Instead of reading my blog today, read Cathy's. Permanent link to this entry 2007May14 Natural air pollution in Valdosta Our friend Susan Davis sent this picture, taken looking south on Patterson Street in Valdosta, Georgia, around 10 a.m. on Saturday (May 12). This would be a famili...
I think the warning is even more appropriate today. Permanent link to this entry The ruins of WMGA A while back I wrote about the sad end of radio station WMGA, Moultrie, Georgia. Now, architect Richard Sasser has sent me a few pictures of the ruins (as of May 2005; there's ...
