HA I love it! I can wait to hear the follow ups to this meeting! I for one would love to see this passed!! My grandmother, God Rest her soul, threatened 15 years or so ago when this first started wearing them like this,my brother and male cousins who “tried” to dress like this for a minute, that she would begin to wear her pants down like that out in public.

It’s sad that you can’t even rent a house out anymore without people making meth in the garage. Come on you have kids in the freaking house, and meth being cooked in the garage! What kind of parent are you! This is an embarrassment to our town!

I recently read our unemployment rate is 8.5%, largest in South Georgia, if not the entire state. What is our city and county leaders doing to create new jobs for the citizens?
This post isn’t meant to be negative, but clearly inquisitive. Are we proactive in recruitment of industrial and manufacturing companies to take a look at the industrial park vacancies? Are we redirecting spending of tax dollars from projects that can wait so that our full attention is on this very important issue?

Bainbridge has a big problem with people taking groceries carts home, it looks pertty bad to when i go to the store and i don’t have a cart to shop with because they are all in the street and its bad when i see kids riding and playing in the carts and getting hurt when the carts tip over. Someone is going to get sued if a child gets hurt badly.

It is amazing the lengths that the elected officials of Bainbridge will go to keep the status quo. Constantly impairing any progress at a time when businesses are closing down and the local economy is struggling as much or more as the national economy. I understand that government plays a role in keeping the citizens of this community safe, but six months???
Doctoral thesis are researched and written in less time. And those other counties competing for industry in this area, by gosh we’ll show them the Bainbridge way of doing things! Take those lousy jobs and taxes! Decatur County is already more restrictive than surrounding counties, let’s restrict some more! The future’s so bright we’ve got to wear shades!

If there were ballots that were due by Friday how could such a close race of coroner be called on Thursday? I appreciate all of the volunteers and workers at the polls. I am just wondering after all the years of national elections and four years in between each one, how the system can still be so flawed. There is four years in between to tweak and there has been many years to solve problems that is still going on. How legitimate are the elections….really?

I hope the football team and coaches are proud of the game they played last night! I think they played a well-fought game. They ran, caught and passed the ball. They held TC back and would not let them advance. They were great! The ref’s calls are another matter. I don’t even want to get into that.

Pineview Cemetery has been lovingly cleaned. The NAACP Youth Council under the leadership of Charlotte Howard, and in conjunction with Keep Decatur County Beautiful, is mostly responsible, although other groups have offered help - Bainbridge College LPN Club under the leadership of MaryEllen Chancey and Re. Bivins and guys.

Ive noticed the wooden fishing pier at the park has been closed for some time.I thought it was closed in fear of flooding during our last big storm.I recently contacted the city because I used to fish from it on occasions.The kind lady at leisure services who took my call did not even know it was closed off!

We’ve discussed this one before.Last being said repairs were to be made a while back.I noticed barriers waiting beside the road to be put up(detour sign and all) and said hurray figuring it would not be too long now.Those barriers have since been removed and I have not heard one word why the work was not started.Thought maybe some of you might have heard something.I don’t mind slowing down.Its become second nature now.It still takes a toll on my vehicle and am rather tired of it.

Way to go Mandi O’Mara and the BHS cross country team. As of today both the boys and the girls are the region’s #1 team (like we didn’t consider them #1 anyway). Please pray for them as they make their way to the state championships next weekend in Atlanta. We are so proud of each and everyone of you. GO CATS!
