BRACK: Two scary instances when driving for take-out food

BRACK: Two scary instances when driving for take-out food

By Elliott Brack  |  Headed out last week to pick up take-out food, two incidents gave me pause. It was about 6:15 p.m. when I turned on Holcomb Bridge Road, heading west, with little traffic in this lane. However, oncoming easterly traffic was unusually heavy. By then, it was fully dark, as we were back to standard time.

BRACK: Get out of the fast lane and enjoy Georgia’s back roads

By Elliott Brack | There’s something about the back roads of Georgia that tugs at me. 

Returning from Moultrie in deep Southwest Georgia last week, we stayed off busy and always frantic Interstate 75 and enjoyed a four-lane road without much traffic most of the way. We took U.S. 19 north of Albany for about 3.5 hours until we reached Hampton and the beginning of many traffic lights. At Hampton, we cut over nine miles to I-75 at McDonough for the rest of the trip home.
