At the outset I would like to be clear about my statements in the AJC or AUC as you have affectionately termed. No it is not my belief that residents of Castleberry are racist or even close to that, I do however believe that the concentrated presence of restaurants and bars with high African American patronage is slightly unsettling to some of the neighbors whom may have envisioned a slightly different commercial landscape in the community. I hope over time the present feelings of uneasiness subside, as the businesses and residents sincerely work towards creating a safer and more controlled neighborhood experience. </p><p>I am pleased to know that the food were enjoyable, I am working doggedly to improve the level of service. Your criticisms are valid, I hope to make the corrections that will ensure a much better customer experience.

I don't know what happened to the restaurants, but none have closed down, so I'm guessing they paid some fines and went on their way. The traffic is not so much out of control, it's more of a problem of people double parking, blocking lanes, and generally just being douche bags. A little enforcement from the police department would go a long way. As for noise, it does get a bit loud, but it is a commercial district! I personally don't hear it as I was lucky enough to be too poor to afford a place on Peters Street and was relegated to the edge of the neighborhood.

Do you know what happened to the two restaurants that were accused of illegally operating as nightclubs? Since you live in the neighborhood, do you agree that the traffic and noise is out of control at night on Peters Street? I don't know exactly where you live in the neighborhood but out of pure curiosity, can you personally hear the noise of the increased traffic that the article references?
