Call it divine intervention: Atlanta comedy club Dad's Garage has made the finalist list for the Urban Land Institute's Atlanta annual design awards. The troupe's new venue, a converted church in Old Fourth Ward, ain't no laughing matter.
The winning proposal, titled "The Midtown Beat," included a phased intervention which would bring a range of uses — offices, retail, a hotel, apartments, condos, and loads of public outdoor space — between Linden Avenue and 5th Street.
