In January through March of 2004, Sweet Auburn was studied as a part of the ‘Eastside / Auburn Avenue’ Focus Area, one of five such areas included in the “Imagine Downtown” planning and visioning process. An Eastside / Auburn Core Team of institutions, businesses, property owners and residents in the area was convened to review existing conditions, define issues for discussion, review plan products and prioritize implementation steps. In addition, one-on-one interviews were held with many of the stakeholders in the corridor and over 60 people participated in the Community Workshop held on December 9, 2003. Focus Area Context The Eastside/ Auburn Avenue Focus Area is located just east of Atlanta’s Central Business District. The Auburn corridor is approximately one mile long, anchored by a high-density commercial area around Peachtree Street on the west and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site (NHS) on the east. John Wesley Dobbs Avenue and Edgewood Avenue form the northern and southern boundaries of the Focus Area, which is about six blocks at its widest point where in jogs along Gilmore Street to include a part of Grady Hospital.

  • Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, C.1000-1300
    1 PAPAL OVERLORDSHIP AND PROTECTIO OF THE KING, c.1000-1300 Benedict Wiedemann UCL Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 2017 2 I, Benedict Wiedemann, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Papal Overlordship and Protectio of the King, c.1000-1300 Abstract This thesis focuses on papal overlordship of monarchs in the middle ages. It examines the nature of alliances between popes and kings which have traditionally been called ‘feudal’ or – more recently – ‘protective’. Previous scholarship has assumed that there was a distinction between kingdoms under papal protection and kingdoms under papal overlordship. I argue that protection and feudal overlordship were distinct categories only from the later twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Before then, papal-royal alliances tended to be ad hoc and did not take on more general forms. At the beginning of the thirteenth century kingdoms started to be called ‘fiefs’ of the papacy. This new type of relationship came from England, when King John surrendered his kingdoms to the papacy in 1213. From then on this ‘feudal’ relationship was applied to the pope’s relationship with the king of Sicily. This new – more codified – feudal relationship seems to have been introduced to the papacy by the English royal court rather than by another source such as learned Italian jurists, as might have been expected. A common assumption about how papal overlordship worked is that it came about because of the active attempts of an over-mighty papacy to advance its power for its own sake.

    THE Inman Park Advocator Atlanta’s Small Town Downtown News • Newsletter of Inman Park Neighborhood Association January 2021 [email protected] • inmanpark.org • 245 North Highland Avenue NE • Suite 230-401 • Atlanta 30307 Volume 49 • Issue 1 President’s Message Progress on the Atlanta Tree Ordinance By Amy Higgins • [email protected] As you know, Inman Park is prized for its tree cover. For over 20 years our neighborhood Tree Watch group has partnered with Trees Atlanta to protect, preserve and plant new trees across the neighborhood. We also value the diversity of our housing stock which includes studio apartments, classic shotgun houses, townhomes, Victorian mansions and everything in between. While many intown neighborhoods are comprised almost exclusively of low-density single family residential zoning, we have commercial, industrial, residential-light commercial, duplex, and mixed-use zones all within our boundaries. This diversity of housing stock and density gives us the opportunity to offer housing to folks from a range of ages and income levels. Frequently though, our commitments to both housing diversity and tree conservation conflict. The Atlanta Tree Ordinance was created to guide development in a way that is mindful of trees while still recognizing the needs of Atlanta’s growing population. Of course, like many first editions, it has (arguably) fallen short of its goals it is in need of review and revision. Atlanta began careful consideration of a revised ordinance a couple of years ago and is expected to release a final draft of the new ordinance this spring. When this happens, I will invite our friends from Trees Atlanta to visit an IPNA meeting and bring us up to date.

    FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH The French Connection Volume One by Patrick Delaforce FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH: The French Connection by Patrick Delaforce This is a book designed and produced to interest and encourage readers to delve back into the centuries in search of their ancestry. Interest in Family History research has grown considerably and is now widespread. A hundred regional Family History Societies cover the U.K. with a total membership of over 50,000 families. Another hundred societies are to be found in America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, with over 1,000,000 families as members. The romantic story of the Delaforces over the last five hundred years has been carefully researched. Step by step the reader is shown how the research was accomplished using dozens of different sources. Genealogy is the construction of a family tree, but Family History research puts flesh on the bare bones. Delaforces were diplomats and fishmongers, Kingsʼ men and silk weavers, Secret Agents and wine shippers, French Huguenots and pawnbrokers. A very detailed chapter lists 500 cross-indexed Sources in the U.K. for the reader and would-be Family Historian. Other chapters bring to life the discovery of American, Australian and Canadian families with appropriate local sources of family history research for readers interested in locating possible relatives in those countries. Twelve pages of old prints, certificates, wills and photographs illustrate the by-gone centuries. The book jacket cover depicts the dramatic landing of the French Huguenot refugees
