Well bless their little pecan picking hearts. The city seemed to recover quite nicely.

From the letter to the mayor of Atlanta pleading for mercy:

You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.

We don't want your Negroes, or your horses, or your lands, or any thing you have, but we do want and will have a just obedience to the laws of the United States. That we will have, and if it involved the destruction of your improvements, we cannot help it.

You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better. I repeat then that, by the original compact of government, the United States had certain rights in Georgia, which have never been relinquished and never will be; that the South began the war by seizing forts, arsenals, mints, custom-houses, etc., etc., long before Mr. Lincoln was installed, and before the South had one jot or title of provocation. I myself have seen in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi, hundreds and thousands of women and children fleeing from your armies and desperadoes, hungry and with bleeding feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, and Mississippi, we fed thousands and thousands of the families of rebel soldiers left on our hands, and whom we could not see starve. Now that war comes to you, you feel very different. You deprecate its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car-loads of soldiers and ammunition, and moulded shells and shot, to carry war into Kentucky and Tennessee, to desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people who only asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Government of their inheritance. But these comparisons are idle. I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success.

Delta Delta Delta, can I help ya, help ya, help ya?

Rodger -Roger. What's your vector Victor? :D

No Woodford at ATL.

But, if they want to use the SC wines to put out the fire, it would serve as a better use for them.

:D

Perhaps Shena's upgrade list was destroyed in the fire?

That is one of few outrageously offensive things I have read on this website...

I love that scene!!!! miss that show:)

For the record ATL calls Delta "Daddy":D:D

Which is what Delta call AX.

Guess we all know our place in the hierarchy! :D

I seem to recall that DFW calls their International Terminal D David rather than Delta for similar reasons as ATL.

In regards to the popularity of this thread, we're glad Georgia's on your mind.

If we can't name ATL after Sherman, can we at least rename it Hartsfield-Jackson Hotlanta International Airport? :D

ATL on fire thread!
 

*Update* at ATL in C and the train system is totally down

Can you at least take the moving walkways or are they shut too?

ATL on fire thread!
 

Moving sidewalks are fine. It's the trains that are having problems. The Bombardier guys are running test runs with them
