    I read in a book called Divided Highways that Interstates originally were not supposed to go through cities. They were supposed to go outside the cities.

    Atlanta needs to rename their airport and grady hospital.

    Not only that, a description of "South of 20" was slapped on those who lived south of the new highway. Businesses and developers were told to not invest anywhere south of I-20.
