Attack these exotic interlopers!

4/7/2022

 
​Join the next monthly Forest Restoration, Saturday April 9, 9am-12noon, signup at treesatlanta.org or just turn up at Underwood Hills Park on the day!
Removal of invasive plants is essential to the health of our Certified Wildlife Habitat. Without it, native species are smothered and choked to extinction, leaving no food or homes for native animals. Most of these exotic interlopers are escapees from gardens, sold as “quick fixes” by local nurseries.

A fresh coat of paint…

3/31/2022

 
​The restaurant on 1201 Collier Rd NW Atlanta, GA 30318, known to many residents as ‘DePalma’s
Porch’ has got a fresh coat of paint- but not only that.
According to information obtained by the Underwood Hills Neighborhood Association (UHNA), it has undergone extensive remodeling and is about to be re-launched as a Hookah Lounge.

Hookah Lounges have a long tradition and originate from Persia/ India as a place where a ‘Hookah’ also known as Shisha or waterpipe is smoked and typically drinks and snacks are served. The modern version that has become trendy in recent years, especially among students typically serves alcoholic drinks and is often more of a nightclub with music and dancing. In recent years Hookah Lounges got a bad reputation in Atlanta after some incidents involving violence.

Although this side of Collier roads does not technically belong to Underwood Hills, we are in touch with
relevant bodies, local politicians, and the chair of the neighboring NPU-C to better understand what is
planned as it will directly affect our neighborhood, in particular residents in Collier Green right opposite on Collier Rd.

We will have this topic on the agenda for our upcoming Neighborhood Meeting on Monday, April 11 at ‘The Works’ (and virtual via Zoom) and have invited Courtney Smith, President of Midtown Neighbors Association, and one of the founders of https://www.clearatl.org/, and an appointee serving on the ATAG3, a task force assembled to address liquor license reforms of policy, procedure, and legislation.

Remember to mark the bag of eggs based on each child’s age group (0-2, 3-6, 7 and up).

Once the event starts the eggs are picked up pretty fast!

"Hope to see you with your basket." - Shane the Easter bunny

Success at the NPU-D meeting

3/23/2022

 
Another great example of the benefits of community action; The alcohol license for the Shell on Howell Mill Rd near the Piedmont Center was up for review at the NPU_D meeting last Tuesday, which presented an opportunity for the UHNA to request something to help our neighbors.
UHNA Playgroup Chair Shane Murphy (standing in for UHNA NPU-D rep Eva Nason) ​spoke with the Shell station owner and their representative about their security floodlights shining all night every night into the rear of houses on Ridgeway Ave. They agreed to adjust the lights away from residents' homes.
Shane motioned to approve the liquor license with the condition that the lights be pointed away from homes on Ridgeway. The motion was approved 18-0-2 (that’s zero opposed with two abstentions).
The Shell representative promised to follow up and see if the adjustment is effective. Thank you Shane!

It's worth noting that several attempts to resolve this issue via store management and the City produced no result. If you'd like to be more involved in your community contact uhadmin@underwoodhills.org or any of the UHNA Leadership
