Thanks for joining us last night at the new El Valle Kitchen & Bar for our networking event!
We hope you had fun and made new connections while learning more about Midtown Alliance's work. Special thanks to Harry Norman REALTORS – The Intown Office for their help with the event, and our sponsor and host, El Valle.
Here's a quick rundown of what we shared at the event, a small homework assignment for you and a look ahead to what's next:
What did you think? Take our 3-min. event survey.
Let us know what you thought of the event. Complete this short survey. We'll take your feedback and use it to improve our member events and community programming. One lucky respondent will receive a $25 Midtown ATL Gift Card, accepted at 50+ locations throughout the district.
Thank you for helping us support organizations that are doing important work in the City. Attendees raised more than $2,300 for Midtown Assistance Center last night through event ticket sales and onsite donations!
MAC is a non-profit whose mission is to prevent homelessness and hunger by providing emergency assistance to low-income working Atlantans during periods of crisis.

Thanks for helping us rethink Midtown's bus stops!
We appreciate everyone's participation in our activity to help us explore opportunities to recreate Midtown bus stops. Our bus stop enhancement study, "That's My Stop," is currently at the beginning of a 10-month planning process that will result in a community-driven pilot project. In addition to serving transit riders, bus stop enhancements would add to projects that have been planned for West Peachtree and Spring Street, including protected bike lanes and parklets.
We are currently seeking input from the community about how the bus stops within the study area can be enhanced to better serve commuters, residents and visitors. Sign up to join our stakeholder focus group here.
