Creative Loafing Looks at East Point and College Park

The Keirin @ Dick Lane Velodrome


Creative Loafing published its neighborhood guide where East Point and College Park are treated as one neighborhood.


 Along with a map of community businesses and services, several residents voiced what they'd like for the community.

Concerns about schools, desire for community development


Here's a taste:




East Point residents have some charming and historic neighborhoods of their own, as well as a new generation of single professionals, working couples, and young families committed to bonding together by preserving their tree-lined streets, embracing diversity ...



And one view:



"I grew up in East Point in the '70s and '80s and moved back last year to historic College Park. I'd like to see the realization of downtown College Park and East Point, both Main Streets, continue to grow into thriving business districts."

— Paul Chapman Sidener, 43, chef



Do you think the points of view accurately reflect the community?
