Couple of things

- The Liberal Lion passes on. Well done good sir.

- Arguably, the Athens YWCO site is more feasible, but the fact that it would, you know, cost money ought to rule it out. If that site is purchased, then the proposed tennis center would have to return to the list of voter-approved SPLOST projects for its next round as there currently is only enough funds to cover either the acquistion of property or the construction of the facility, not both. As a result, I say go for the Southeast Clarke Park.

- Also, that said, despite Blake's best attempts to provide some measure of education to how the SPLOST project works, the commenters at the Athens Banner-Herald are absolutely convinced there's a way this thing can be nixed ... which, of course, it can't.

- Creative Loafing is going corporate thanks to its acquistion by Atalaya Capital Management in yesterday's auction. The alternative newspaper chain, which has six papers across the country, has been in bankruptcy for roughly a year. The Atlanta Creative Loafing won't move as had scheduled, and, as of now, no layoffs are expected.
