Presenting Dr. Seuss’ classic tale…in theatres Friday, March 2.

In FY2011, the state collected some $13.5 million in fines for violations and fees for legal disposal of hazardous and regular garbage. In the same year, [...]
Inmate “recreation” ended decades ago at the Atlanta Prison Farm. Now, behind a ring of misleading trash piles lies a beautifully abandoned 400-acre tree, pond, stream and meadow wonderland.
The whole, whole south Atlanta property might have once been 10 times bigger, suggested Scott Petersen on a clear Sunday morning, as he started a tour [...]
Sez The Telegraph:
