Thank you What for being honest. These stories about CH are always the same...murder ave, blah blah blah. I find it funny when ppl talk about fulton they always like to look over the longstanding businesses like the country house, the various barbershops, fish & crustaceans, golden krust,etc...and also look over some of the newer businesses like LOX, Sisters Hardware, the clothing store right next door to the countryhouse, etc. Just because it doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean it doesn't exist...

3.50 for a rice crispy treat?! Please!! Diverse is what dekalb used to be when there was...the korean mini market(previously owned by white residents), Cellars, a bike shop, magazine store(bobs..still there under new ownership),sporting good store, alibi bar, two steps down, elly's, cinos italian restuarant, merkens diner,a hardware store, video rental, doctors office, pharmacy, beauty salon, elly’s, pizza shop, barber shop, butcher, antique shop, Sheilas(red bamboo), chinese restaurant, real state office, liquor store, hat store, and clermont lounge ALL located on Dekalb. Now there wasn't higher end spots as you call them but I don't think diversity is just contigent on having that...Yeah I wish some of the closed storefronts would be utilized on fulton but I have no problem at all with the businesses that are currently here and would have no problem if more of them opened up.
I also dont have a problwm with dekalb as the way it is, I was just stating the truth. I really have a problem with the way ppl look down on the businesses on fulton street because they don't neccessarily appeal to them. I'm sorry to tell you but there is no drastic change coming to fulton street anytime soon.
