AJC Reports Gas Line Break on W. Parkwood Dr.
Decatur Metro | April 25, 2008 | 10:54 amFrom the AJC…
DeKalb County firefighters are responding to a gas line rupture at the western edge of Decatur.
Construction crews broke a gas line Friday morning at 316 West Parkwood, said Mekka Parish, spokeswoman for the DeKalb Police Department.
Fire department officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Why would DeKalb County firefighters respond to a gas line rupture within the city limits?
I’m not so sure it’s in the city limits. There are a couple city limit signs on E. Parkwood (which is closer to downtown), so I’d say that if it’s not right on the line, it’s probably a little outside of Decatur.
Because E. Parkwood is in the Decatur city limits, but W. Parkwood is not.

Parkwood is a big loop, with the eastern side inside the city, and the western side outside.

Great call Lain. Just looked at a map…E. Parkwood is inside the city, W. Parkwood is in unincorporated DeKalb. I wish there wasn’t more than one “Decatur”.
And just for the record, North Parkwood is half in and half out of City of Decatur.
