Thanks again guys: Jim, Bob J, Trey and everyone. I appreciate all the help and links you have given me. I'm sure I'll be like a chicken with his head cut off when we're driving around down there but I don't mind. As far as my past employment, mostly blue collar factory work, but I did a little retail managing for several years. I left the retail store before it folded but I stuck around the factory where I was last employed until the "boat sank". Taking a little unemployment to finish of my Associates degree and then back to the grind stone. Thanks again to everyone, the people on this sight are the best.

There are factory type jobs around here.....and you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a retail store of some kind!

There aren't any factories left in Atlanta proper..except Ford on the southside and Buick Olds Pontiac plant in Doraville.. and believe me they aren't hiring...so for sure find where you're going to work before you find a place to live..Look at my thread cuda at sema..Brent who just offered to bring me the latest PHR works at Wrigleys i think..they were hiring..Home Depot, Lowes, Sams, etc. are always looking for good help.

FYI-Ford is closing their plant. Looks like in October at this point.

Edit: no insensetivity towards GM workers, but as a developer, my mouth is watering.

amazing..that was once Ford's best plant when Mr George ran it. I was amazed to see that a black woman was running it a couple years ago.

what would you think the end use would be for that property?

[Bob Johnson]

I always said the Atlantic Steel plant at the 85/75 interchange was the best piece of real estate in this town..If I had purchased it, the EPA would never have OK'd the property for development. That was a helluva deal when it was bought. Lot of developing going on in there.

Bob,
We are thinking another Atlantic Station. You are at 85 & 285, and 400 and 75 are right next door. There is Marta there, it's a no brainer. There are some major players lining up, but we are hoping we can be the snowball that doesn't melt in hell.

i need to go see atlantic station when i hit up the aquarium. they made such a big deal about it i figure its at least worth seeing how they made it.

besides we have three apartment complexes here in athens now and they are all on the same side of town and they are all the same design. literally the same design. hell two of them are almost across the street from one another and they call them different names instead of maybe a phase 1 and 2. so heres hoping ill get to see somethign new that also looks different.

We shot the Cuda at an old Steel Mill that was shut down in Gadsden..Unbelievable amount of space and buildings there..He got everything on one side of the rail spur that came into the site. On the other was big piles of slag..The place has been shut down for 7 or 8 years but the water around there is still so polluted you wouldn't believe it. Green and slimey..big time nasty..I'm no tree hugger but this is scary to see how big companies can violate the environment. No telling what it will cost the Govt. to clean up that mess..The steel mill is bankrupt so it will fall on the govt. to clean up the mess.
