Atlanta Beltline Basics include Community Activities Part Three

Join ODAT Realty as we continue our series about the Atlanta BeltLine. The Beltline defines itself as "a 22-mile loop of historic railroad that encircles downtown and midtown Atlanta, with a radius of two-to-four miles from Atlanta's center. Over 100,000 people live within half a mile of the Atlanta BeltLine, which connects 45 of the city's in-town neighborhoods."

The Atlanta Beltline project has two separate but equal (no, this is not the intro to LAW and ORDER) components. The Beltline public component is the Atlanta Beltline Partnership whose mission is to reach out to the greater Atlanta community to raise awareness of the Beltline and raise contributions of money and of community support. The private component is the Atlanta Beltline, Inc. whose mission is to plan, implement and build the Beltline.

The Atlanta Beltline is a finalist in the Southwest Airlines LUV Grant competition. Vote once a day to assure that the Atlanta Beltline wins the $25,000 grant.Not only would winning the money be a great achievement but the national recognition for winning would give the Atlanta Beltline further publicity.

The competition, which began on March 8th ends on March 18th, 2012. Vote and support the Atlanta Beltline for Atlanta's future!

Have a happy day -

iPad3 the POSTER CHILD OF THE POST PC WORLD says Tim Cook from Apple iPad3 BORN March 16, 2012

So what is it that makes us pay for a new toy device every so often - or in Apple's case every so frequently? In the case of Apple's "Poster Child of the PC World" - the iPad3 - it is the long list of amazing features. To name only two aspects of the "Poster Child of the PC World" - the new iPad3 has a retinal display screen. The images are very crisp. The screen is 2048 x 1536 - about 1,000,000 more pixels than an HD TV. And to take those videos - the 5 megapixel iSight camera. Get ready for the BIRTHDAY of the "Poster Child of the PC World" on March 16, 2012. Check out the video from MASHABLE - with news of more features.

Have a happy day -
