4th of July parade route

Fri, 06/27/2008 - 4:06pm

By: The Citizen

The Peachtree City Recreation Department has released a map showing the parade line up, the water station locations and the porta john locations. “We thought it would be a good idea to inform everyone ahead of time where water stations would be, where the parade will start, and where the porta johns will be located,” says Ashley Alonso, parade coordinator.

The parade will begin at Village On The Green and continue north on Peachtree Parkway. It will turn left onto McIntosh and disburse into the Recreation Department and Huddleston Elementary School parking lots. There will be three water stations along the route. They will be located at Braelinn Road and Peachtree Parkway, Loghouse Road and Peachtree Parkway, and at Crosstown and Peachtree Parkway.

All parade participants need to be in line no later than 7:45 am if they want their entry judged. Judging will begin promptly at 8 am and the parade will begin at 9am. Spots will be marked and parade staff will be available to help line the participants up and guide everyone in the right direction. Everyone needs to be ready no later than 8:45 am. “This is going to be a great parade with unique entries and a lot of floats,” says Alonso.

This year there will be a total of 31 porta johns, including two that are handicap accessible. The porta johns will be scattered along the parade route and throughout the city. They will be at City Hall, all along the Parkway, Battery Way, in front of the fire station, Dover Square and by the Wyndham Hotel.

The 700-800 foot fire safety zone will affect Picnic Park and Drake Field. Those areas will be prohibited for spectators. The All Children’s Playground will remain open for play until 8 pm. At this time, all persons must be cleared from the area. All other areas at City Hall will remain open for viewing. The Fire Department will hold the Fire Expo at Drake Field from 2 pm until 4 pm. At that time all citizens will be asked to clear the area. Alonso says, “There will be a variety of food vendors and music by Cedar Hill at City Hall for your enjoyment.”

Some brilliant citizens have already put out tarps on the hill across from city hall. Absolutely amazing......

Tarps were out last night at Battery Way Park..

I laughed out loud. Although, what does it really hurt? It's not like there is beautiful grass there. Smiling

tarp wars...

If these are 'tarps' (fabric/plastic), then scissors should cut right through real nicely, leaving the stakes, if any, in place.

If the city is really serious about NOT saving space this early, then they need to go get the tarps and even issue some kind of citation, if the twerpy tarp owner shows up.

But there's nothing stopping the fine citizens of PTC from gathering up those tarps....

That is hilarious. Power to them if the blankets are still there tomorrow night.

4th of July tradition

Our family always goes to the Fourth of July parade on the golf cart, and on the way home swings by Partners Pizza and drop off some blankets for the fireworks.

Hey skyspy, I meant to ask you, how does your menagerie handle the noise of the fireworks? Are your beasties skittish?

Hey Sniffles

Submitted by skyspy on Thu, 07/03/2008 - 8:09am.

One dog needs valium. No big problems.

Have a safe 4th Sniffles.

If it is that bad, leave already

Perhaps, you should move back to where you came from. This has been a PTC tradition for years and we have no intention of stopping it. We used to tell people who did not like living here, Delta is ready when you are. So start your packing.

DELTA went broke doin that. The "New Delta" is follerin right along. They simple won't cut thar salaries and expenses. And I aint paying thousands to fly no whar.

Why, cut nobody's salary! Just go the way of Eastern eventually!
Maybe they are too big to survive? Maybe cut routes and destinations and head counts?
I don't know but if they are hog-tied by unions and such they may go down again.

sage,

I'll vote for you as the head sheriff but don't ever think about becoming a CFO for an airline. BTW, do you know how many unions are at Delta?

cyclist, unions

Submitted by sageadvice on Mon, 06/30/2008 - 6:43pm.

One is too many!
I guess the attendants lost out.
Maintenance gets what they earn without a union, I think.

Unions

Submitted by carbonunit52 on Mon, 06/30/2008 - 6:57pm.

Management created the need for unions. Unions did not create the need for management.

No management required?

There is a novel idea!

I am sure Airtran,

Submitted by PTC32YEARS on Mon, 06/30/2008 - 11:49am.

I am sure Airtran, Continental, US Air, American or any other airline can take them too. Delta use to have the slogan, "We are ready when you are" And no, I do not work for Delta.

Disperse would have been nice
