Many years ago, as a young man, my late father would preach to me, two things. Ok, many things, but this will not be a lengthy discussion.
So, two things will suffice here:
1) First impressions are usually lasting impressions.
2) Know what you are getting into, before you get into it.
Starting with the latter item first, please allow me to state facts to the best of my abilities.
On the evening of Monday, August 1st 2016, I received a call at my home office from the President of my Modern Day Tribe (Kevin Heights Neighborhood) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Within that particular conversation, it was understood that an emergency meeting was called. Whereas, it was later discovered many citizens living along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (GA SR 139) were greatly concern with parts of engineering drawings regarding the seven point two (7.2) mile corridor or State Route mentioned above on the West side of Atlanta, Georgia.
In a sense, this particular meeting was perhaps historical by nature. Fore, in the image above, you will find Community Leaders, City Leaders and State Leaders as well.
Fact: President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) on February 17th 2009 for improvements to America's infrastructure. Click here to read more: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/economicrecovery/.
