 Many people from Historic West End neighborhood came to the rally organized by Atlantans Together Against Crime (ATAC)  in Booker T. Washington neighborhood to protest against police cutbacks and crime wave in Atlanta.

More than 100 people gathered on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. and Joseph Lowery boulevards in order to protest against raising crime in Atlanta. We are hoping to have SOUTHWEST rally in our neighborhood in a few months.

In 1868, the name of White Hall was changed to more “fashionable” West End (named after London’s theater district). West End used to have three theatres:

1. The West End Theatre located at 595 Lee Street, SW (demolished)

2. Cascade Theatre at 1340 Gordon Street (Ralph David Abernathy), SW (demolished White Park now)

3. Gordon Theatre at 960 Gordon Street (Ralph David Abernathy), SW (Shrine of Black Madonna)

But those theatres were movie theatres not like Fly By Theatre where you can see plays, good plays.

Fly By Theatre is  located at West End Performing Arts Center, 945 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd.

Few weeks ago  Fly-By Theatre and the West End Performing Arts Center hosted West End Neighborhood Development and West End Merchants Coalition .

WEND was celebrating its 31st Anniversary in the West End Performing Arts Center.

Fly-By Theater invited WEND to see the annual new works competition where the audience chooses the winner. Three artistic teams created an original 20 minute play based on this year’s theme: gods, goddesses, prophets. Modern and mythic gods come to life for a brief moment in this dynamic combination of theater and dance.

After seeing the pieces I can tell you that West End is a truly block of culture. This theater is a real treasure in our neighborhood.
