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.
