My gosh Hallie! Lucy must be having a total fit by now! Thanks for
sharing this news, even though its negative, and I'm sure glad it was
nothing like the crash a year ago that knocked out a wall and did lots
of damage internally to the building. Somebody in GA DOT or a local
agency should be looking at some kind of permanent barrier to protect
the building at that corner -- this is insane! What an unique way for
you to start your map librarianship career too...
