About

Discouraged by the fact that the city of Decatur, GA doesn’t have a single source for daily news about our community, I decided to do something about it.

Though a relatively new resident of the city, my local travails and studies on the east side of Atlanta have brought me in close contact with Decatur’s history, development and fine establishments for many years. After becoming a tax paying citizen early in 2007, and subsequently falling in love with the city, I found myself trolling the far reaches of web to stay informed about the city’s goings on. I wished for a website that would give me the latest news and opinion about the city in an entertaining and engaging fashion.

So in late Sept. ‘07, I created DecaturMetro.com

Decatur Metro is dedicated to bringing you all the latest news from incorporated Decatur, Georgia and its surrounding environs every day. While it may not be the city that never sleeps (all those kids have to be get up in time to make an eco-friendly commute to/from school!), there’s always something going on in Decatur. Be it a development controversy or one of the many annual festivals, Decatur Metro will always have the latest scoop.

So sit back with a pint of high-gravity beer from the Brick Store, and a plate of fried chicken from Watershed and enjoy the ride!

Thanks for the feedback Catherine! It’s just beginning to get its legs, and with any luck one day it may even have as much style and character as AsianCajuns!

Yes Samantha. This blog focuses primarily on incorporated downtown Decatur (30030), though I do often touch on other DeKalb/Atlanta topics that peak my interest.

Great, informative site! I’ll definitely be checking in regularly to keep on top of all the goings on in the area. Was particularly interested in all of the restaurant changes/closings etc. and hearing about what the plans are. I actually live just on the other side of Avondale Estates in unincorporated dekalb, but consider the city of Decatur “my neighborhood” for the most part. Thanks for your attention to the city.

Take care-
