MARTA actually will be people's best bet as an I-85 alternative.

Likely some building materials (which GDOT stored under the viaduct) that caught fire.

They will have it back open temporarily by Monday. Probably stick a bailey bridge in there no problem.

It was a damn triangle when I learned it.

What, pyramids aren't good enough for you?

Wasn't sure how I'd like it when I moved over a few years ago, but it's a nice, quite town with plenty to do not far away.

We like it. We lived in Midtown before I moved away for work for a couple of years. The wife stayed here for law school. We wouldn't have moved out here, but we have a two year old now. We bought a house out here in October and we've liked it thus far. It's safe with very very little crime, good schools and a decent amount of stuff to do outside of work.
