Tail Wagging

And the poisonous seep begun with Sandy Springs continues to spread. With each day it becomes more difficult to contain the hate.

Dunwoody votes on cityhood next month and now some yammering suit in Buckhead pictures himself standing alongside radicals Sam Adams and John Hancock.

No one is happy with the final gasps of Mayor Millilou's term. Whether your personal gripe is strange accounting practices, increased water bills due to the drought or the recent rise in crime, when Creative Loafing and Dick Williams agree, the water is starting to boil.

But those who feel the hot zephyrs of passion should be careful which tack they take. Victory in the creation of Buckhead City could be short lived as most doubt the central Atlanta core can survive any more shavings of the tax fat.

The aforementioned yammering suit Glenn Delk wishes to call forth stirring images of our founding revolution. He would be wise to heed another symbol from that time, the separated snake which must hang together or hang separately, or his new found Buckhead City could become the tail which twitches lifelike after the loss of the head until it also falls still.

I got mail from the City of Buckhead people at my house yesterday. Not sure why they're sending mail to Virginia-Highland...

Then again, if Buckhead secedes then that crazy City of Midtown idea may not be far behind.

I ran some of the numbers here, and they are distorting the picture a bit. Also, this will never happen.

There is also the whole thing of fomenting a very nasty divorce that could hurt the entire metro Atlanta region in terms of attracting business, hurting not just Buckhead, but everywhere. We're having enough trouble as it is with the sprawl; this would make things far, far worse.

There are parts of Atlanta north of Ponce? Go figure.
