So there he was, strolling down Peeler Road.  The man in the Yellow Suit had a fancy strut, unlike most others in this town.  His walk was more suitable for the likes of Buckhead or even Decatur, but not TreeGap Dunwoody.  He whistled a familiar tune as he walked.The Man in the Yellow Suit was looking for a young girl to get home from Dunwoody Elementary School. Her name?  Winnie Foster. She lived in the Big House in Lakeview Oaks, a small influential community in Treegap Dunwoody.  Winnie knew a secret, and the Man in the Yellow Suit wanted that secret!Winnie met an eccentric family living here in Treegap Dunwoody.  The family was old school type.  The ki

Michael Thurmond ran for US Senate a few years ago.  He lost to Johnny Isakson.  Below is a speech Thurmond delivered down at the Capitol.  In an effort to save Superintendent Thurmond some time and money, we have edited the speech for him.  He should deliver this speech this Monday morning from the Capitol, with Governor Deal, the DeKalb Delegation, and John My Other Government Supplemented Vehicle is a Barge..(The original text of his speech is HERE) Comments in RED were added to replace strike-thru original textAt its core, Washington  the DeKalb School System is broken. There is a desperate need for fundamental change in the way the people’s bu

The old saying goes, "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen".DeKalb School Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson is no longer DeKalb Superintendent and is on the next Greyhound back to Ohio.  She will leave behind her tax-payer SUV, probably leaving the gas tank on Empty. No matter the financial payout for Atkinson, it is still cheaper than years of legal fees. No need to pile on here, but it is worth noting her former school district in Ohio is in a mess.  Like her or not, Atkinson was not ready for Prime-Time in DeKalb.  Very few people are really qualified to handle a job like DeKalb Superintendent.  I think the DeKalb Superintendent job is the toughest job in G

undated DeKalb Delegation photoFor those of you not getting your fill of exciting news from the DeKalb School System, we bring you more.The AJC and other local media just love DeKalb.  It's what they call a target-rich environment - meaning never a day without 'news'.  And we have no shortage of people wanting to be part of this 'news'.First up to the DeKalb microphone is not other than Michael Thurmond.  See here for an AJC piece. Michael Thurmond was crushed by Johnny Isakson in the 2010 Georgia Senate race, garnishing less than 40% of the vote.  Currently it seems Mr. Thurmond is working at a local law firm.  According to his bio on the firm's site he is an accom

State School Superintendent John Barge brought his "Georgia Education is Great" dog and pony show to Peachtree Conversion Charter Middle School today.  Barge was the guest speaker at the Dunwoody Chamblee Parents' Council (DCPC).  The DCPC is a group of responsible parents dedicated to the local public schools.  Their hearts are in the right place.  They have bark, but no bite.  My mixing with the DCPC goes back to the fun days of redistricting.  I saw lots of familiar faces today.  Love Ya! It's been months since I attended a DCPC meeting.  The last one was probably April 2012 when SuperOUTendent  Cheryl Atkinson was the speaker.Back to the Barg

So what happens when a truck weighing approximately 60,000 pounds allegedly takes a corner too fast?  It flips over and traffic in Dunwoody becomes a nightmare.  Thus was the case last night (Jan 31, 2013).The truck tipped over conveniently during rush hour, in front of a Sandy Springs fire station.  I am not sure of the condition of the driver (he is alive, I know that much), but no other vehicles were involved.The Sandy Springs police took quick action.  They had at least three officers working traffic control.  First they closed Spalding northeast bound from Pitts Rd to Roberts, making all drivers turn left onto Pitts Rd and cross over GA 400 to Sandy Springs.&nb
