BRACK: Tidbits of summer, including no hat, no shorts, no service

BRACK: Tidbits of summer, including no hat, no shorts, no service

By Elliott Brack |  Summer has definitely arrived well in advance of its normal start for Gwinnett, June 21, giving us a full three more weeks of hot weather here at beginning of summer. (I like hot weather; Hurrah!)

Today let’s salute people years ago who approved planting trees in the parking lot of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. By having the foresight to plant shade trees, now maturing, between the rows in the parking lot, we now enjoy their summer shade, and it just makes the area a whole lot nicer.

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Spend time at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and you get to see a continuing distinctive display of people walking by, decked out in all kinds of outfits for their travel. America’s clothing today is a far cry from the once common more formal apparel for airline travel. You see few people “dressed up.”

BRACK: Bad weather forecasts mean millions lost in economic impact

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Well, the Atlanta weatherpeople got it wrong again last weekend. Don’t know how many times this makes it. If threatening weather is anticipated, all us listeners really want to know. We listen avidly to the radio and television. And we have learned to take decisive action. Even our governor has learned this, after a real jam-up last year.
