I'm just surprised they already know who's going to do the work although it is one of the biggest outfits doing roadwork. They told me they got the call at 9 last night.
Yeah they were reporting pretty early that GDOT was already in contact with the original builder. Fingers crossed for no other structural damage.
Kimley-Horn? They've got a well established ongoing presence in ATL anyway. If that's who you're talking about, it's not surprising at all.
Time to focus on the important things about this fire, mostly is it going to impact Sweetwater's ability to get beer out. Merica
Any chance this shit allows our legislators to force Cobb and other counties to have marta? This shit is going to fuck up every surface street and any other highway forever. We need to have more transportation options for people commuting from the burbs.
Last night our office administrator emailed everyone telling them that part of 85 collapsed and to start planning alternate routes. One of the guys I worked with emailed back and just said: "One gigantic steel plate coming our way" I laughed.
Sucks, but when a piece of interstate falls from fire damage it's probably best to examine everything else around it.
The majority of northern suburbs have Spring Break for all schools next week. There's a great chance that people just took that, along with the obvious problem with the highway, as an excuse to take the day off.
Filming industry could get fucked b/c of this. When every hour of operation on a major show can cost a 1/4 of a million to a million dollars per hour, you don't want a show to be held up b/c they have to wait 4 extra hours for stage props, equipment, or even talent to show up.
The fire happened right next to the MARTA RSF.. and now everyone is relying on MARTA, singing its praises, and wondering why we haven't invested billions in expanding it. Hm. #staywoke
I'm worried people in power might try and divest money from transit projects to repair the bridge. Any chance that happens, or is it more likely they see the need for transit because of this?
Tell me about Scofflaw Brewery please. Ive had the Basement IPA and liked it. I think me and some friends are going to go day drink there tomorrow. Is it like any other brewery: tickets, glass, samples of beer? How much $? And most importantly is there a good patio scene to be outside in the sun?
I was making a joke that it happened next to the MARTA facility and now everyone has to rely on MARTA- suggesting that they caused the fire intentionally. I was also mimicking a segment called "Stay Woke" from a popular Sports satire podcast known as Pardon My Take presented by Barstool Sports.
Yes you can "tour" it. I believe it was $14. It sucked at first because it's a small space and they had one line that wrapped around the area waiting for beer. They opened up another line and it became tolerable.
My 35 minute commute has turned in to an hour. It's barely 3 pm and rush hour hasn't even started. Help computer
going to watch my cousin's kids for a few hours this evening in Alpharetta. where should we get food and beers afterwards? Spoiler in before Cheesecake Factory
Food was good, nothing spectacular. I had to resort to canned Emergency Drinking Beer. In other words I'm not going out of my way to go back when I can enjoy better beer at a multitude of other places.
my roommate planned it and he's not a huge craft beer person. Which sucks for situations like this, but then I don't have to worry about my fridge being raided.
Hmmm maybe its better now since its been open a bit... There a good outdoor area to hang out? Dont wanna be indoors on a sunny 75 degree day
