It was one of the last sections of I-75 built. Environmentalists held it up for over a decade.I’m old enough to remember when I75 ended At Barret parkway and started up again at Main Street in cartersville.
Why does that not surprise me?It was one of the last sections of I-75 built. Environmentalists held it up for over a decade.
My grandmother live in Atlanta off of Rice Street right where the Fulton County jail is located now. I was raised there until third grade and lived there every summer and school vacation from then on. I had some very close boyhood friends in that area two of which I still stay in contact with today. Anyway one of them had an older brother who move to Rome around 70-71? I would travel with my buddies family from Atlanta to Rome to visit every now and then. It was Northside Drive to 41. 41 through Marietta to Cartersville. 411 to Rome. It was an all day trip to go there visit and return. His dad was actually his grandfather for reasons I was too young to comprehend but they were good folks and I loved his mother (grandmother) very much she was always very kind to me. Sorry TMI but I mentioned them because Emory (grandpa/dad) set no land speed records in his 440 Dodge station wagons (always MOPAR big blocks). They were very much like the Vista Cruiser on That 70's Show. We would sit in the back often in the pop up reverse facing seat and make faces at the cars behind us who were usually cussing us because Emory was extremely light footed on the gas pedal. I have not thought of them in years but they will always be a part of my childhood. Emory and Francis have been gone a long time now but their memory will only go when Ole Stonewall goes. Sorry I digress.It was one of the last sections of I-75 built. Environmentalists held it up for over a decade.
