Ashford is the one I was thinking of. Ididn't realize they fed to chamblee, I just assumed they all fed to Cross Keys or people sent them private.

If you're near Skyland you're not far at all from where we used to live. I remember when all that stuff in teh "skyland" area (west of Clairmont) was being built, and when they tore down the old dilapitated skyland park (inherited from Dekalb county in 2013) across from some government office and started building the new park and JL elementary. I bet that area is really nice now.

Yep, we're in AP. I remember that government office as well. The area of Skyland between Dresden and Buford Hwy has turned into JLES, a huge park, 5-6 new expensive houses and a giant townhouse project that is completely sold out now that backs up to Dresden. They are also nearly done with another mixed use complex right next to the stuff on Dresden near MARTA (Kalidiscope, Verde, etc) that is going to be basically exactly like it. And building a new massive City Hall in the MARTA parking lot on the corner of Peachtree/North Druid (and built a Fox Bros and CFA across the street from it). It's pretty nuts.

Every day there's a new older house getting knocked down and some $1.4M house going up around us. It's wild and I am perpetually wondering what the hell all these people do
