If it's off limits who gets access? Is it marked "private" or "limited access"? Perhaps a key would be needed?
Oh, well. They have'm on video - guess that don't point out where hidden cameras are located.

Ya, happy spring. In the Denver area it snows in April and this year in May.
The typical reason folks park in any parking space is to facilitate the purchase of goods and to facilitate appointments. Chances are the longer one is parked the more businesses will profit whether groceries, retails, restaurants, bars, or music venues which is one reason the downtown business owners resent parking rate increases and extended paid parking hours (simply another way for the city/county to make easy money). There have been at a couple of parking spaces on College Ave. with 15 minute time limits. 
Parking meters and decks charge you to spend $$ much like a tax for the privilege to do business. Free enterprise for evening/weekend parking abounds as well with banks, churches, other business specific lots charging to privilege park; check out parking during Athfest in June.
Guess this puts a crimp in the Westin's plans.

So, really they're still spending the same $$, not "saving".

Would those restrictions apply to state owned property?

Don't know, that's why I wrote "seems".

His native country is Uraguay, trained at Penn St. and came to GA from California. Seem to me that Twin Gables would fall under Augusta's strict historic sites protection to curtail the changes, particularly those to structurally enlarge the residence.

Will someone announce the winners please?
posted @ Saturday, May 4, 2013 - 14:22"Funds for Healing and Hope will be raised through Chaffin’s plant sale". I always want to know the % of sales to donations when participating in this type shopping/fundraising. "and potentially donations from the food trucks." So, the food trucks haven't committed to any donations?
According to this article: "North Carolina-based charity". According to Healing and Hope through Science website they benefit "patients at Duke Children's Hospital and UNC Children's Hospital". Would be much more logical to raise donations for local organizations such as ESP or Hope Haven or even Egleston and keep those funds in Georgia.

@Man_Of_The_Mountain: Ed has created his career as a very good defense attorney to represent those guilty individuals that can afford his fees in order to minimize their responsibilities in whatever their crimes are. Anyone in these dire circumstances that could pay him might hire him.

posted @ Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - 21:46One part of his sentencing should be to have the word GREED tattooed on his large forehead. Does anyone else remember back when he was UGA coach the vision of him routinely strutting around town in gym shorts & t-shirt no matter the season? Ugh! Makes me sick to even think about it! 
@Magicman: Google it and you'll see the Oneta St. location. TJ & partners opened that store front location late 2011. What a terrible spot if you hoped to encourage walk-ins. You could purchase there or join the "club" and order online. Looks like he found a much better physical location but changed the name 
@Magicman: Does TJ still have his Five Mile Club store on Oneta? I always understood it was predominately an online store to begin with.

Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases. Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
