did not know: Tyrone Publix drug deal gone sour...where are the details?There has been NOTHING in the Citizen or the AJC about the deal at Publix about 730p last night! Young Lover O F...: Logsdon: Pushing High Density in Peachtree CityCitizen 03/07/2006 Logsdon hasn’t been shy about his wish to annex land in the “West Village” and Monday said he hopes to annex, the entire island of unincorporated county from the current city limits west of the CSX railroad track all the way north to the Tyrone town limits. Young Lover O F...: Logsdon: It's The Developers, Not The CityArticle: County critical of annexation plans AJC, August 17, 2006 The flurry of annexation requests doesn't mean Peachtree City, Fayette's most populous city with 36,000 residents, is looking to grow, Logsdon said. Property owners are initiating the annexation bids, not the city, he said. Citizen_Steve: Cart Path Route - Best Buy <-> Market Place??With the new bridge on 54 I figured there'd be a cart path across the tracks so one could get across either on the Best Buy side or the Huddleston side. But I can't find a way across - did I just miss it - is one in the works? PTC Guy: New Engine DesignsSaw it on the news today. As I believed, and have said, hybred engines are dead end, tech speaking. One new very promising design is mech storage, as I was advocating before. There is a nitrogen compression system that stores and released power. Young Lover O F...: Logsdon: I Pushed On TDK, Can't Do It Quick EnoughNewnan Times Herald "I have been a proponent of the TDK extension," Logsdon said. "I think the mayor's office needs to take a lead on that," Logsdon said. Spear Road Guy: Cal Beverly Won't Be Eating CrowCal Beverly, Editor and Publisher, you were exactly correct. I feel like the guy in Vegas who plopped all his winnings down on a number and then wish he hadn’t. Dinner tables all over Peachtree City are going to be serving crow on a stick, small potatoes, mushed corn. Reality Bytes: I'm done...again...I really need a life. So I'm going back to it. Thanks for the fun....please feel free to take pot shots as I leave. mapleleaf: How's the Fayette County real estate market?How's the Fayette County real estate market? Seventy-five Fayette real property owners are scheduled to lose their property, generally their home, early next month. Sixty-seven are foreclosures (failure to make payments on a mortgaged property) and eight are tax sales (failure to pay county property tax). They'll all be sold on the Fayette courthouse steps on Tuesday, September 5. Git Real: TDK Conspiracy Theory & Sexual FavorsSomeone Help Me With This Please I thought the TDK extension was about relieving Hwy 54 traffic. Now we see we are about to have a massive development piggybacked on top of this project (And no...I'm not talking about a few subdivisions). Some serious questions need to be looked into and I would like to know what the relationships of the advocates were in pushing this project through. Particuarly those of our elected officials. did not know: Robin Kittrel?http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/fayette/stories/0813metwhitewater.htm Why has there been no follow up stories on the child that spooked kids at Whitewater bad enough to think they were gonna have another Columbine? Classmates of Kittrel said he heard the stories too, and said he brought the guns to help in case there was a problem. Something is wrong here, very wrong, and no one is talking about it. Who is this other kid and why haven't people checked him out? Reality Bytes: The Youth of Peachtree City...This is a telling quote from the AJC. "I think it's ridiculous to pay $50 to get a parking spot," said McIntosh sophomore Kiana Aguilar, who parks on Petrol Point. She pointed toward the Gables Court apartments on Stevens Entry. "I'll probably go park in that neighborhood down there." dar thompson: There was "ONE"Yes, there was one candidate who made no promises regarding taxes. Yes, there was a candidate who found a way to generate money for the city which would help lighten the tax burden. Reality Bytes: Get Involved. Boy, that's just scary.Another blogger, one that I respect for his use of "facts" (even if I don't agree with his opinions), PTC Guy, reminded the populous online that I was a leader in the "Anybody But Brown" group. That can be said, and I won't necessarily fight it, but before that, I actually had a purpose way back when. silent no more: How we feelHarvey is right, the guys in the drug task force have been keeping up with the blogs for quite some time now and it amazes me that we do the job we do only to come here and find such criticism. That’s why I would like to personally thank those who show their appreciation through their comments here. We work to serve you the public, not for money but for your appreciation only. We ask nothing else of you. We work countless hours hoping to provide a safe environment for your children and ours.

Spear Road Guy: AJC’s Wooten - Straight Talk on DevelopmentAJC’s Wooten - Straight Talk on Development Jim Wooten’s column in the August 22 edition of the AJC entitled “High-density growth makes knots tighter” is a perfect commentary on Peachtree City’s Westside annexation and the tumultuous development efforts on our border in Coweta County. I think we'd better pay attention. PTC Guy: Georgia and WaterWe have water wars going on between Florida and Alabama versing Georgia. We have the Atlanta water issues. We have a number of areas constanting facing shortages throughout the state. Git Real: Ordering Pizza in 2010Spear Road Guy: Local Government Decisions & Developer MotivationThe developers work solely for their own enrichment, driven by a profit motive. No, Mudcat, I'm not condeming all developers as some truly look at how they can work with and improve the community via their projects. eodnnaenaj1: Bandit,Sometimes I actually have to work!! And I miss news stories - did they ever catch the guy who was robbing the ice cream stores? Git Real: 150 MPG Bio-Diesel EngineSpear Road Guy: Annexation Test For Commissioner HorganRobert Horgan voted decidedly anti-annexation regarding a landowners attempt to annex a 16-acre tract on Trickum Creek Road into Tyrone. Horgan to this point, has been a slow growth advocate. bad_ptc: Parents, teach your children wellThere have been a number of “new” younger additions to the forums/blogs lately. I bid you welcome. They have issues they want to discuss and present evidence too. Great! I’m glad there here. bad_ptc: Great weekend discussion!It saved me from cutting the grass. I want to thank all who participated in this weekend’s discussion about retail and water use. Jones: Devlopment tsunami comingI’ve read everyone’s comments on this web site for four months. Up to now, I’ve had no desire to make any public comments. PTC Guy: WaterIn all the discussions about building more homes, stores and so on, I keep mentioning this issue. But no one is responding. Spear Road Guy: Developer Worship, Reality & Our FutureWe have a few bloggers that want to bow down and worship the Almighty Developer, the holy one that created Peachtree City. It was really several different developers and an insurance company who shaped the development of the city. The Equitable Life Assurance Company was the BEST THING that ever happened to Peachtree City, not the developers. The original developer, including first mayor Joel Cowan, had some pretty wild plans, including 80,000 residents, traffic gridlock and crowded schools. Their concept was to have a self sustaining city, create mass jobs and mass housing for labor, definitely not a bedroom community. They were aiming for blue collar jobs and a blue collar housing market (Gwinnett and Clayton County style). However, they failed and the Equitable ended up holding the bag due to default.
