A Blog About Decatur

Decatur is a 4.2 square mile city located in metro Atlanta with a population of about 18K. The blog inDECATUR states that this city is in great demand as a place to live.

Kell praises his blog to be one of the best, describing it as the oldest active blog and most prolific blog(averaging 6.9 posts/day). He advertises it in multiple ways on his page in writing in his posts like the one of the Editor’s choice Regator or a picture of an article written about this blog and even in the magazine cover Best of Atlanta. InDECATUR also has its own Twitter and Facebook pages. The inDECATUR blog describes news and current events that all relate to metro Atlanta area, specifically Decatur. There are blogs written about the Decatur High School Band Yard Sale, Piece of Cake Open House, and live entertainment at Parker’s on Ponce to an article about off-duty police officers saving a 13-year old from rape. Dave Kell clearly states that this small community of Decatur is a wonderful neighborhood to live in because of its multiple community involvements, great entertainment and the safety of its citizens. The headline of the blog gives it all away, “It's great to be "in Decatur" Georgia.” Dave Kell not only writes about how great of a place Decatur is to live, but also provided links to a map of the city, list of restaurants, housing listings, and even a list of churches in the community.
