Atlanta

For those of us who lived through it, it was not only the largest but the longest ice storm in Atlanta! This was a time before technology offered meteorologists the luxury of predicting storms of this magnitude. It hit Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon with no warning. People weren't prepared for what was to come. Atlanta was brought to its knees. Nothing or no one went anywhere. Very few people had electricity. Some of us went days and even weeks without power. You couldn't reach the fire dept or police dept when transformers would blow or were knocked down by falling trees which were heavy from the weight of freezing rain and ice. They would catch cars, houses and anything in its path on fire as they fell. As nighttime descending upon us, it brought dark skies with the exception of the blue fireworks from exploding transformers. Throughout the night you could hear the sound of cracking trees then the fall of them as they sank to the ground taking everything in its path. It was a very, very long night and the days that followed were cold and unforgettable.

Most websites that have restaurant reviews will have at least some reviews of restaurants in Atlanta. Some of the best websites for this include Urban Spoon, TripAdvisor, and Yelp.

It depends on where you are flying to in Florida. It took 8-9 hours to drive from Dahlonega to Tampa. 269 mi (about 6 hours 14 mins) That is from Atlanta to the Florida State line. I would say it takes less than an hour or a little more. To fly.

Well, Barges is your answer for your question.

Description of the Flag

The flag is blue with the city seal in yellow. Before I go on, I will answer what may be the first two questions after reading the flag information. First, while there is a civic flag, I have never seen or run across documentation of the city ensign or the city pennant. Maybe the flag is meant to be at least the flag and ensign; however, it is not in the shape of a pennant. Apparently, the pennant (and ensign) were never adopted. Secondly, many may ask about Atlanta being landlocked. While the city is landlocked, the Chattahoochee River flows through and by the city so an ensign is not totally out of the question.

The flag ordinance of the City of Atlanta

Chapter 52. Flags and Seal of the City

52-101. (826) City flags.--There shall be three flags of the City of Atlanta: A civic flag, a city ensign and a pennant. The colors of each shall be yellow and blue, of the hues and tints shown on the patterns herein required to be kept of file. The form, device and arrangement of colors of each shall be as shown upon the patterns hereby adopted and directed to be placed and kept of file in the office of the Clerk of Council, exact copies of which, appropriately marked, shall be displayed in public in the City Hall.

52-102. (825) Corporate seal of the city.--The corporate seal of the City of Atlanta shall be a round seal, made of silver, 2-1/4 inches in diameter. The device thereon shall consist of an engraving of a phoenix rising from its ashes and the inscription, "Resurgens 1847-1865;" the word meaning "rising again," the first date marking the year the city's first charter was granted and the second date signifying the year of the beginning of the city's rehabilitation after its destruction by the Federal armies in 1864. The seal shall remain in the office of the Clerk of Council and shall not be affixed to any instrument except by order of the Mayor.

Berkeley Park

image located by Valentin Poposki, 23 December 2007

Berkeley Park is located in northwest Atlanta, GA, just west of Midtown and below the southern boundary of Buckhead.

The flag was designed in 2005 by Patrick Brady of Berkeley Park. The geese are a common sight in Berkeley Park as we often see and hear them flying overhead to and from their home at the City Water Reservoir. They are a symbol of the unity of our neighbors and the strength and voice we have as a group within the City of Atlanta. The flag can be seen here: http://www.berkeleypark.org/flag.asp.
