The idea was to reduce duplication of systems. All municipal districts that were in existence prior to 1945 (i.e. Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, etc.) were grandfathered in


Didn't know this and obviously the reason Sandy Springs didn't create their own system.

BTW if you wanna reduce Buckhead crime by a LOT close the Buckhead loop off 400.You'd see an immediate drop off at Lennox and Phipps.

MARTA! It ruined Lenox and Phipps and ruined Perimeter Mall once they put a station there too.

Not being racist, so don't even bother replying with that shite, it is facts! When I was a young girl my Mom and us girls would go down to Lenox and Neiman Marcus for a girls day out, go to the Tea Room and never ever once worried about being shot or robbed. There is no possible way I would ever go to Lenox or Phipps again. Perimeter is becoming the same.

Right after MARTA started running to the mall, there was a shooting

the shooter did not come up from Atlanta, he rode in from Norcross…

I don't remember a shooting at Perimeter right after the MARTA station opened, there was one in 1990 but that was pre-MARTA. Also, how did the shooter come from Norcross on MARTA since rail doesn't go to Gwinnett?

Meh.Marta had a station at Lennox before it started to get really bad in the late 90's.The loop made it extremely easy to get in and out of the area

Sorry that you get mad at the truth. It is 110% a positive. Don’t give a shite if you label me a racist behind the protective wall of an internet site. Keeps you from having your face rearranged.
