Some are, unfortunately, not optimistic; last year alone, the industry lost 35,000 jobs in Georgia. On the positive side: the rain gods have been good to us so far this year.

But IMHO this is just the current symptom (added to many others) of a metro area bereft of adult supervision. More specifically, there's little to no responsible planning in and around the city of Atlanta. Moreover, our idiout republican governor has seen fit to seal the the city's doom by supporting the seccession of afflulent northern suburbs. Some other more enlightned cities/states (e.g.,jacksonville, Inadianapolis and An Antonio) have had the foresight to incorporate the entire metro area into a common government structure. Not only od they have the opportunity to address their regional issues but the imperative. Anyway, Garth, please take a look at the new HiP forum in Ning http://healthoverip.ning.com/forum I suppose that I agree.
