Enough dog food was stolen from the Chosewood Park warehouse to stock the store for three months.
It may take a bloodhound to solve this dirty dog of a crime. Atlanta police are investigating an overnight burglary of a warehouse that Grant Park's Intown Healthy Hound used to store its dog food inventory. The break-in at the warehouse in Chosewood Park, occurred sometime after 6 p.m. on Nov. 28, when it closed for the night. The theft was discovered Thursday morning.

"I can't imagine there's a lot of street value with my brand," Intown's owner, Bridget Galloway, told East Atlanta Patch Thursday.

Neighborhood meeting set for Sept. 10.
The Chosewood Park mural that sparked a row in the neighborhood over its nude imagery, is not getting repainted after all. At least, not yet. 11Alive News reported the mural, painted by Argentinean artist Hyuro, will stay, pending the outcome of a Sept. 10 meeting of neighborhood residents. The mural, which was painted as part of the Living Walls Conference, was to have been repainted this weekend, after the owner of the former General Motors Lakewood Plant decided the attention and controversy was too much. But a meeting is planned for Sept. 10 see if a compromise can be reached. This year's Living Walls Conference featured women artists from around the world who painted murals all over the city including East Atlanta and Reynoldstown.
