As a kid

growing up, I saw it happen on Long Island in the 1950s

and it is going to happen here because

"you-all" are letting it happen.

I prefer Dixie Lily grits. You can keep four extra months

of summer. (Also, I would be very suspicious of

"Developmental Authority," so enthusiastically

endorsed by the "500 plus members of the Fayette

County Board of Realtors".) You-all know about

rabbits and the carrot patch.

Peachtree

City is already passing beyond redemption. The

demographics shown to me four years ago indicated a

"build-out of less than 25,000. In today's paper I

see a total of 38,000 may have reached already, with talk

of annexing more land. The traffic is abominable at rush

hour now and will just get worse.

It's a

great place to raise kids, and play golf. It's not a

great place to be black or Mexican and drive an older

car; that seems to be one of the profiles for being

stopped by the police.

It is a

great place to be outdoorsy. It is not a great place to

grocery shop for good prices, unless you pretend to be

"upscale" and have to ignore what you pay for

things.

Fayette

County seems to have the best educational facilities for

kids in this area. In short, put up with the traffic, the

rubber-stamp chain restaurants, and the high prices, and

you'll live safely within the moat of supposed

superiority.

Fayetteville

is on the cusp now. I don't think many people realize how

slippery, indeed, is the slope you are teetering on. You

have only to look at how the greenery is being ripped

away on Ga. Highway 314, to be replaced by asphalt and

stores.

I saw a

letter asking why that land was being raped while just

across the street lies a half-empty abandoned commercial

area. I agree with the writer. This should not be

happening.

The wolf is

at your door and you are going to be stuffed into his

barbeque pit, so he can make more money. Smile while he

bastes you-all....
