Marvin Nesbitt, senior director of community development with Focused Community Strategies, joins host Carol Morgan on this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast episode, Nesbitt discusses Focused Community Strategies' recent developments in South Atlanta neighborhoods. Focused Community Strategies Mission For 25 years, Focused Community Strategies has worked diligently in South Atlanta to assist under-resourced communities and create the conditions for individuals to thrive at home. Focused Community Strategies utilizes three pillars for every project it takes on. Neighborhood engagement: Some current projects include health and wellness fairs, a food co-op and youth group activities. The organization offers these engaging events in partnership with the local Civic League. Affordable options for mixed-income households: Focused Community Strategies has built and sold over 200 affordable homes since its inception. This approach creates a sense of stability for the South Atlanta residents that the organization supports. Economic development: Focused Community Strategies' reach goes beyond real estate; the organization also finds ways to invest in the neighborhood's economy. Community Grounds, the organization's coffee shop provides a comfortable place for gathering and offers stable job opportunities, while its small market sells nutritious produce with affordable price tags. Nesbitt asked himself, “How do we create opportunities for future and further investment in the neighborhood while addressing the issues of food insecurity and economic mobility through workforce development?” Mixed-Use Development at Brownsville Pointe The organization recently acquired land in Brownsville and plans to transform it into Brownsville Pointe, a small but vibrant mixed-use development. South Atlanta residents can anticipate 18 apartment units, with 12 of those available affordably. When Nesbitt approached residents and neighborhood leadership about their desires for the project, there was a lot of demand for a sit-down restaurant. He says that Brownsville Pointe's commercial space will likely transform into an eatery upon completion of the development. The project is currently in the environmental remediation phase, but Focused Community Strategies plans to break ground this summer. “Brownsville Pointe, if you don't know, was the original name of historic South Atlanta before that name was changed decades ago,” said Nesbitt. “So, it's just our way of honoring the rich history and tradition of the neighborhood.” Challenges of Building in South Atlanta Nesbitt emphasizes that Focused Community Strategies' strong relationship with the Civic League provides much-needed clarity between residents and developers. Communication between both parties has eliminated most of the challenges, but the increasing popularity of the Atlanta Beltline has raised the costs of acquisition. “We have to compete with investors for opportunities and development in the footprint,” said Nesbitt. “All of that is just driving up cost and making opportunities or shrinking opportunities for nonprofit organizations like ours to continue to do the good work and ensure that there are homeownership opportunities.” Investing in Existing Neighborhoods Nesbitt believes in “stayfacation,” the affirmation that legacy homeowners should continue to have a place in the neighborhood and promote its values and traditions. In the spirit of neighborhood revitalization, Focused Community Strategies has partnered with the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta and the City of Atlanta to breathe new life into Thomasville Heights. The organization supports legacy homeowners with anti-displacement services like home preservations and critical repairs since it's a neighborhood of choice for many homeowners. It has also assisted the Atlanta Urban Development Corporation in finding a developer for the old Thomasville Heights site as it...

Sounds like your classic tourist scam, right? Cathy shares with us a twist though in the story, and her memories and feelings about the encounter, from over 35 years later.Fortunately for her, and for us, they continued on into Morocco to visit many familiar sites that were only just starting to show signs of tourism fame. It was a different time to travel, without technology and easy translation, credit cards and bank machines, or the kind of transport and comforts that we are used to now. And yet it was a trip that left many indellible memories, which she shares with us today. Azdean, in turn, talks about how places like Marrakech, Chefchaouen and Casablanca have changed since Cathy visited: in some ways a lot, in others, Morocco remains timeless.Cathy is a yoga teacher who offers free online yoga sessions every Tuesday morning, you can check her out here:http://cathysclub.com/ Do you dream of exploring the enchanting land of Morocco?Destination Morocco is your ultimate travel experience for those seeking luxury and adventure.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Nina Nesbitt over Zoom video!Singer-songwriter and producer and multi-instrumentalist, Nina Nesbitt releases her new album, Mountain Music. From exceeding a billion streams to being championed by Taylor Swift and playing shows with everyone from Coldplay to Stevie Nicks, Nina's career has taken her from highlight to highlight. Yet the release of her new album could well be the most significant moment to date. Not only is it a record that leans into an accomplished and engaging new sound, but it's also the first release via her new independent label Apple Tree Records.Mountain Music is a record in which authenticity flows through every moment. Its impetus was a moment of crisis: Nina had become overwhelmed by the need to be always active on social media and realized it was a huge distraction from her songwriting. So instead, she paused and went back to basics. What emerged was a set of songs which were informed, in part by the two years she spent touring the States in support of her second studio album: the critically acclaimed The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change, and partly by the Americana and US folk music that she has always loved. Their narratives also became more personal than ever. She reflected on everything that has happened in her life: growing up in a small Scottish village, breaking into music while living in the bustle of London, and now looking back at all of her life experiences from her new home in the countryside. While it might sound strange that Nesbitt was drawn to the music of Appalachia, heard echoing through the vast, verdant mountain ranges of the eastern United States, it makes more sense when you consider how traditional Scottish ballads and hymns are threads in that rich tapestry.Speaking about the new album, Nina Nesbitt reveals, “'Mountain Music' feels like the most authentic and honest piece of work I've created so far. I was inspired by a lot of the American folk music I grew up listening to, and revisiting it made me fall back in love with writing music again. I knew I wanted to take inspiration but to also write my own story. This album celebrates that small town girl, puts an arm around the big city twenty-something and looks back at the view with me now from the calm and the quiet. ‘Mountain Music' held my hand through some of my hardest moments and I hope it can hold yours too.”The album's organic, resonant feel also comes from a recording process which placed a sharper focus on the importance of live performances. Accompanied by a band of musicians, Peter Miles and Nina produced sessions at Middle Farm Studios in South Devon in the UK, with Peter completing the record with mixing and mastering. That sound is today further showcased as Nina shares the new Mountain Music Session performance of the album's closing track, “Parachute,” a swaying, romantic ballad that also addresses her introvert tendencies. Accompanied by a five-piece band, Nina leads a song which steadily grows in stature from sparse piano into a dramatic crescendo of sound. She's visibly lost within the moment, channeling her emotions into an affecting song which charts the self-doubt that she had prior to starting the album.Having recently enjoyed a big spotlight moment when she performed at Team Great Britain's Homecoming show live on BBC One to over 2 million viewers, and having just completed a dream tour as special guest to Stevie Nicks earlier this year, Nina plans to hit the road next month for a UK headline tour.For a list of upcoming tour dates, please visit ninanesbittmusic.com.Stay tuned for more music and live dates, coming soon!We want to hear from you!
