Photos of empty grocery shelves have gotten some of us thinking that this could be the end of post-industrial society as we know it.  Honestly, a life without Cheetos and fudgesicles hardly seems a life worth living.

But what are some other major indicators of a post-snowpocalyptic world? I only ask because I need to know when it’s time to grab the baby and the bourbon and head for the hills (aka, the North Georgia “mountains”).

Is it hungry children chasing cats through our streets?  Grown, sober men turned away from a shuttered Brick Store in tears?  Kids banging on the doors of the Decatur High pleading to be taught?

When will we know that Decatur has gone from bad to totally nutso?
