Atlanta home owners have a new place to outfit their condos and lofts with the opening of CB2 in mid-August. The furniture and home decor store opened in the bottom of 1010 Midtown’s residential tower and is impressing shopper after shopper. Catering to Gen Y buyers, CB2 fills its space with trendy items as well as pieces with clean, classic lines. “One of a Find” items are selected by the store, with the home accents available only in limited numbers.
The opening of CB2 puts Midtown in the same company as Miami’s South Beach, New York’s SoHo District and West Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard. With only eight stores in the country, it’s an honor for the Midtown Mile to be selected as the prime location for CB2. An honor, but not a surprise.
As residents of 1010 Midtown will tell you, the Midtown Mile is an amazing place to live. With an eclectic mix of restaurants and nightlife, residents have no trouble satiating cravings for any cuisine or finding a luxe spot for happy hour. Piedmont Park is just steps away from the tower and many of Atlanta’s treasured cultural venues are nearby as well. And now, with the opening of CB2, residents don’t have to go far to find the latest accent or perfect stemware for a dinner party.

CB2, located in 1010 Midtown across the street from the newly opened Loews hotel and the soon to be open STK, will open its doors to Atlanta on Friday, August 13, 2010. Only the eighth CB2 store in the nation, Atlanta’s version will make Life on the Curve more interesting than ever.
As the first national tenant on the 14-block Midtown Mile, CB2 (an offshoot of Crate and Barrel) will enhance the 24-7 lifestyle created by the arts and entertainment surrounding 1010 Midtown. It’s just the kind of atmosphere CB2 seeks when building a new location, placing the Midtown Mile in the ranks of New York’s SoHo district, Miami’s South Beach, Chicago’s Lincoln Park and West Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard where other CB2 stores are located.
Aimed at Gen Y buyers who often live in urban lofts or apartments and prefer the most up-to-date furnishings and accessories, CB2 sells “affordable modern.”

When the air begins to crisp in late September, a new arts festival will descend on midtown. The inaugural Midtown Festival of the Arts will be a weekend of Atlanta food and culture.
“Every day, Midtowners roll out the red carpet for visitors to Woodruff Arts Center, High Museum, the Fox Theater and the many wonderful festivals in Piedmont Park,” Leslie Johnson, president of Midtown Festival of the Arts said. “In the past couple of years, developments like 12th and Midtown have added shops, restaurants, visitors and residents to the Midtown Mile, and the new streetscaping ties it all together along Peachtree Street. This festival is organized by Midtowners and all proceeds will fund even more improvements in midtown.”
The festival will highlight visual, performing, culinary and literary artists up and down the Midtown Mile, which stretches from 5th to 10th streets on Peachtree. An artists market will let patrons purchase beautiful and unique pieces from local artists to enjoy at home. Performances will take place on the Main Stage as well as other venues across the festival and showcase dancers, comedians, singers, bands, poets and a wide range of other performances. Fifth Group Restaurants will select restaurants and food vendors to demonstrate their culinary crafts that will please any epicurean. A children’s area at the Margaret Mitchell house will provide performances specifically for children, as well as hands-on crafts and activities.
The festival will feature other exciting activities as well, such as a traditional beer garden, Midtown Mile Road Race, art auction and film presentations.

Earlier this month, the Loews Atlanta hotel was inspected to see if it qualified for the prestigious AAA Four Diamond award. The inspector was given a hotel tour and returned over a weekend for a “secret shop” of the property. Needless to say, Loews Atlanta Hotel passed the inspection and is now a AAA Four Diamond hotel, an honor that has been awarded to less than 4 percent of over 31,000 properties AAA has reviewed. The inspector had high compliments for Loews Atlanta Hotel’s facilities and service.

Piedmont Park has long been Atlanta’s favorite in-town park for hosting a variety of events and activities from the Dogwood festival to roller blading, an afternoon picnic or walking the family pet.
The park is a historical site and was the site of many large gatherings including the Piedmont Exposition of 1887 and the Cotton States and International Exposition of 1895. The Cotton States and International Exposition was a World’s Fair. Not only did it run for 100 days, but it featured 6,000 exhibits and attracted 800,000 visitors. The legacy of this huge event lives on in many of the park’s facilities today.
From ball fields, to a small lake (now 11.5 acres and named Clara Meer) to the stone balustrades scattered throughout the park which are the remnants of steps leading to a large building built for the Exposition, glimpses of the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition are still present.
