A run for charity will shut down parts of Crabapple Road and Canton Street.
Expect some traffic delays along Canton Street and Crabapple Road in Roswell on Saturday morning from 7 a.m.-9:30 a.m. as the Historic Roswell 10 Miler and 5K, benefiting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta races through. Canton Street to State Route 92 will be affected for the whole run since the 5k and the end of the 10 miler happen along that stretch of road. However, the course has been structured so that residents can get out of neighborhoods - either through alternate routes or during breaks in runners. Certain streets should be avoided until the times they reopen, listed below: For further information and to see the race’s route map on the city's Cone Zone webpage.

Maria Walden-Sullivan has built a life around giving to charity. Her Roswell consignment shop, Vintage & Vogue, supports Atlanta non-profits and she has plans to expand.
Maria Walden-Sullivan was on vacation in New Mexico two summers ago when it hit her; she knew how she could raise money for charity, even in a dismal economy: consignment. Two weeks later, she was driving through the Roswell Square and saw a store for rent. It was serendipity. She took it. With no retail background, but plenty of experience in charitable fundraising, she opened Vintage & Vogue, an upscale consignment shop, with the goal of donating proceeds to Atlanta-area charities. “I had always been on so many boards and I’d always been asking people for money. I’ve always shopped in consignment stores and I thought what better way to ask people [to give] than to reach into their closets instead of their pockets,” she told Roswell Patch…

F&H Food Trading Group will present its latest concept in historic Roswell dining using the space that used to be INC Autentico.
Canton Street may have lost a fairly popular restaurant recently, but owners Hicham Azhari and Fikret Kovac are hoping the new dining concept they plan to replace INC Autentico with will be even more popular. Azhari and Kovac's F&H Food Trading Group is set to open OPULENT - its fourth Canton Street endeavor - during early April. And once again, the group's culinary director Bob McDonough will helm the "global-inspired" kitchen, with the help of Executive Chef Andrew Long. "It’s the right time for us to bring OPULENT to Canton Street and we’re excited to introduce Atlantans to this concept," said Azhari, in a written statement.

If luxury apartments are approved, current residents will have to move; but where?
(Editor's Note: This article has been updated to reflect the correct working title for the proposed complex, which is "Canton Street City Walk.") As the city looks to capitalize on the energy surrounding its historic district, a proposal to build luxury apartments on Frazier Street has some questioning where current tenants and others will find affordable housing in Roswell. Affordability aside, the aging Frazier Street Apartments have been a visible issue locally for quite some time. "This is one of the areas that has been identified for years as needing redevelopment," said Councilwoman Nancy Diamond. "It came close just before the economic downturn and then was put on hold." So the Frazier Street Apartments have stayed. Even with little…

Several meetings regarding the area are on the city's calendar.
If you have a specific view on the future of Frazier Street Apartments, you'll soon get your chance to share it when the city convenes several meetings regarding the property's future and proposed plans for luxury apartments. According to Roswell Planning & Zoning Director Brad Townsend, the proposed development would be for 320 "shacked flats" in a complex that could be three to four stories tall, if allowed via the Groveway Overlay conditional approval of the Roswell City Council.
