[ale] Off topic - And now, Arizona

[Larry Johnson]

No.  I'm thinking of the actual proposal Oxendine has on the table to
connect GA 400 with I-675 by obliterating Morningside, Virginia Highlands,
Inman Park, and East Atlanta.  Oxendine actually took a bit of heat for it
early in the campaign, but basically stated that he loved East Atlanta, but
we all had to make sacrifices for the greater good (as in destroying some of
the best neighborhoods in Metro Atlanta).
