A power

outage Thursday morning shut down a number of commercial

establishments for about two hours on one corner of Ga.

Highway 54 and Peachtree Parkway in Peachtree City.

The problem

began at about 10 a.m., according to one merchant. The

traffic light at the intersection was also out of order,

and a Peachtree City police officer directed traffic

during the outage.

Among the

businesses affected were First Union Bank and First

Citizens Bank, as well as Chick-Fil-A and McDonald's

restaurants. First Citizens handled drive-through traffic

only, while the other three establishments were closed.

All stores

in the Peachtree Pointe retail building were affected,

although the Peachtree Crossing shopping center next door

was not.

Other

locations at that intersection, such as Christ our

Shepherd Lutheran Church and Ruby Tuesday, experienced

little or no interruption.

Power was

restored around noon.
