Congratulations to the Oakhurst community and to all the folks who put together the Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival. I had a blast!

One of the main reasons I moved to Decatur when I was a young 20-something was because of the trees and sidewalks. YES REALLY. I envisioned my future kids playing hopscotch and learning how to ride their bikes on the sidewalks. (that was before these laws preventing bike traffic on sidewalks, although i understand decatur rescinded theirs)
I did grow up being taught that you walked on sidewalks, not streets, and that you obeyed traffic laws, no matter what mode of transportation you were using — and that includes bikes and foot travel.
it still amazes me that parents are teaching their children poor safety habits by letting them cross the street outside of crosswalks … i even saw a dad with his child appropriately attired in a helmet attempting to the street in their bikes front of chick fil a ..when the cross walk was less than a half-block up the street. these crosswalks, We are an impatient lot,, and i do know the lights are poorly timed, but come on people, the crosswalks are there for your safety …

My grandpa was one generation away from the Civil War ( I am not THAT old- my grandpa was very old when I was a kid!), so Yankees and Republicans were not exactly his favorite things. Fortunately, his politics followed the party!

By the way, DM, FFAF should be pronounced “ffaph,” not “phaf.”
