It's painful to watch Atlanta looking foolish, but I hope this cleans up some of the city circus we Atlantans have to deal with.
I remember Atlanta: Grant park where you could picnic or play unmolested. The Cyclorama, a great depiction of the battle of Atlanta. Tree lined streets. Slow summer days. My grandfather lived there with his third family. What happened? Now I hate to even have to drive through Atlanta on my way to Gulf Shores. There is no real speed limit, and you take your life in your hands on the Interstates, and you have a looooong trip if you try to drive on the city streets. Is there a peach tree anywhere near Peachtree Street?
I think for years that locals have been telling the Atlanta authorities that the cops are simply not up to the task at hand. Half of the cops in town are bubba-wanna-be's...and simply hired "guards". You would have to fire almost half of the entire force to start the fix here...and they sure aren't going to do that. So expect repeats...lots of them.
