Dunwoody Street Paving Activity Hits Record Levels

 The City of Dunwoody proactively spent its summer paving neighborhood streets and building sidewalks at a record pace.  From June to mid-August, city crews paved and resurfaced more than 19 lane miles of neighborhood streets and city roads and constructed 4,000 feet of city sidewalks, completing all of the paving prior to the start of the school year in DeKalb County.

    Smoke-signals are loud-mouthed compared with us:

    Maneuverings to find out name and school,
    Subtle discrimination by addresses
    With hardly an exception to the rule...

    Is there life before death?
    That's chalked up in Ballymurphy.
    Competence with pain,
    Coherent miseries,
    a bite and sup,
    We hug our little destiny again.

    - Seamus Heaney

    Ike was like so many people we see often - At the grocery, dry cleaners, and in his case, Regions Bank on Mt. Vernon. Ike was professional, polite, and genuinely friendly; a pleasure to chat with as one did their bank transactions.

    Ike graduated University of Southern Mississippi, coming up from Mobile to make his way in Atlanta. I recall his first days at Regions.

    He leaves behind family, friends, co-workers, all puzzled and deeply saddened.

    Turns out he was killed on the same date and hour I was conducting Charter Commission, less than 500 yards away. I cannot shake this event from my mind.

    Folks, take nothing for granted, hug those you love tightly, and be charitable toward those that may not see things the same way as you do - We are only here for a brief moment before we ALL go.

    You deserved so much more, Ike.
