educe. Reuse. Refill? A new retailer coming to the 999 Peachtree building is all about helping customers find ways to be more “green” -- for example, re-filling and re-using laundry detergent bottles.

'RE' is owned and operated

by Metro Atlanta native Gene Cox and his wife Xiorelis (pronounced (C-or-ell-is), who have both earned the professional credential LEED Green Associate administered by the United States Green Building Council. They've established partnerships with some of Atlanta’s most sustainability-minded professionals, including award-winning kitchen designer Tim Odom and local organic product expert Carol Held (EcoEmporium).

Natural RE-Sources will offer products and services to peak the interest of everyone from the merely eco-curious to the most planet-friendly families in Midtown. At 'RE', you'll find everything from Georgiamade recycled glass counter tops featured on HGTV to tiles made from palm trees and purses crafted out of recycled seat belts.

Look for 'RE' coming soon to 999 Peachtree, at the corner of Peachtree and Peachtree Place.

Revolution 11 is so much more than a place to buy vintage. Revolution 11 Vintage Market & Studio is a clutch for your style and a playground for your spirit. Nothing is off limits, including private parties, trunk shows, staging and costuming.

fter a successful popup Vintage Market this past September, Revolution 11 owners Nova Hudson and Hillary Quinlan in partnership with costume designer Lionel Lymon have just cut the ribbon on their much-anticipated new store at Metropolis - 921 Peachtree St.

Look for eclectic events and partnerships as Revolution 11 owners explore things that they are passionate about.

Their latest muse is fine artist and philanthropist Victoria Moore, whose paintings invite you to look beyond our reflections, to value authenticity and put history into context.

Of the new shop and their wildly successful pop-up event, Hudson says, "We felt like we were in some kind of wonderland! We had friends, neighbors -- even tourists cheering us on! There’s something incredibly special happening on Peachtree Street, and we’re feeling pretty fortunate to be a part of it."

Street Food Man about town George Krauth dishes on the fashions, flavors, designs and décor he discovers as he travels the globe tracking trends in his capacity as Creative Manager for Jamestown Properties. This quarter, George explores Street Food.

Jamestown Properties is investing in street food related events in places like Mixson in Charleston, SC (mixson. com) and Warehouse Row in Chattanooga, TN (warehouserow. net). In fact, our friends at Midtown Alliance are going strong with a highly successful "Street Food Thursdays" event in Midtown Atlanta.

hy is it that when Americans think of street food, we picture corndogs and funnel cakes?

Street food, especially as it’s being done today, is nothing like those stomachaches-on-a-stick found at carnivals of yesteryear.

From farm-to-truck fare from Grace’s Goodness in Georgia to sizzling Mama’s Empanadas in San Francisco, today’s street food is all about the freshest locally sourced ingredients cooked right in front of you.

Look for food trucks and pop-up chef events at future Jamestown developments like Atlanta's up-and-coming Ponce City Market. (poncecitymarket. com)

In addition to being delicious and affordable, street food also helps build community. That’s why

Beyond Hugh Acheson & Ryan Smith's super local, healthy and delicious menu, they serve the best coffee in Atlanta, have the coolest staff, and the energy in the restaurant feels great. Also, they have a bocce court.

A: 1. Picasso to Warhol at the High -- it's going to knock your artsy socks off. 2. Wogging (my term for half-walk, half-jog) in Piedmont Park. Enter the park at Charles Allen drive right after sunrise, walk across the lawn to the pond and you'll be treated to the most spectacular views of the park and the skyline.

Q: What are your favorite places to shop in Midtown?
