The dog pictured to the left was found this morning on Arborcrest Drive in Decatur, unable to move, probably due to having been hit by a car. Compassionate folks stayed with him and the pooch is now under the care of the Lifeline Project folks at the DeKalb County Animal Services.
The dog did not have a collar and is not microchipped. If you recognize this dog, please direct his owners to http://dekalbanimalservices.com/
UPDATE: here's his DCAS profile

UPDATE 2: July 24 via Facebook: "looking a bit perkier this morning, but he still can't walk and is still in urgent need of rescue"
Since the owner has not been found yet, a fundraiser has been set up to help cover vet costs, see https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/fpRU8?psid=64149191971240c7b171d21ca1a7943d&fb_ref=share__61TYu1
UPDATE 3: "Rescue pending" status posted on DCAS, meaning, a rescue group has stepped forward to get this dog out of the pokey and provide an environment where he can recover and then be adopted. YAY!
UPDATE 4: Per a Facebook update, vets determined that this dog was shot at some point and a bullet fragment migrated to his spine, causing hind-leg paralysis; he will be evaluated at UGA. He also appears to have been on his own for a while. The New England Humane Society (Facebook, web), based in northern Rhode Island and with established relationship with rural Georgia shelters, has agreed to take him in for rehoming. For years, a number of rescue volunteers and organizations have been relocating dogs and cats from states with a surplus of unwanted animals to areas where there is high demand for adoptable pets. "Lovell" (as he is being called by DCAS) faces mounting vet bills ($800 so far); if you would like to contribute, you may do so via his Fundrazr page.

from Atlanta Gas Light:
Atlanta Gas Light contractors are scheduled to begin a pipeline replacement project in the area near Medlock Park in the coming weeks. The specific area in the MANA area that will be directly impacted is Scott Circle.
This project is part of Atlanta Gas Light’s Vintage Plastic Pipeline Replacement Program. Replacing the older vintage plastic pipe with newer, technologically advanced plastic pipe with a longer useful life will help ensure an even safer and more reliable natural gas pipeline system.
Appropriate signage will be in place to help direct traffic around work areas. A letter and fact sheet was mailed to property owners directly along the project path. There is also a project specific email and voicemail for residents to share questions or concerns – 404- 584-3142 / vintageplastic@aglresources.com

Suburban Plaza redevelopment begins
![]() |
| Suburban Plaza: demolition began at the corner of North Decatur and Medlock Roads. |
Staying true to the timeline released last June, Selig Enterprises began demolition work at its Suburban Plaza location. Following an early start on Friday, the area that recently housed a discount mattress store quickly became a pile of rubble.
The images below offer a refresher of the site plans Selig released in 2012 and are captioned with links to additional information. To review all posts relating to Suburban Plaza, click here.
