May’s meet-n-greet is an ice cream social! This fun event will be held from 2-5pm at Dave and Sue’s house, 661 Catherine Street, in their beautiful backyard garden. There are at least 8-10 flavors of ice cream being made by neighbors, and we could always use more! If you feel like churning up a batch please feel free - the more the merrier. Utensils will be provided, BYOB. Bring your appetite and a few neighbors and we will see you there!
It’s that time of year again! Adair Park’s favorite community organization, the Beltline Bike Shop, is hosting their annual porch crawl fundraiser on Saturday, May 19th from 5pm-9pm. This fun time will be held on five porches around Adair Park where you will meet neighbors and other supporters of the Beltline Bike Shop. You will also hear of the impact that the bike shop has had in Southwest Atlanta and Adair Park. Come on out and support this great program!
If you have never been, this event is awesome, and within the borders of Adair Park just north of Ralph David Abernathy. If you are in the need for some furniture, art, knick-knacks or other types of antiques, check out the auction held the 2nd Friday of every month at 556 Tift Street. May’s auction is this Friday at 6:30pm.
Food and drinks are provided, 15% buyer’s premium, APD officer on duty for parking and security, and lots of great items up for auction.

This auction gets a lot of love from Adair Park!

The Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) is participating in Stamp Out Hunger Day! It is so easy to participate. Put your non perishable food – canned meats, vegetables, fish, soup, juice, pasta, cereal and rice – in bags. Do not include items in glass containers. Place the bags near your mailbox. The USPS will pick up the items and all will be delivered to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Don’t let that food you won’t eat take up space, help out others by donating it! For more information, visit the ACFB’s blog post or the national Stamp Out Hunger Day’s Facebook page.
Adair Park is pitching in with Capitol View and the Beltline to do some more cleaning of the urban farm property on Allene Avenue just south of the intersection at Catherine Street. The last cleanup was great, but since they have a dumpster leftover, why not clean a little more? This project is going to help Adair Park out in so many ways. Come on out from 9am to 12pm!
Read a Beltline blog post about the previous cleanup, and here is some more information on the urban farm itself. Thanks again to Fred Yalouris for coming to our meeting on Tuesday to discuss this great project! Also, if you haven’t been on the trail that starts at Catherine Street and Allene Avenue, here is a blog post about the southwest section of the trail, including a video shot from that intersection.
Reminder that tonight, Tuesday May 1, is the Adair Park Today meeting. We will have a special guest from the Atlanta Beltline, Fred Yalouris. He will be there to present updates on the urban farm on Allene Ave as well as to discuss the Beltline in general. We will also have the Atlanta Police Department, City Council and other officials speaking. Topics for discussion are the upcoming June 9th picnic and market called “Saturday in the Park”, the May 5th Beltline cleanup, the historic homes regulation changes and upcoming meet-n-greets. Please grab a neighbor and join us to learn what is going on in your community.
The meeting is held at the Kroc Community Center at 967 Dewey Street, just across Metropolitan from Adair Park. Park in the back, go to the door on the right hand side and hit the buzzer. Tell them you are with Adair Park, and they will let you in. Hope to see you there!
