Re: “Proctor Creek's second chance”
Is there any way to see a map of where Proctor Creek and the proposed linear park/trail connecting to the Beltline are? Is this the same proposed trail the Connect the Comet group (check them out on FB) is talking about? Thanks.

Love it. He's my hero of the week.
Re: “CL named AAN Award finalist in two categories”
AVN awards, that's awesome, will they be held in Vegas again this year?
Re: “D.R.E.S. tha BEATnik fighting for ATL”
Why is that? I don't begrudge the Progression of the Artform... I begrudge the Educational System of America. Can we agree with that?

Eric and Mark. Is this the part where I shamefacedly look down at my shoes and say, "Gee guys, I guess you're right"? Atlanta crime doesn't frighten me. The reason is that I am alert and prepared for it. What I find curious is that so many in this city are in complete denial of it.
Re: “CL named AAN Award finalist in two categories”
congrats! maybe this will result in some much needed investment into creative loafing and higher readership. i love CL and i can remember back in the 90s when there were regular humour columnists, locally made comic strips, and all kinds of interesting things CL can't afford anymore.

plain talk is like a really obvious less funny version of simplepete

@ Mark from Atlanta
"If Arther (sic) Blank really wanted to be civic minded he would sell solar panels at every Home Depot at a discount."
If you feel so strongly, why don't you buy them yourself? Why should the shareholders of Home Dept, Lowe's, or similar companies subsidize your passion?

Thank you for the catch, Buttercup. Her name has been corrected.

Re: “Falcons land $200 million NFL loan to build new shrine to bone-crushing injuries and fleeting glory”
jsut admit it - plain talk is right.
everyone smart enough to understand that arthur blank and the falcons ripped off the citizens of atlanta (and visitors) to enrich himself to the tune of 500+ million dollars of taxpayer money is just some non-girl-kissing fun-hater who didn't make the cut for his high school football team.
good call, plain talk!
"If you played football in high school you would understand why the stadium is so important."
classic plain talk genius.
Re: “Tea Party groups protest IRS outside Gold Dome”
Good Marx, the unmitigated temerity of these selfish malcontents. How dare they invoke such blasphemy as "freedom of conscience" and "free association". By the way, walk down Simpson or Old National for a few hours, and you will see exactly what your taxes pay for.
Re: “City Council OK's Downtown Ferris wheel construction, allows Atlantans to forge memories that will last a lifetime”
Wow, funny how a ferris wheel debate can really bring out the acute symptoms of hoplophobia (look it up). Back to my previous point, the ferris wheel will be a hygienic nightmare. Rowdy "youths" left unattended in an enclosed space will get up to all kinds of pernicious mischief. Why do you think the ten minute "self cleaning" toilet cubicles in Five Points Marta station went bust?

The last question and answer is what it's really about (outside of money of course).

The Gorgeous JR was nominated for best commenter as well.
Good Job CL for keeping us informed.
