[QUOTE=Jj3000;5416452]Was Buford Grandfathered in? They have had a city school system for a very long time.[/QUOTE]Yes, it's a really old city, so the school system is 100+ years old. Same with Decatur and other cities with venerable school systems (I think 21 Georgia cities have city school systems.).
The constitution was amended in 1945, and they eliminated most of the city school systems at that time (there used to be 2000 city systems prior to 1945), but for reasons unknown to me (probably a cocktail of politics and geography) a handful remained.
The probably of Buckhead getting a city school system is zero.

O.[/QUOTE]Buckhead getting a school system really isn't a priority. At all. Everyone involved know it's not going to happen. It's not on the wish list and there aren't votes in the statehouse.
Buckhead has wanted to follow Sandy Springs' lead for more than a decade and they will follow the same route if it's the one that will get the deal done.
The interesting difference in Buckhead incorporating and Sandy Springs incorporating is that Buckhead has been within the jurisdiction of Atlanta since Mayor Hartsfield. Atlanta had tried, unsuccessfully, to annex Sandy Springs prior. Sandy Spring's incorporation was sought in part to prevent it from being annexed by Atlanta. So I think this makes Buckhead have a bit more of an uphill fight than Sandy Springs. But, the ammunition in political fights is money and Buckhead should have ammo.
Atlanta annexed Buckhead for the money. Similar to South Fulton annexing part of the FIB corridor which was to get 9 M in tax revenue. So losing Buckhead will cost Atlanta money, money that has to be found elsewhere if Buckhead gets its way. Maybe the legislature will let Atlanta legalize weed. Reduce policing, generate revenue.
If I recall Atlanta annexed the Charlie Brown Airport area and the area that has the new UPS facility as part of South Fulton picking up the FIB corridor. One could foresee CB Airport possible now becoming a second sight for commercial air traffic creating the second airport that gets bantered around every few years. Either way, I think this will be the final nail in the coffin for SW drives on FIB.
I guess that Buckhead will have to secede from Atlanta. But, southern secessions do not have a good track record.

Atlanta annexed Buckhead for the money. [/QUOTE]The city of Atlanta annexing Buckhead in 1952 is an interesting story. It seems Atlanta initially annexed the all white at that time Buckhead so whites would have a stronger majority in deciding city policy via the ballot box. Claims of the racial injustice behind annexing Buckhead were made. Now seventy years later we'll hear the same claims of the racial injustice behind Buckhead's secession.
No girls busted. All males for pandering and soliciting. New Marshall knows what he's doing.
'More than one dozen arrested in undercover sting, targeting prostitution in South Fulton.'
"The Fulton Industrial corridor has been plagued with prostitution and illicit activity for decades. The South Fulton Police Department is committed to changing this culture and providing the businesses and residents with a thriving industrial community, this detail is the first of many to help achieve this goal", said Police Chief Keith Meadows.

Mucho respect to bobby 79 for still trying to get that ween wet. I hope not to live to 79 but if I do I hope I still will want some strange. Set up a gofund me page fo dis playa.
[BLUE]I moved all the stupidity to the Rants and Raves thread. You can talk about the stories here but like grownups. Here's a tip for you, if you're heavily involved in the partisan bullshit on Rants and Raves you probably won't be able to post here without injecting that stupidity. You guys on both sides of that constantly need to make every single discussion on any topic a red/blue issue.

[QUOTE=GaryRidgeway;5420731][URL]https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/club-onyx-shooting-injures-men-cheshire-bridge-road[/URL][/QUOTE]Good catch Gary. Sounds like another good reason to finish up your club visits prior to 3:30 AM. We don't hear much about Onyx on the board. Seems they can charge from 40-100 to enter and up to 100 just to park depending on the night. I enjoy spending money but would prefer not to give it away. If they have a decent day shift I would give it a try but I have not seen anything recent on the board.
