In our Something You Should Know About Metro Atlanta segment, we're featuring Ponce City Market. And go ahead and get spooky with your community. We've got some tips. On exactly how to do that. My name is Cleve Gaddis. You're listening to Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio. When I grew up, right here in Metro Atlanta, born June 16th in 1968, right here in Metro Atlanta.
My mother was a homemaker for first few years of my life. She later became a teacher and then a full time real estate agent, which is where the sort of the legacy of the Gaddis partners or the Go Gaddis Real estate comes from. She started in 1987. My father was a CPA, was a CPA for gosh, almost 40 years.
And to say that my parents valued knowledge would be an understatement. Um, the way I earned their respect, the way I earned, uh, them being proud of me was to, uh, get serious and to learn the things that I needed to learn in school first and then in college and in work and being a parent and all of that kind of stuff, just pretty much the same as it would be for you.
But I basically turned that obsession for details and for knowledge because I learned early in life that if you know a little bit more than the people you're dealing with, then in general things work out better for you than they work out for the people you're dealing with. I'm not saying. Under any circumstances, do I want to win while other people lose?
That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that sort of I've taken this obsession that I learned as a child and I've turned it into a real estate career. If you listen to the show, we want to help you. Become a real estate expert from a novice. We don't want there to be anything that you learn at closing or after that you should have learned before when you're making life's biggest investments, which would be the sale and are the, and, or the purchase of real estate.

My daughter just moved to a home in Morningside, which is just not too far from Ponce City Market. And the retail dining and recreational residential complex we know as Ponce City Market opened in 2014 in the old Sears and Roebuck.
And company building in Atlanta's old fourth ward. The building date back dates back to 1926. Sears used it as both a retail store and a regional headquarters bringing in thousands of jobs before moving out. In 1979, the building was home to City Hall East in the 1990s before it was purchased by developer Jamestown connected to both the old fourth ward and the Atlanta Belt line.
This building encompassing more than 2 million square feet. It was renovated, bringing a big name retailers and food hall outposts by nationally renowned chefs and office and apartment spaces. The Ponce City Market takes its name from Ponce de Leon Springs, a popular day trip destination for suburbanites in the 1860s.
A local doctor named the springs after Ponce de Leon, you like how I say that, Ponce de Leon, to create the association between these springs and the explorer's quest for the fountain of youth. Ponce de Leon Avenue, which runs alongside the building, was named for the springs and the man, but no, the man never came to Atlanta.
There are so many neat things about Ponce. You've got Spiller Park, a four, it's a, uh, four acre lake, which was filled in. In 1907, to create Ponce de Leon Ballpark, commonly known as the Ponce and Spiller Park, you've got a farmer's market. Sears held a farmer's market on the property from 1930 to 1947, showcasing items grown by the store's most loyal customers.
You have got tons and tons of reasons to visit. Ponce City Market. If you want more information, just go to Google, type in Ponce City Market and go down and check out what is going on. Halloween is Tuesday the 31st. We want you to stay safe and certainly watch for the kiddos. We have some ideas on how to get spooky with your community.
I want to share some of those with you here. So I don't know if you've got trick or treaters in your house. I don't have any trick or treaters in my house anymore. Um, but, uh, I still plan to dress up for Halloween. Connecting and participating in your community is a key factor for the successful marketing and business when working in real estate.
Being a realtor is akin to running a small local business. You have to be part of the community to keep the business going. And so... You should participate in trick or treating many areas where the downtown will run a trick or treat street event in their shopping district You should sponsor schools or community group parties.
These are recommendations for realtors here You should host your own community event, which might be a great thing for you to do to get involved in the holidays for 20 30 years, I never remember wearing a Halloween costume. Now, for the last three years, I've worn a Halloween costume every year. And I have absolutely loved getting to do that.
