Senoia preparing for historic photo

Senoia's

big day in the sun is today, but city officials are

hoping the millennium photo shoot doesn't cause too many

problems.

Nobody is

quite sure how many people will gather in downtown Senoia

at 1 p.m. tomorrow for the photo shoot organized by Gary

Gruby.

That's one

of the main problems that has city officials a little

apprehensive. During Tuesday night's City Council

meeting, Police Chief Ben Thomas expressed concern over

the event.

"There

was no planning regarding the city on this event. We have

to be included," he said.

Mayor Joan

Trammell said she met with Gruby last week to talk about

items such as parking, clean-up and street closings, but

he said he didn't need the city's help.

"He

said there's going to be a lot of Boy Scout volunteers.

He did not want designated parking," she said.

But in the

future, Trammell hopes to create a plan for events that

will use the city streets. Thomas also wants to make sure

enough streets are clear in case an emergency vehicle has

to get through the crowd.

Gruby's

idea of photographing the entire town on New Year's Day

has drawn national media coverage and city officials are

hoping it goes off without a hitch.

Gruby has

asked for people who wish be in the picture to start

gathering at the bottom of Main Street near the railroad

tracks at noon to start placing the people and animals

who will give future generations a glimpse of what Senoia

looked like Jan. 1, 2000.
