What’s best time for lights out at Duwnoody park?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A new skate park about to open in Dunwoody has neighbors worried about lights and noise. The new Brook Run Skate Park will include stadium-type lights and loud speakers.
Adding to the concern of residents is the hours of operation: The park will be open until 10:30 p.m., seven days a week during spring and summer. It will close at 10 p.m. on weekdays during winter and fall; 10:30 on weekends.
“The music and lights until 10:30? I think it’s ridiculous,” said Martha Potts, who lives with her daughter across the street from the park.
What do you think? Is that an appropriate time for lights out? If you were making the rules for parks near you, what time would you turn them off?

Does your car use a full-service gas station?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In this self-service, swipe your card and go world, there are still some of us who take our cars to full-service gas stations. Some go there to get their cars worked on, but others still get the full treatment, with an attendant pumping the gas, checking the fluids and washing the windows.
We’re working on a story for an upcoming issue about full-service gas stations and want your help in checking our list. If you know a full-service station that’s not on the list, please post it below — or send an e-mail to me at mgarner@ajc.com.
