In a picture on
my book shelf, all seven of Peachtree City's mayors are standing in
a row on City Hall plaza for a formal shot illustrating a 1994 magazine
story. For some reason, somebody invited me to get into the picture,
as a souvenir for writing the story, I guess.
Where
we live is not where it's at
By BILLY
MURPHY

Location, location,
location. The key to life, as a real estate agent would tell it, is
where you live. Nowadays it seems that is more true than ever. I'm not
putting money down on that theory, but lots do.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Answers
for questions about Mexicans here
I'm writing in response
to LeGay Saul's letter printed in the Aug. 22 edition of The Citizen.
LeGay had "a few questions that maybe one of your readers might
answer."
Unchecked
immigration leads to overcrowding
I am worried about
the level of immigration into this country, but not for racial, ethic,
or job security related reasons. In fact, I hire many recent immigrants
in my business.
Invasion
of illegals is unjust, bad for U.S.
This letter is to
make some comments about the Citizen Opinion about amnesty. We believe
this invasion of illegal Mexicans is not only bad for the country but
also for towns where they are congregating.
'Don't
let our children grow up ashamed to be white'
When the 11th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's decision regarding
the University of Georgia's racist admissions policy, a step toward
mediocrity was delayed. Though the trend seems to be with wide acceptance
of racist policies, it's nice to see that some people realize the damaging
effects.
Brown:
Where has Wellman been?
I read the Aug.
22 letter to the editor from my mayoral opponent regarding "the
coming arrival of Wal-Mart and Home Depot and the effect they will have
on the small business economic landscape of our city" with great
interest.
Tennant:
I'm staying put, not running for mayor
OK, Labor Day is
behind us, so we can talk about politics now.
Faulkner:
I remember how PTC looked in '72
Some people vote
for the candidate with the most money, the most signs, and the best
publicity. I am asking for you to elect me to City Council on Nov. 6
because my knowledge, experience and motivation can be beneficial to
us.
Attention,
amphitheater fans: rock bands play loud music
Upon reading Cynthia
Freeman's letter commenting on the "Chastain-level volume"
of the Marshall Tucker Band concert, I felt compelled to respond. Had
Ms. Freeman done research prior to arriving at the concert, she
would have realized that the Marshall Tucker Band is, in fact, a rock
band.
MTB,
come back to the 'Fred'
I read the letter
from the lady who said don't invite the Marshall Tucker Band back to
the "Fred." The concert on Friday night was the best display
of country rock and blues I have ever seen. The three lead guitars were
incredible.
Thanks
to all who've helped the Hinkle family in PTC
Many of you have
read about the tragic car accident that took the lives of Nancy Hinkle
and her twin 3-year-old daughters, Emily and Elizabeth, on June 4, as
they returned from a family graduation party in Ohio with Gary Hinkle,
Nancy's husband of 26 years.
Democrats
divide and conquer
I cannot believe
that our state senator, Greg Hecht, would have the audacity to write
the letter he wrote to The Citizen and expect the constituents to believe
it.
Hecht
has done a great job
I'm here to praise
my state senator, Greg Hecht. He has done a remarkable job in the state
legislature. He has worked tirelessly for Fayette County and also the
state of Georgia.
