A third-world countryMARIETTA — The entrance to Marietta for drivers headed north on Powder Springs Street to the Square is not an attractive one. described the intersection of Powder Springs and City Councilman Grif ChalfantSandtown Road as looking “like a Third-World country.”
From Sandtown Road to the newly remodeled Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel and Conference Center, Powder Springs Street is littered with boarded-up buildings, vacant storefronts and substandard housing.
A check-cashing service, pawn shop, pool hall, Family Dollar, Salvadorian eatery and Hispanic farmers market, now papered with "for lease" signs, fill the old West Side Shopping Center, where Mayor Bill Dunaway had one of his 18 drug stores in the 1970s until he sold them to Eckerd in 1989. Dunaway said at that time the strip mall was owned by Sidney Clotfelter, who lived in the well-known, attractive lake house off Powder Springs Street. A liquor store and coin laundry stand in the parking lot.
"The character and nature of that center has gone downhill for sure," Dunaway said.

America has literally crumbled about us and it is the eroneous belief in "equality" that has been the imputes for it.
