The Spindle rose from a passion for cycling from brothers Sharif and Ezz-Eldin Hassan. In late 2012, after many rides and blown out jeans, they feverishly sought out cycling gear made for the everyday rider. They really had to dig, though. In a world filled with kits, clunky shoes, and spandex, finding companies that specialize in the commuter side of the biking world was going to take some effort. Sure, companies like Chrome had already made a name for themselves by offering messenger style … [Read more...]
Shopping on the BeltLine
By now, most folks would agree that shopping small and local is the preferable thing to do. Our goal here at BeltLandia is to help your bucks stay in the loop, locally.

ATL Snow Jam ’14: Another Case For Walkable Intown Living
As I walked to my meeting at Condesa Coffee, I noticed that the accumulating snow was starting to get slippery. Not a big surprise, I thought, as the temperature was dropping fast.

Bike races at the velodrome were bigger than baseball with the Atlanta Crackers, and ladies and gents rode their bicycles out to picnics and parties. Today … [Read more...]
Happy Trails to Trader Joe’s Midtown
Three years ago we were in a pickle. We had started 2009 with the mantra “On the BeltLine in ‘09!” I wanted to relocate to a BeltLine neighborhood and focus my real estate career on what I saw as the evolution of Atlanta. By Thanksgiving we had relocated to the Old Fourth Ward, but my real estate business had virtually flat lined due to the financial aftershocks of 2008. Then we decided that my wife couldn’t continue her employment in a toxic work environment at a southside nursing home. She … [Read more...]
