It could be a number of reasons why economic investment hasn't shined down on Powder Springs'…Read More downtown area. Some of the probably reasons for this is that powder springs residents are not seen walking downtown despite the proximity of residential dwellings. Also, a lack of areas to park one's car near downtown could also be a culprit. One oddity I found is that the City has access and developed some high quality trail systems promoting alternative modes of transportation, however you drive down Marietta street and you discover there are no bike racks what so ever. Very counterproductive, due to the fact that their continued trail system is intended to link downtown with the outlying neighborhoods.

A couple of years ago, I was looking for a place to locate my business, and looked at a few rental…Read More spaces on the Powder Springs square. I ended up renting an office in Hiram instead, simply because there was just more going on there and I felt the area had better local amenities. My business doesn't depend on retail-type drive-by traffic (I'm an enterprise IT security consultant), but the sheer desolation of the Powder Springs square made me look elsewhere.
It's a vicious cycle, really - the Square is a ghost town, and businesses like mine don't want to locate in an area like that, so the square will remain desolate until something changes to make the square more attractive. The big problem is that I'm not sure the Powder Springs government has the ability to make any kind of change that would actually do so.
You mention that you're thinking of running for Mayor - if you run and are elected, what would you do to attract businesses to the square?

The first thing I would do is to try and determine why businesses are leaving, and why potential…Read More businesses dont consider Powder Springs. I have already spoke to some who advised me the government here is next to impossible to deal with starting here, and if here already a pain to stay. What does that mean? I am digging deeper. If Powder Springs has useless regulations that are political, then that needs to change. Second I look to communities that have changed, and improved. Go see the Village Green in Smyrna. Smyrna was a joke and now the downtown is vibrant. Alive and inviting. No reason whatsoever Powder Springs cannot use that same business model and thrive. The company I work for is looking for office warehouse space. I found several nice buildings in Powder SPrings. My broker advised to not even consider Powder Springs. Very sad.

Joel, the speech in front of the Woodrow Wilson Center is even more ironic and scary. Wilson was a…Read More scary president because he jailed his political opponents for opposing the war after campaigning to keep us out of WWI. Also, his hatred of black Americans showed no humanity even after blacks voted overwhelmingly for him.

Pam J,
Please don' t assume that Verizon is the only company.....it is everyone of them. Verizon…Read More is the only one we have been told about. :(

And yet there has to be something that made you develop that opinion. I'm fascinated to hear what…Read More makes someone develop a personal belief that is so utterly reductive.
The "anecodotal (sic) and opinion evidence (whatever that is...)" that created my belief is informed by empathy, compassion, understanding, and open-mindedness. What have you got?

Might recheck history; this nation was founded on religious freedom. You write as if you have…Read More disdain for other faiths, such as the one Jesus was a part of - you might remember, it was Judaism. Thought that was in the Bible - all the iterations, even the politically re-written versions.

Most people don't know that the Trident originally had no eagle on it until the Navy made it an…Read More exclusive Seal emblem... as a UDT member from the EOD side it pi$$ed a lot of us off that it was taken away. Seals had buds, basic underwater demolition and we had studs, strategic tactics underwater demolition. Anyway, we should have a cup of coffee, I bet we swam some of the same waters. Nihil Obstat, brother..

Our youth are engaging in acts before their minds and bodies are ready for the acts.

@KJL: My have three children. It never ceased to amaze me the stories they would tell about friends…Read More having oral sex because "that isn't sex"- and about how young the friends were when they started. If information will help us to combat this problem then, yes, we should obtain it. For parents who think this will lead to your children thinking they are abnormal, think again. The fact that their friends are and they aren't already makes them feel that way. And if you think that this battle can be handled in the home, it should- and on every other front we can find.

Frankly, I don't believe anyone NEEDS or has the RIGHT to expect a Bible or any religious book at a…Read More state park. I go to enjoy the outdoors. Anyone who wants to bring their own religious text is free to do so. It is not right for the state parks to give the impression that they are in favor of certain religions and beliefs and not others.

Stephen: Just because a text explicitly states something does that mean there is only one meaning…Read More and interpretation of that verse or biblical text? For example the one you quoted have many different interpretations and meanings, most of which do not even indirectly relate to homosexuality.
On another note...you seem to be a student of the Bible and ancient texts, as well as someone who is versed in many subjects. We have small group discussions on some of these topics, sometimes at my home, other friends' homes, and sometimes at coffee shops or other public places. And I often seek out those whose opinions or understandings may be different than mine to participate--not to debate whose opinion is right (though certainly some of that takes place) but to learn from each other and try to find some commonalities. If you think you might like to participate sometime feel free to contact me directly at pilgrim1@mindspring.com (and this goes for other bloggers too).

Look for all you obama supporters y'all need to shut up. There was a ton of evidence, speculation…Read More and everything else showing this president and his administration were and are as crookex as a dogs hind leg. Y'all idiots voted him back in at least that what they say I'm still not sure it wasn't a rigged election you know the kinds they have in russia? If there was a picture of president obama snortin coke off the oval office desk and a whore under each arm and him toasting the leader of iran y'all would still worship this creep.
