No one noticed that Food Truck Park is bringing the ocean to the ATL?

Good luck. Part of the problem is that goods are so cheap nowadays, given their complexity, that it’s too expensive to fix them. Years ago, I had a neat plug in wall fan that worked fantastic in my bathroom. When some bathtub remodelers ruined it with the stuff they were spraying, I took it to be repaired. The repair was great but cost more than the fan originally cost. I could have just bought a new one.

Speak of “dying industries” and appliance repair–is there anywhere nearby that would fix a radio that stopped working? It’s one of those radio/cd player combos; cd works fine, radio just hisses. It’s the kind of thing where, growing up, there would have been some little hole-in-the-wall store full of weird stuff and a mechanical whiz neighborhood character who’d fix anything with a plug. Nowadays, like the article says, the urge is to throw away/get a new one and I want to avoid that. Thanks!

I love our little library. I want my kids (and most importantly, my wife) to feel safe there. I hope the city and/ or county takes all the incidents the past year or two seriously and keeps a strong security presence despite all the recent financial constraints.
