DEL.ICIO.USA city is born?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In north Fulton County, Johns Creek supporters chose a fitting location for their post-election celebration: an as-yet unfinished shopping center called “Johns Creek Walk.”
They partied under two big tents in the parking lot as country group Banks & Shane played “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and other standards.
Results were late arriving in the referendum on creating a new city, but that didn’t stop revelers from celebrating.
“We’re going to have to take a lot of vacation days in north Fulton because we’ve got two Independence Days, July 4 and July 18,” said Rep. Mark Burkhalter (R-Alpharetta), who led the legislative effort for today’s incorporation vote.
They even looked ahead to their next possible goal: peeling off from Fulton County entirely and creating a new county.
