@mordred: I was thinking the same thing. People are fascinated by the way fire in Athens seems to play a role in the "development" of this town. I recently attended this church and it was a small and extremely welcoming group in a gorgeous building. Their outreach to the homeless and unfortunate in this city truly reflected the teachings of Jesus, whereas it seems the larger churches for example
PABC can't seem to wait to get out of town.

If they were really smart they would utilize 36 acres of parking lots and the panels could probably even be fitted to collect rainwater which could be stored in a cistern to water the landscaping or other uses. The cooler temperatures under the panels would also help reduce the urban heat Island effect at ground level creating a perpetually flowing breeze..

Heck, when I was in college the drinking age was 18. Same age one could go to fight for their country. By the way didn't Broun's son get arrested for Marijuana? To which Broun had earlier come out in support for its legalization for medical use?

Maybe they should build all this ugly as crap student housing out that way as well.

Please whoever makes these decisions, Do not allow this smug idiot back on the streets again, and make full use of the evidence collected on the phones, but the powers that be were really clueless to make that public in the first place,

@Abbesays: really? Haven't thought about taxing guns mmmmmm,,,,, I thought they kept track of automobiles to find those responsible for any accidents or crimes committed with the vehicles. They do that all the time, the older a car is the lower the tax rate as well.

@Sockpuppet: But y'all want to control access to birth control as well.

Nobody has the right to control the personal health care decisions between a patient and their doctor, not you, me or the government. As far as guns go. A photo ID Weapons License should be required for all weapon and ammunition purchases. All licensees should be required to pass a class/test on safe handling, proper shooting techniques, and a background check before receiving their license. Renewable every 3 years. They should also be required to have insurance on each of the weapons they own based on level of ability to commit damage ie cheaper to insure a flintlock than an assault rifle. all weapons and serial numbers should be recorded. That makes the most sense, heck it is exactly what I have to do to own a car.

We are here for you Anastasia

I doubt he stole it and I bet the other guy was involved

Here comes the seeds of another financial collapse, how many empty bedrooms are there already in this darn town?

When will it ever end, yet another generic looking structure with a curved corner, are you sure this isn't a picture of one of the other new buildings downtown or that motel next to the Classic Center they are supposed to build?

What's the deal with all the new constructions having a goofy functionless rotunda in the design, Zell Miller Center, and the new Special collections library both have them already. C'mon Danny do something different and unique for a change.

Guess I better git to whippin my slaves like it says in that there Bible.

Good one, Ed.

I could not be surprised if it does not have something to do with the temperature differential between the inner and outer surfaces of the glass related to the curvature of the glass panels.

Excellent! Looking forward to visiting and helping them get product.

The University could use one of these between East Campus/Married Housing and the Multi-modal Transportation Center.

Athens does not need any more damn "Student Apartments!" The ones on East Broad are nowhere near capacity, why the hell are banks even loaning money out for such crap. All it does is bankrupt the ones that have come before. There needs to be an emphasis on housing for professors and staff closer to the university. Envision something like row houses in New York City or London England, not something like communist housing in Russia!

Have environmental/archeological impact studies been done on this site? This is where the city was founded, it should not be immediately bulldozed without a full historical assessment. Once the earth is moved every thing is lost.

and make it easier to delete double posts

They should only plant trees native to Georgia.

Establish an arts program and utilize the art created by the inmates merely for the cost of materials.

I say keep Ed on Sunday, and also have him on Wednesdays or other days of the week. As one of the more experienced journalists in Athens, he deserves more than one day every 2 weeks. He is a great writer and should not just be limited to the editorial pages.

I feel we should stop all development within the by pass to preserve Greenspace and maintain its livable village atmosphere. Build 20 story high rise condo's circling outside the bypass for all I care, but keep inside the bypass Green! We owe it to the smallest county in Georgia to not pave her over.

hey! I have a great idea! Let;s build a discount grocery in Athens. Only let's build it on Atlanta Highway between the Publix and the Ingle's just up the street from the Target which is expanding their grocery department as well.
