Highly recommend this place. Went with some friends last night and it’s a very solid bowling alley/gaming palour

Didn’t have their food but it looked damn good.

My wife has been wanting to go. What is the atmosphere like? I picture it like ormsbys (sp?) but with bowling.

BTW if you over in that area I highly recommend B'S Cracklin BBQ over in Riverside.
As good if not better than Community Q

I just realized I know exactly what you are talking about. Used to be Hotty Hogs. Great environment in a horrible neighborhood.

Correct but the neighborhood and area is changing.

Lots of folks snatching up property around there

I live at south Cobb and east west connector. I haven’t been over there lately. May need to take a look at what they are doing.

No doubt there's still some shite neighborhoods around there but if you go a little East and South you can see the development around Bolton up towards Ellsworth Industrial.Pretty soon that whole Indutrial area will be converted over to mid rises and townhomes.West Midtown area is booming and it was nothing to write home about 15 years ago

He didn't happen to own the Georgia Pig, did he? I think it was off the Exit 28 or 29 on I-95.

That place was legit. A cabin with the smoke pit inside, so when you walk in the place there is just smoke everywhere. It was incredible.

It's closed now and the building was demolished, but I think it was open for a long time.

New Publix at Marietta/Bolton/Moores Mill and the upcoming development across Marietta will continue to help.

Beyond Bolton is still the wild west, but the entire swath from West Midtown up to that area is slowly improving. It's just easy access back to the hood so if you're out on the frontier you're going to feel it. Crime has dropped off but I suspect it'll increase over the summer due to police shortages.

Of course, Scofflaw is right there too.

Went there Friday for the first time. Knew a bartender and got some free drinks. That will always be a good feeling.

That's a tough area, they are doing everything they can to gentrify it tho. The new westside reservoir park should help
