Ladies and Gents, I must say that I am extremely proud of Sammy. I too, was once told that my business wouldnt survive in its location, and we are now approaching 4yrs! Not everyone was born to be a visionary. Sammy was blessed with a gift to see ahead of time, and has accomplished alot with the place. Instead of tryin to tear him down, stopping by and being supportive would be so much more productive. Dont forget, what is spoken into existence, can never be retrieved, and also, what goes around, comes around. You never know….you too may be in Sammy’s position one day, and will be lookin for that support and wont be able to get it; And when u begin to wonder why no one is supporting you – jus think back to the comments you made in regards to this man’s vision….He is actually doing something positive, and you are sitting here speaking negativity into his vision. I support sammy, and will be there for the long haul…i look forward to seeing every negative comment that was made on here, walk thru that door one day. God bless!

Garden boy,
by fair chance do you mean living somewhere for free, eating for free, and smoking crack? That sounds petty fair to me. I know some people are down on there luck every once in a while, but that place is f-up. You need to go inside sometime.
I would love to see this area clean up, but it just can’t happen with that shelter there.

Look at the surrounding bars/restaurants on any night. Dead as a doornail. This place is going nowhere

We moved into the area one year ago… because we could see the potential, and yet got a great price on a condo space because of all the people who are afraid to live here due to the proximity of the homeless shelter. I still believe our decision sound.
The homelessness is a delplorable societal problem for all of us, and I wish we Atlantsns were wise enought to solve it. However, I believe that the Pine St shelter is on its last legs. The property has been foreclosed upon, real estate with a Peachtree Street address is valuable, and when (or if ?) the economy improves, it will become too valuable for such a use.
Whether the unfortunate homeless citizens will depart with it is another question, but we were willing to bet the situation would get much better when the shelter is gone. And so, apparently, was Mr. Tekle. If so, he will be lauded as a visionary rather than a fool. I know my vote is for visionary!

As for the shooting earlier this month… people get robbed or shot in, or after leaving, nightclubs in Buckhead or redneck bars in Forsyth County. Does that make them unacceptably dangerous places to live?
