DEL.ICIO.USHow would you redesign Fayetteville?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Let’s pretend for a moment that you get to be the head honcho of Fayetteville.
You can decide what buildings go up and how many are constructed. You even get to decide where they are placed. Now, let’s say you can make a ruling about what places can be torn down; maybe you’d like to see one less empty store front and more park settings.
I know all of this may sound absolutely ridiculous, but it’s all in the name of make believe. I for one would like to see some of the buildings in the Fayette Pavilion bulldozed. One in particular is the building that sits on the Kohl’s side of the development.
It’s empty all year long and then around Halloween, someone rents it out and uses it to sell costumes. Yeah, it’s a great way to make use of space, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a little patch of grass there?
If you had your say which building could you do without? And what would you like to see in it’s place?

Bulldoze the whole crim-a-vilion. It’s just a warehouse for the clayton/fulton thugs anyway. Get RID of it. We can order what we need on line from better stores like Frontgate anyway. Let the thugs go somewhere else. I would have kept the historic look of our downtown area to match the look of the old courthouse, and the old homes that have been restored. Go to McDoungh square and see how charming that looks. Also they have several great restaurants right on the square. It looks very charming. Also the ugly strip malls by the food depot and big lots area all needs to be bulldozed. Most of those stores are empty anyway. GA 85 in Fayetteville looks like an ugly reproduction of riverdale.

I won’t be blogging here anymore. It’s comments like Bluebird and the racial comment like kneegrows that makes participating in this blog painful for me.

Bluebird,
Where is the next white flight area? Black people are flocking to Fayetteville. Look at Fayette High School and Sandy Creek High School. Just like Clayton, one by one your schools will turn all Black! Again, I ask, where is the next white flight area? I hope it is not Coweta. They have a gang problem.

Sorry, Bluebird. This is Fayetteville. Your not allowed to say bad things about. Everything is always peachy-keen here. The people are alwyas perfect. And Peachtree City is a country club paradise.
