So you Googled "Celtic" to argue the etymology behind a patently facetious comment.

Newark, or maybe Detroit should be the model to avoid gaping holes of pessimism I guess.

      <![CDATA[Downtown is empty because we keep coddling racist white people and crafting policy/building infrastructure around their ignorance, instead of ostracizing them and telling them to go fuck off. Until we stigmatize their destructive behavior, they'll keep fucking up every American city with a population 4+ black people.

      <![CDATA[It is absolutely criminal that this city government has allowed the center of the city to deteriorate into the state that it is and only now is interested in yet another "study". The city already attracts millions of visitors annually with its conventions and trade shows which makes the current state of downtown even MORE appalling.

      <![CDATA[This is all pretty entertaining given the recent spate of articles on APN, esp the one last night... That Kwanze Hall (the actual district council person - this is a serious etiquette breach in council politics) wasn't invited is all the more amusing.<br>
Is this how the two of them hope to garner city-wide attention, whilst diverting from Willis's ethics case before the Georgia Bar -?<br>
The Nod Squad is going to have to do better than this to vault one of these two into Reed's seat upon his departure.
