Confirmation: ATL Fat Cats ARE Pissed About MARTA

Decatur Metro | April 14, 2009

Looks like my hunch was right.

Its not just rail-smooching socialists that are upset about the GA legislature’s blatant disregard for MARTA.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that CAP and other Atlanta business leaders are also very unhappy with the Gold Dome crew.

And if you think that doesn’t matter, you aren’t a politician.

Recovering From the Storm

Decatur Metro | April 14, 2009

There’s still a lot of clean up to do after yesterday’s wind nightmare.

Feel free to use this post to report updated power outages, road closings, etc.

My personal experience:

Ponce Heights still has no power and Altmod reports GA Power is saying it won’t be up until 8p Wednesday.  Traffic was so bad this morning I turned around and took the train in.  Wish I had just done that in the first place.

Be safe out there.
