Reimagining the Joel Award

During the June IPNA meeting we discussed the renaming of our neighborhood community service award. As you may know, the award was created in the mid-1970s by Robert Griggs, the founder of Inman Park Restoration, as a way for young, pioneering neighbors to recognize one another’s efforts in revitalizing our long-neglected neighborhood. The award became known as the Joel Award in recognition of Joel Hurt, the surveyor and developer of Inman Park.

As awareness has grown in recent years about Joel Hurt and his history of using and abusing convict labor, his name has become uncomfortable for many. (For reference, see Slavery by Another Name by Douglas Blackmon.) Clearly, Joel Hurt doesn’t represent the values of 21^st century Inman Park. It is time for us to select a new name for the award.

Streets Alive is on Sunday, June 9, 2019, 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm. It's over 8.8 miles long and include the closure of Dekalb Ave. It's a great day to walk on streets we normally drive. Put on your walking shoes, jump on your bike or bring your skateboard and enjoy pedestrian friendly streets. For those in cars please be patient. MARTA has a revised bus schedule for the day. Read it here.  Click here for a large map of the route. 

The Little Five Points Alliance, INC, has written their Bylaws. Please read them over. We will be voting on them at our June meeting, Wednesday, June 19. If you have any questions or concerns please email [email protected].

Calling all golf carts!!

It's time more neighbors got involved in Atlanta's zaniest and most colorful parade. If a float seems like too much to manage this late in the game (apathetic chicken), think about competing in the Neighborhood Golf Cart Contest! Flowers - butterflies - balloons - streamers - skeletons? Anything goes! Just gussy up that golf buggy and give it a whirl!   

In addition to the sheer fame and glory of simply being in the Parade, you could win an AMAZING blue ribbon to pass on to your grandchildren.

Email [email protected] to register and for more information.  (You gotta register!)

Please pay close attention to the street closing and remove your cars from the streets prior to the closing in order to avoid being towed. 

Closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday:

There's a lot going on in Little 5 Points and you can be a part of it! Get your name on a paver in Findley Plaza or adopt an item in Little 5 Points to help in the beautification effort.
