BRACK: Never thought about visiting Casablanca in distant Morocco
JULY 10, 2018 | Yes, travel of any kind, either international or to visit the Varsity, is something that I enjoy. But somehow, I had never thought I might be interested in the city of Casablanca, in darkest Africa.
Yes, we’ve enjoyed that movie, one of the best ever, a propaganda piece released in 1942 before the United State entered World War II on African soil. And yes, Casablanca the city sounds exotic, but it also reeks of sand and a third-world underbelly that doesn’t have a deep appeal.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
Continuing objectives
Gwinnett Forum publisher Elliott Brack suggests that Gwinnett County needs a long-range list of continuing objectives for improving the county. His list:
- Move statewide non-partisan judge and school board elections to the General Election.
- Adoption of the 2023 Transit Plan for Gwinnett.
- More creative efforts to support the arts in Gwinnett.
- Advancement and expansion of city historical societies.
- Require establishments that serve alcoholic beverages to halt sales of such products at 1 a.m., and close by 2 a.m.
- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- 21st century salary for the Gwinnett County Commission members.
- Remove chewing gum on sidewalks at entrances of post offices and other governmental buildings.
- Eliminate single-use plastic packaging and straws in Gwinnett and require instead the use of paper products.
- Condos instead of apartments for Gwinnett.
