A Pretty Good Year for Boulevard So Far

The beleaguered area surrounding Atlanta's favorite street named after a street type is making progress. As Creative Loafing's Scott Henry notes, some heads were scratched when Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall declared 2012 The Year of Boulevard. And what was supposed to be a year of renewal got off to a difficult start. But thanks to the efforts of a broad coalition including the Atlanta Police Department, TEDx Atlanta and a collection of neighborhood businesses (not to mention Kwanza Hall), there are palpable signs of improvement.
