Clayton Co. Transportation Temporary Solution...

As all of you know by now, C-Tran, public transportation system for Clayton County stopped servicing its users a week or so ago. That, of course, brought a lot of complaints from all sectors, however, a new transportation service (Southside Transportation) has stepped up to the plate and assigned two 15 passenger vans to provide emergency van service, for a charge of $2 per person per trip, they will transport people from Clayton County to a MARTA Park and Ride lot on Riverdale Road.
Even though, this by no means replaces the services provided by C-Tran, it is certainly a sign of hope for all the people in need of service. For more information click here

Spring is in the Henry County air...

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love spring time in Atlanta. There are blooms everywhere, temperatures are simply perfect, sunny clear skies; today specially it has been an absolute beauty. I can see Henry County residents out riding in their cars, the ones with convertibles had the pleasure to let their tops down, others like me, just let the windows down to enjoy the fresh air.
What a joy it is to be able to appreciate good weather, friendly happy people in the streets and peace all around us. Seems as if, time just stopped, no worries, just enjoy the moment.
And how about Saturday afternoons spent at the Baseball Park, even if it's only a Little League Baseball Game, oh my, how do I miss those days when my son was playing T-Ball, then Baseball, to Traveling Competitive and High School. Every stage of his baseball years brought some joy, I used to complaint when it was too hot, but I always knew that I would miss it when those days came to an end. Now, he is playing College Baseball, however, being on the West part of the Country makes it difficult to be there and cheer him up during his games, for now, just memories of past years, in the future, who knows...Atlanta Braves, I got a prospect for you, another hometown kid that will help take you to the World Series!

Atlanta Airport Cargo is on the Rise again...

Hartsfield-Jackson's Cargo Traffic Rises Again
Airport's Cargo Volume Surges in Three Consecutive Months

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials said cargo traffic in November 2009 was 3.53 percent higher than in November 2008; December 2009 traffic was 17.89 percent higher than the previous year; and January 2010 saw an increase of 12.06 percent over January 2009.

"It's very encouraging to report three consecutive months of rising cargo traffic, especially after experiencing one of the worst global economic downturns in recent history," said Aviation General Manager Ben DeCosta. "We anticipate that 2010 will be a year of 'measured recovery' throughout the industry. We hope for a full recovery in 2012-2013." Those are definetely the kind of news that all of Atlanta's residents want to hear, and it is so encouraging to see possitive numbers to be reported, we are very fortunate to live in such a great city.

Hartsfield-Jackson's freight/express and mail also saw an increase during the months of November and December 2009 as well as January 2010.

"Hartsfield-Jackson has taken decisive steps to weather this global downturn by seeking out new markets and finding ways to expand our existing relationships," said Warren Jones, Aviation development manager.

Hartsfield-Jackson remains a resilient hub of global economic activity. More than 200 million people -- 80 percent of U.S. consumers -- are within a two-hour flight or one day of transport by truck of the Airport. Thirteen all-cargo carriers operate at Hartsfield-Jackson.

In 2009, Hartsfield-Jackson was honored as Air Cargo Week's Airport of the Year, becoming the first U.S. airport to earn the top prize among the annual World Air Cargo Awards. It was the second major honor in 2009 for Hartsfield-Jackson's cargo operation, which earlier received Air Cargo World magazine's Award of Excellence for the best North American cargo operations in its category.
