Too bad they couldn't do this in more towns and cities instead of putting in parking lots or more houses that will not have any one in them Lt Col Charlie Brown

Lt Col Charlie Brown The city that I live by is more interested in parking lots, if it doesn't return a dollar or two to them they're not interested in it.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - That is a big problem with many cities. The tax they can get off a building or parking lot is substantially more than and unimproved lot being used for gardening.

Don't get it wrong Sgt David A. 'Cowboy' Groth, Atlanta metro is in a constant building phase of compressing the people. Spaces like this is the closest millions of people will ever see something resembling nature. Of the ITP (inside the perimeter) folks, around 3 to 5 million, 60% of them or more never venture outside of the 285 perimeter and when they do, they have to go more than 50 miles to hit a patch of woods that are not deemed a park. Cutting down tree's is a big deal. One good thing about the area is all of the municipalities around the metro area. I am sure this makes Atlanta look rural in the news when we have big storms and there are tree's killing people and property, thing is the tree's that are on the news are 100+ years old and without competition for nutrients have become very large. With the recent 6 years of around 100 inches of rain a year are toppling all over the place. Because of this situation, I am glad that this space and spaces similar to this are springing up. Most all neighborhoods around Atlanta are hosting community gardens.
