Perfect — we already have an admission that the transportation tax, as sold to date, is a bill of goods. Once the revenue spigot gets turned on, turning it off will be nearly impossible. Most of our local pols want every penny of our money they can get their hands on and (now admittedly) have no intention of stopping at a mere $6.1 billion. If I could vote against this plan 50 times, I would.
This Cakes & Ale review perfectly captures my feelings about David Sweeney and his wonderful, wonderful food. I, too, am a card carrying member of the Dynamic Dish cult. Much gratitude to Billy and Kristin for bringing David to Decatur.
Agreed!

Thought I’d seen a similar building on East Ponce. Wonder if the original structure could be what’s behind the auto restoration business next to Dixie Glasshoppers (according to Google maps street view, approximately 2698 East Ponce De Leon Avenue)?
So sad about the birds. Thanks for posting.
