Does anyone know why the flags are flying at half staff in PTC?

Over the past several months I have come across several residents (including my wife) that have been to Dentist Gillikin in PTC. Every single person (over 12) I have talked to has had the same experience. The good dentist seems to tell all new comers that they have either the beginning stages of or already have “gum disease”. You can actually be in the chair and hear the same conversation being told to others, while it was just told to you. When the concerned patient falls for the bait, the good dentist is quick to send you off to visit a gum specialist, in Fayette County (name to remain anonymous for now). In one case, a person that went to this specialist noticed that the billing information for Dr. Gillikin and his specialist are the same.

This week Smokey Bones will close its doors. In just a few short years we have lost Valentinos, Macaroni Grill, Buckhead Brewery (soon to become new home to Walgreens), Ginza and the due to the tax man at the Avenues.
