Pete Chevallier stands in
front of the Mount Paran
Country Store, located
at the intersection of
Northside Drive and
Mount Paran Road in
Buckhead. Chevallier,
who owns the store with
his wife, Jan, says they
love interacting with their
customers, who come in
for gas, food and supplies.
A customer on her way out of the
store yelled into the kitchen. “Hey La-
vern!” The woman working the grill an
swered, “Hey sweetie. How’s your mama
feelin’ these days?” Pete was back work
ing in the kitchen too, as he introduced
Lavern Moses. “She’s our secret weapon.
It’s her cooking and her chili that keeps
them all coming back,” he said. Lavern
shared her secret. “The only way to cook
is to season - not too much, but you got
ta put taste on it,” she said.
There’s no doubt that the country
store has a flavor all its own. “We just
love interacting with all the people,”
Pete said.
And Jan is just as happy. “This is our
dream come true,” she said. “It’s our re
tirement plan to run a mom and pop
store.”
Buckhead Atlanta project
moving forward
DIN WHISENHUNT

The developer of Buckhead Atlanta
says it is picking up the pace of work on
the mixed-use project.
San Diego-based developer OliverM-
cMillan said in an email that crews are
“ramping up work on Parcel A” of the
project. Crews began work on the larg
est parcel of the project, Parcel C, in Au
gust, the company said.
“This next phase of construction is
in keeping with our construction sched
ule,” OliverMcMillan’s Managing Di
rector of Development, Hunter Rich
ardson, said in the email. “It is another
milestone in our progress toward creat
ing a district that we will all enjoy and
be proud of.”
The project’s anticipated open date is
currently late 2013. When it’s finished,
it will be 1.5 million square feet, taking
up six city blocks. There will be 300,000
square feet of high-end retail and din
ing. There will be more than 100,000
square feet of office space and 370 “lux
ury high-rise residences,” according to
OliverMcMillan’s statement.
Before OliverMcMillan took over the
project and named it Buckhead Atlanta,
the project was called Streets of Buck-
head. The worksite sat dormant after the
recession hit, an unofficial monument to
the economic crisis.
OliverMcMillan caused a stir when
it took over the project. Residents and
public officials applauded when the
cranes started moving last August. Lux
ury retailer Hermes will anchor the de
velopment on Bolling Way, the compa
ny said.
People will soon have their first real-
life glimpse of what the finished prod
uct will look like, according to the state
ment from the company.
“With preconstruction work com
pleted, the structure will start to become
visible above the construction fencing
along Peachtree and Pharr roads,” the
statement reads.
