        Is this the link? http://saportareport.com/blog/2012/04/more-cycling-walking-and-green-space-will-make-atlanta-a-more-competitive-city/

        It’s the best I could find on saportareport.com. I was thinking of a different kind of “hot”.

          I had the wrong link. Correct link is much hotter. Sure hope someone with power to fund public transit is reading/listening. Suburban sprawl is not hot, no longer profitable, not the future. Hey–this is one trend that I was ahead on! I’m usually the last to adopt anything hot, mostly out of lack of awareness. But my gut instinct all along has been that Intown, especially Decatur, was the place to be.

      Maria’s article once again points out the extreme importance of making investments in public infrastructure like transportation and education. Our future quality of live is at stake. And once again the politicians at the Gold Dome have failed us.

      Today is the birthday of somebody VERY important to the city of Decatur.

      In his honor.

      Let me try this again, in honor of a very important birthday (now your age matches your birth year?)

        Ok, so this is someone born on April 5, 1956 who is now 56 years old? But I’m not in the know enough to know who.
