You're probably right. No matter what two nondescript clusters of cul de sacs and strip malls serve as the end points though, the bottom line is still the destruction of some of the best neighborhoods in Atlanta.<br><br>

OK, I wasn't familiar with that plan, but such a route would connect say McDonough with Cumming/Dawsonville/Dahlonegah rather than P'tree City w/ Woodstock.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Oxendine actually took a bit of heat for it early in the campaign, but basically stated that he loved East Atlanta, but we all had to make sacrifices for the greater good (as in destroying some of the best neighborhoods in Metro Atlanta).<br>

Hey Larrry,<br><br>I was thinking that Michael Moore calling someone fat would be much a more apropos comparison.<br>Pardon my ignorance, but what is a Vogon?<br>I live in and grew up Fayetteville (10 miles East of Peachtree City). My father, about 50-52 yrs ago, as a Delta Airlines pilot tried to build the first house in P'tree City but couldn't get a loan from the Atl banks because it was too far out in the country. That's not relevant to the topic, but you comment about destroying East Atl for a Mega Bypass to get from P'tree City to Woodstock makes no sense, both are on the West side of Atl and one can go straight up Hwy 74 to I-85 to I-285 to I-75 to I-575 and be in Woodstock much quicker than any conceivable "eastern passage" as you propose. Are you perhaps thinking of the roadway that DID destroy some of East Atl but Jimmy Carter killed the project when he was Gov. and the road now takes you to his Library and on to E. Ponce?<br>

</div>That would be Nathan Deal. He's doing his best to out-wingnut the other<br>
