Highland Avenue

Highland Avenue
Highland Ave.

Vahi - A short name for Virginia Highland. Sometimes called Virginia-highlands, there actually is no 's' on the end. It is named for Virginia Avenue and North Highland Ave, that is Highland Avenue north of Ponce De Leon. Vahi is an appellation similar to SoHo in New York, that means South of Houston. Simply quicker to say, but just not as catchy to say, still VaHi is easier to type than Virginia - Highland.

The VaHi area hosts many bars and restaurants, on the residential side while there are a large number of very nice single family homes, there are some apartment blocks and many subdivided apartment homes.

The average age and marital status in the area is mixed but contains a large number of younger and less attached humans. Single family homes being more the target of Mark the Mover and our uncompromising approach to quality and service, families living, relocating and remodeling in the VaHi neighborhood have used Mark the Mover Moving Co. Moving and Storage services and our moving crews for more than 30 years.

Ansley Park, Easton

Easton Georgia was the name of a small community that now is the Morningside Lennox Community. Also not far from Ansley Mall, Easton was a farming community and the creeks in the Morningside area were used by farmers for power for their mills. In the days before electricity, the water travelling downstream was gathered in a flue that turned a waterwheel that powered a mill. Mills were used to saw wood, grind grain and for cotton gins. Easton Georgia become a stop on the railroad line running from Toccoa to Atlanta in 1876, in those days Plaster Bridge Road, later renamed Piedmont was unpaved.



The population of Easton Georgia was less than one hundred people until around 1890. The earliest development around the area was in the Ansley Park and Virginia Highland communities. Virginia Highland is thought to be one of Atlanta's earliest commuter suburbs, trolleys ran from Atlanta to the suburban area east of Boulevard. James R. Smith and M.S. Rankin build eight homes in Morningside Park in 1923, they advertised their new suburban development that also allowed streetcar commuting as a new type of suburb.

Household relocation in the Morningside community has been a staple of business at Mark the Mover Atlanta movers where we have build a solid three decade reputation for doing a good job. Mark the Mover has gotten a sort of following because we refuse to engage in the quality cutting that some competitors follow to offer prices in line with illegal and under-insured moving companies. We are a full service moving and storage company dedicated to providing the best quality moving at a middle of the pack price.

Our loyal customer base appreciates getting a consistent product year after year. Our customers wouldn't want it any other way. We have seen our Morningside moving customers change their moving schedule to relocate on the day our moving crew is available. That might sound crazy, but it is true.

That is not to say that there are not other moving companies that do a good job for Morningside movers, there are. If we cannot move you on the day you need to relocate, we kind of know what some other movers are doing, and we can try to recommend a couple of alternatives. But if you call early you can make sure to have Mark the Mover. If you can't finalize your schedule early enough, we understand and will try to help.
