth spurt started at age 14 after a brain operation apparently stimulated his pituitary gland," according to the ajc article.

3.3 out of 100

if you come to our house via I-285, you would have to cross this bridge to get from cobb to fulton/city of atlanta to our house. from this ajc article, this bridge crossing over the chattachoochee river was rated 3.3 out of 100. needless to say i took I-75 home instead yesterday. with all the trucks crossing this 64-yr old bridge, come to our house via I-285 at your own risk. haha.
