Thinking Out Loud

I suppose many Creekers sincerely believed the formation of a new city would cure all ills. Gone would be the days of Fulton County’s destructive decision-making, real or perceived, in our northern regions.

Crazy-making county-level decisions that prevented full build-outs of our libraries, consistent repaving of our roads, barely adequate public safety programs, and rezoning decisions that left our neighborhood leaders scratching their heads or flat out angry would be a distant memory. Our hard-earned tax dollars would have a local and more visible impact. Hooray.

My Summer Vacation

It has been an interesting summer! Everybody found their own way to enjoy (or endure) Georgia’s heat. For some it was sleeping a little later, enjoying the lighter traffic, or maybe some fun at the beach. I had my share of that, too, but not nearly enough.

It was the advice the nation needed to hear on 9/11. Sadly, it was ignored.

Welcome to The Post!

Earlier this year, I thought it would be a clever idea to create a Johns Creek-centric news outlet that not only covered our local city government and political scene, but also examined the impact of state and national issues on our community.

As I talked to my friends and colleagues about the idea, they had a few things on their news wish lists: more in-depth coverage of local news, cultural and community activities, book reviews, something webby, and blogs that dealt with meaningful matters within the community.
