"The most important issue in the mayoral election should be Athens' poverty rate of more than 30 percent. It's embarrassing to live in a community with such a high poverty rate, and the only way to reduce poverty is to create more jobs. However, no one wants Athens to become Snellville purely for the sake of job creation."Ha! I think the 30% living in poverty in Athens would love for Athens to become like Snellville. Is it a terrible, terrible thing to have jobs and businesses such as chain restaurants? The horror! Sheesh.

New REM Music
The new R.E.M. CD, entitled Accelerate, is going to be released on April 1st.
It's available at Amazon.com for pre-ordering. You can also preview the music and a vido on the site. So, if you like, get one and keep our semi-local boys living in the manner in which they're accustomed.
I think I will probably get it...or at least, I should get it. My CD collection is living in the past. I still listen to the Talking Heads. So now you know I'm telling the truth! LOL
Maybe I will ask for it as a Mother's Day present...

Jocelyn Negron Snellville Artist Opens Store in Athens GA
Local seamstress Jocelyn Negron, a fifth-year digital media major from Snellville, is setting up shop exclusively in Dynamite Clothing (143 N. Jackson St.), said Lori Taluck, owner of the vintage clothing store.
Since Nov. 3, a space previously used for storage now serves as the designer's own studio, called "Dynamite Refinery," where she will create custom designs from used and vintage garments.
Negron has sold her designs at Fortsons Clothiers and Agora and is a member of the Serge design collective, which recently held a fashion show at Go Bar.
"She's taking vintage clothes and reworking them into more contemporary, interesting, wearable creations that still totally have a vintage flair," said Taluck, who also owns 283 Bar.
