When the economy is lousy you should market more, not less.

Thank goodness this abysmal project is history. What a phenomenal waste of money. What an embarrassment. What a fiasco.

Well, truth be known. the real BrandAtlanta slogan was “We’re Open.” Some muckety-muck squelched that and replaced it with “Every day is an Opening Day.” Brilliance.

Now, if it’s a festival you want, please join us for the 38th Annual Inman Park Festival April 24-26th.

I’ve only lived here three years, but I don’t remember any festivals. Must be before my time.

Every Day is an Opening Day… except after 8pm, because there’s nothing to do in Atlanta because all of the bars and clubs have been shut down by the city’s liquor laws… oh… and all of those awesome festivals we used to have? Just about bankrupt because the city has let Piedmont Conservancy walk all over them…

So don’t go blaming just the economy for people not wanting to visit Atlanta…. blame Shirley and her cronies. I bet the FBI is going to find some interesting things in her records someday…

Mothballed due to lousy economy?

ha.

Now was just a time they could sweep it under the carpet with an excuse besides incompetence.

Early last year (pre-meltdown) I asked a member of city council about the future of Brand Atlanta– They laughed.
