Rhodes Bakery, located on the boundary of Atlanta’s Morningside Neighborhood and Cheshire Bridge Road corridor, operated for almost 70 years before closing in late 2021.

The property was purchased by the owner of the neighboring adult business, Tokyo Valentino, with the intention of opening a spa.

However, the local neighborhood associations have expressed their opposition to the project during a city zoning hearing and via an online Change.org petition.
