But these folks cannot do it alone. We are in constant need of new neighbors willing to help out, whether they have only a little or a lot of time they can devote. Please Contact Us and we will be happy to discuss how you might contribute to our efforts.

The rewards of working with the PHCA: 

• Give back to the neighborhood
• Expand your experience by trying out new jobs
• Add experience to your resume
• Meet the best neighbors and work with the most enthusiastic group of volunteers in Atlanta!

Shape Up for Spring & Improve North Highland

With warmer weather around the corner, swimsuit season can’t be far behind.  This year there is no better way to prepare than by getting in shape for the Morningside Mile, Sunday, March 25 at 2:00 PM.  This year’s race is bigger and better than ever,

The exceptional one-mile race features cash prizes, drawing competitors from across the region.  For 2018, we’re adding chip timing to deliver more precise results and a new ‘Just for Fun’ Half-Mile to launch the after party.  If you’re not a competitive runner, there is still something for you.  The race features several waves:

·         Competitive Runner—under 7-minute mile

·         Recreational Runner—more than 7-minute mile

·         Families & Walkers—more casual striders, families with strollers, kids under 15, and walkers

·         Just for Fun Half-Mile—this new category, created especially for kids and families will follow the police motorcycle after the last racers.  Open to kids accompanied by an adult guardian, pets and bikes/scooters/strollers.

Piedmont Heights and nearby neighborhoods have experienced a tremendous increase in thefts from vehicles in the past year. A "clean car" is one way to discourage thieves. That does not mean just keeping things in your car out of sight. More importantly, it means do not leave anything of value anywhere in your car.

A number of thefts from vehicles in this area have included money and guns left in glove compartments or consoles. Because thieves have found those valuables in cars which did not have anything of value visible, thieves are sometimes breaking into even those cars which do not have anything visible in the hopes they'll find money or guns or jewelry in closed compartments. Best advice, leave those things locked up at home or office, not in a relatively unsecure automobile.

ATLANTA (March 12, 2018) – The Trust Company of Georgia Northeast Freeway Branch, colloquially known by many as the “round bank,” has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The property is located at 2160 Monroe Drive NE in Atlanta. The property owners, Broward Pie Bar, LLC, sponsored the nomination.

Constructed in 1962, the Trust Company of Georgia Northeast Freeway Branch is an iconic representative of Modernism in Atlanta. According to the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the property, it is significant for its association with commercial banking trends and mid-20th century commercial development in Atlanta, and as an excellent intact example of the New Formalism style of architecture. Designed by celebrated Atlanta architect Henri Jova, who was then Chief of Design for the Atlanta architectural firm of Abreu & Robeson, the building is representative of the banking industry’s evolution to embrace Modern architecture during the mid-20th century as one means of building a progressive corporate image.The building operated as a bank until 2000, when it was vacated. The building was subsequently named one of Atlanta’s most endangered historic resources by the Atlanta Preservation Center in 2003. In 2005, the building was rehabilitated into Piebar, a pizza restaurant. Today, the building houses Cirque Daiquiri Bar and Grill.

The National Register of Historic Places is our country's official list of historic buildings, structures, sites, objects, and districts worthy of preservation

Update on the Beltline Eastside Trail coming soon.

Join the Atlanta Beltline on Thursday, February 15 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm at Rock Spring Presbyterian Church at 1824 Piedmont Ave NE. to hear them discuss progress on design and construction on the Northeast Trail between Ansley Mall and Mayson Street NE.
