I think 515 was built around 1980-1981 because I graduated from high school in 1981 and there is a picture of the first traffic light in Blairsville (on 515) in my yearbook on the page about things that happened that year.

I got to thinking about this and I am probably wrong. I think that road was 76 then and it went through where the Park & Ride is now. The traffic light is in the same place it was, but I think 515 (the 4-lane) was built a few years later. Shadow, you are probably right, as usual. Of course, you're younger than me so you can remember better. LOL

On Monday morning after the big snow, our road was scraped, or snow plowed, before 8am, and a sand/gravel truck was on site shortly. Now our road is kinda desolate, only 6 families on entire road and only part is county maintained. It was not the perfect driving road, but under the conditions it was passable.

Even though I am still passionate against the sole commissioner form of government, the commissioner's decision to use private contractor's was the right one. Union's limited resources were getting overwhelmed.

So, maybe the commissioner read the forum and took the correct and immediate action.

He is to be congratulated on his foresite.

Please explain as I am not criticizing but just DON'T understand - Why do I "pay" the same amount of taxes as those who get helped but I don't get the benefits? Again, not complaining just trying to understand the services besides, I am a hermit and wont' leave
anyway. Woofs for responses please..

However, I had plenty of food, a full tank of LP, a cable that worked and the internet.

So, let it sno, I am OK as long as the chocolate latte holds out.

Rather than praising the commissioner for finally doing something beneficial,it might indicate what he hasn't done in the past.IT reminds me of a person looking for a pat on the back for kicking the smoking habit.Next Thursday will be my last day in the holy land of North Georgia.Where I am heading, there will be no garbage littering the streets,no one stealing tax money,garbage pick-up twice a week,doctors that are proficient in their jobs,no more Barney Fife type police force and people that hate me because of where I came from and what I believe or don't believe,and numerous places to spend money ,such as olive garten, red lobster and stores for my wife to shop.If this means I am complaining,that's exactly what it is.Those that are happy living here I am sharing your happiness.I expect more from my life and it isn't available here.WRJ Realist
