Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall is optimistically declaring 2012 "The Year of Boulevard." He's scheduled to make some announcements at tonight's meeting of the Fourth Ward Neighborhood Alliance regarding the latest efforts to revitalize this long downtrodden thoroughfare. Among the ideas: establishment of an Atlanta police mini-precinct on Boulevard, as well as strengthening code enforcement. Perhaps the most promising news is that Boulevard's main landlord, Boston-based Wingate Management, is in on the discussion. Let's hope this latest round of initiatives brings some positive change to Old Fourth Ward's most challenged area. [East Atlanta Patch] -Jonathan Carnright
