Ego Road

Now The Carter Center is a good neighbor. It was not so at first. It fell in with a bad crowd–developers.

A Highway to connect with the Stone Mountain expressway was supposedly essential to the planned center, even if it caused Colony Square-style destruction of several communities for the gain of a few.  “Fool me once…”  Civil disobedience experience was called into action to save our homes and neighborhoods.

It succeeded. The highway was recalled eventually and all see the center flourishes as do the neighborhoods. Thank you RoadBusters for Little Five Points!

Song protesting the proposed Carter Expressway. When you drive by and see it end at Moreland, that is a victory for the citizens.
