Free Koi fishThe county is purchasing a property on River Road in South DeKalb for the library system. The homeowner has several hundred koi fish in a trough in her back yard and she does not want to move them all. They range in size from 6 inches up to almost 30 inches and many have the large fins and coloration of prize koi. They are used to being fed so they would do very well in a backyard pond. You don’t need to take them all but can take a few if you have a pond. Please call Louise Buchanan at (770) 922-9392 if you are interested.

These were paid for with MANA funds and required over a year of efforts to secure county permits, etc. The idea is to build community. In addition, they announce in their latest newsletter that they were able to add street lights and replace bulbs in the neighborhood. They tell us that street light repair needs can be reported through Georgia Power Customer Service: https://customerservice.southerncompany.com/Outage/Streetlight.aspx
