David Parham Photography | @dparhamphoto | David Partham is a drummer and music aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, animal lover, avid-reader, film fanatic, stand-up comedy junkie, and of course, a photographer. He doesn’t have one specific niche in his work, but that’s because he feels that mastering different types of photography only strengthens the projects he takes on. His goal in a photo shoot is to get you to forget you’re even being photographed and then to capture those moments that you’re lost in.

Film update coming at you. Fight Night returns this week for a second round of shooting in Metropolitan. There will likely not be parking lane closures with no stoppages. Access to the post office will not be hindered.

On Saturday, May 11 EABA joined forces with B*ATL once again to host the Whispers of History walking tour.  We had a great turnout and the weather was perfect! Co-author of the book Images of East Atlanta, Henry Bryant, was our guide as we walked along the front lines of the Battle of Atlanta through EAV and the surrounding neighborhood. Henry shared his extensive knowledge on the places, people and events that play a large part in our village's rich history.

As an added bonus, tour go-ers and passersby were able to get in in depth look at the Historic Madison Theater through EABA's Friends of the Madison Organization. The FOMO group is dedicated to protecting and revitalizing this amazing historical structure that you may not even know is standing right in the heart of EAV.

Are you having your own version of FOMO about missing this educational and fascinating opportunity? Check out the info below....

We are so fortunate to have a dedicated case manager through Intown Care's pilot program in EAV. As a reminder to all, Michael has provided a little clarification on how and when he is available.

A note from EAV's Intown Cares Case Manager, Michael Nolan: 

"My actual working hours flex some, but as a rule I am available between 7am and 6pm Monday through Friday.

This is a general breakdown of my standard work week:

Mondays: Client appointments, admin work, street outreach

Tuesdays: 9a-12p open office hours, street outreach in the afternoon

Wednesdays: 10a-12p Mercy Care clinic in my office

Thursdays: Client appointments, admin work, street outreach

Fridays: 9a-12p open office hours

If you want to see me or refer someone to come see me at my office (488 Moreland Ave SE), Tuesday and Friday mornings are when that is most easily able to happen. If you would like to make an appointment to talk, you can call or text 943-213-7510 anytime 24/7. If I am not immediately available when you call or text, it is because I am working with someone. Voicemails and texts are responded to within 48 business hours (if a response is required), but that doesn't mean I am not already working on the situation.

I don't take referrals or discuss work via social media because it is important for me to be able to keep solid records and that is impossible when communication is happening all over the place. If you would like my email address to communicate that way, send a text and I'll be happy to provide it."

Excerpt: 

"The enhanced support for unhoused residents in East Atlanta is part of a pilot program through Intown Cares, a local nonprofit organization, that aims to target homelessness through a dedicated case manager.

Counselor Michael Nolan spends 40 hours a week on the ground making connections with unhoused residents and helping them get a roof over their heads."

Make the Right Call - ATL 311 Day

On 311 Day (March 11), the City of Atlanta launched its Make the Right Call Campaign. The purpose of the campaign was to emphasize the responsible use of calling 911 versus utilizing 311.  Some of the most common non-emergency calls to 911 include issues involving landlord-tenant disputes, barking dogs, noise complaints, illegally parked cars and lost and found property. While these concerns are important, the City encourages residents to recognize that 911 should be strictly reserved for genuine emergencies, involving immediate threats to health, safety, property, house fires, vehicle accidents or ongoing criminal activities. By making the right call, our E911 system is able to address true emergencies and create a safer Atlanta for residents and visitors.
