IPNA is not endorsing or promoting this endeavor in anyway but providing a public service announcement and information. 

In September 2019, The Patch Works Art & History Center - and the Cabbagetown community at large - will be presenting the play Cabbagetown: 3 Women, an Oral History Play with Music in the neighborhood’s outdoor amphitheater. Written in 1978 by R. Cary Bynum (and with original music by the late Joyce Brookshire), Cabbagetown: 3 Women tells the story of three, life-long Cabbagetown residents: Beatrice “Aunt Beadie” Dalton (played by Sarah Knight). Lila Brookshire (played by Karen Tanner), and Effie Dodd Gray (played by Kim Cohran). Music played by Barbara Panter and Mick Kinney.

All are invited to a free screening of "Seattle is Dying" at 7 Stages, 1105 Euclid Avenue in Little Five Points, 7:30 pm, Tuesday, August 20.  

First broadcast in March 2019, this one-hour documentary explores the issues of drug addiction, mental illness, homelessness, and failed public policies in Seattle. It concludes with a look at innovative treatment solutions being pioneered in Rhode Island and a call to action. Its message speaks to some of the challenges facing the Little Five Points business district and also affecting parts of Poncey-Highland, Inman Park, Reynoldstown, Edgewood, and Candler Park.

Eric Johnson of KOMO News, the program's writer, producer, and narrator writes, "This program... asks the question, 'Why aren't we doing more? Why don't we have the courage to intervene in lives that are, in the face of grave sickness, reeling out of control?' It's called 'Seattle is Dying,' and I believe the title to be true. But it's not a hopeless program. There are ideas and concepts in the show that could start conversations about change."

I am a reporter with 11Alive News. We will be launching a new, hyper-local news platform called My East Atlanta News, on Monday July 15. We currently  operate My Lawrenceville News (www.mylawrencevillenews.com), My Cumming News, and My East Point News—all of which are a part of the 11Alive Newsroom. I am excited to hear about story ideas out of the East Atlanta area for us to cover in our broadcasts and digital platforms. Please feel free to spread the word and email or call me with any story ideas on interesting people and on-goings in your community.
