While residents are still mourning the loss of the Big Apple Inn at the corner of Ralph David Abernathy Blvd and East Ontario Ave there is now reason to rejoice. Signs recently popped up in the windows of the former Big Apple Inn spot advertising the soon-to-be opening of a new eatery – Night Train’s Wings and Things.

What are Cash Mobs?
“Cash Mobs” are events in which we call on all neighbors to patronize a specific business on specific days and times. This shows the business owner the potential of increased business if they agree to adhere to some basic standards.
We all love our neighborhoods but how often do we find ourselves feeling like there are far too few high-quality restaurants and grocery stores nearby? In an effort to support local businesses and attract new food and restaurant businesses, neighborhood leaders of Adair Park, Capitol View, Capitol View Manor, Oakland City, Pittsburgh, Sylvan Hills, West End, and Westview are working together to encourage economic development in the area. As part of the Cash Mobs we are asking local food businesses to commit to:
1) Creating a respectful & welcoming environment for all patrons;
2) Maintaining a clean establishment;
3) Providing a safe environment (including shopping, dining, parking areas, sidewalks, etc.);
4) Providing healthy food options; and
5) Providing fresh food options.
If the establishments agree to these standards, we will ask our neighbors to go out of their way to support them.
Publicity
While patronizing the business neighbors are encouraged to:
1) Use hash tags #iswatlcashmob and #intownsouthwestatl
2) Take photos while at the location or with their delivery
3) Post receipts of how much they spent
