Lofty Living in Buckhead
01.01.70
Living is everywhere in thisĀ area. I mean lofty in its airy or elevatedĀ sense, more than its fulsome one (not to suggest that the latter is in short supply, mind you).
A wide set of brick stairs stretches between the curb outside 2 W. Wesley Road and this townhome's second-floor front door. Below the front door is a two-car garage. Just inside is a parlor with twin windows, each of which is topped with a semicircular fan of glass for maximum light. The home's main hallway runs alongside the parlor, past the staircase, and into a roomy kitchen with storage space atop its cabinets. The hallway also gives access to an elevator.
No. 2 has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. It also has a courtyard with raised flowerbeds. Perhaps its loftiest feature is a room atop the townhome where a skylight and a tiny, round window help illuminate what could be someone's aerie office or exercise area.
The loftiness at 118 Terrace Drive is most evident out back, where a second-story deck wraps around part of the house. A section of the deck has partial cover from a pergola.

), THE RING's lightweight champ.
Pacquiauo allowed for a smile during the staredowns with his past three rivals before scoring relatively easy unanimous decision victories over Joshua Clottey, Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito.
But none of them has been as difficult an opponent as Marquez, whom Pacquiao has battled twice already to a draw and a split-decision victory in 2004 and 2008.
"I really need to have my best performance in this fight," said Pacquiao, who was lustily booed by Marquez fans, even as they may have been out-numbered by Pacquiao's followers perhaps by 60 percent to 40 percent.
"I do not want to disappoint the fans. We've trained hard and we're ready for this fight. I'm just going to rest and get ready for the fight."
Pacquiao dropped Marquez three times in the first round of their initial meeting, but Marquez survived and pushed the fight to the draw. In their second fight, Pacquiao won a split decision by virtue of a knockdown scored in the third round.
