Kevin Heights Neighborhood Voice Its Concerns To Atlanta

by C. Henry Adams

In a rather quiet neighborhood tucked between I-20 and I-285 of Atlanta Georgia; neighbors met with Ceasar Mitchell, Esq., President of the Atlanta City Council. This meeting was not your typical Robert's Rules of Order sit down, instead, it was a 'Come walk with me and let us share with you some things.'

It was brought forth by James Tyler, President of Kevin Heights Neighborhood Association; Theo Pace, Chairman of NPU-I; and the President of the Atlanta City Council, Attorney Ceasar Mitchell.

Kevin Heights Neighborhood presented  a 23 page document or PDF regarding its concerns to the City of Atlanta Government.  This well thought out report was requesting a used tired clean up to avoid the Zika Virus and the development of sidewalks from the I-20 Linkwood Road Bridge to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. It also requested repairing infrastructure that is well over 50 years old.

Attorney Mitchell with a Team of Atlanta City Government Officials, walked the entire three street boundary listening intently while greeting Neighbors from 80 years of age to barely braking the age of 1.

This historic event culminates with a community that is determine to keep America Great in Atlanta, Georgia.

Recently, it was discovered and later confirmed that Kevin Heights Neighborhood has disappeared off the City of Atlanta Geospatial Map. Likely, as a result of only one quadrant of the Collier Heights Community being deem Historical.

You see, under the late Mayor William Berry Hartsfield; the Collier Heights Community originally consist of (4) four quadrants. 

In 1958, the development of Kevin Heights Neighborhood began; it is the home of an Honorary Tuskegee Airman and the former home of a Montford Point US Marine who received the US Congressional Gold Medal Posthumously, to say the very least.

Fore, many distinguish Americans have evolved from this particular area known as an outer part of Adamsville, Georgia or the Lickskillet Settlement.

Quite simply, thank you City of Atlanta for visiting our modern day tribe and we eagerly await your response to our request for actions.

Ok, these are my thoughts.  What might say you?

Twitter 140-Character Limit About to Change

By Kurt Wagner
Re / Code

January 5, 2016, 8:47 AM PST

Longer tweets are coming soon to Twitter.

Twitter is building a new feature that will allow users to tweet things longer than the traditional 140-character limit, and the company is targeting a launch date toward the end of Q1, according to multiple sources familiar with the company’s plans. Twitter is currently considering a 10,000 character limit, according to these sources. That’s the same character limit the company uses for its Direct Messages product, so it isn’t a complete surprise.

There is no official launch date set in stone, these sources say. It’s also possible the character limit could fluctuate before it rolls out the final product, which people inside Twitter refer to as “Beyond 140.” Re/code first reported that Twitter was building a product like this back in September. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment.

City of Atlanta, What Is I1?

by C. Henry Adams


While growing up in the western portion of the City of Atlanta during the 1970's and 1980's;  I was always told that in order to go somewhere in life, one should know from whence they came...

I can hear or should I say imagine someone out there in the World saying,  "Say what? What are you saying, C. Henry!?  I know where I come from, your comment does not make any sense. Please expound?"

OK, basically this cliche or words of wisdom in the simplest format, identifies the fact that an individual should know, be aware of and understand their own history.  In my professional opinion, regarding the background of the place or places to which you developed into an adult, you should also apply these words of wisdom when reflecting on the study of past events.

That being said, I grew up in the Community of Collier Heights; located in Atlanta, Georgia USA and in the Neighborhood that I've often described as a 'Modern Day Tribe' called, Kevin Heights Neighborhood.

In or around 1961 before I was born, the City of Atlanta Government (City of Atlanta Department of Planning) issued a booklet which outline and describe Collier Heights the Community.

At this particular time, William B. Hartsfield was the Mayor.

Americans of African descent were thriving and growing in the City of Atlanta.   The Community of Collier Heights was there before Interstate 20 and Interstate 285 fully developed.  In fact, according to the 1961 booklet mentioned above;  the Interstates actually divided the Collier Heights Community into (4) four quadrants. Its economic status consist of Wealthy, Middle-Class and Low-Income Citizens mostly of African American Descent located on the western portion of the City of Atlanta.

On May 15th 2009, the US National Register of Historical Places only identified one (1) quadrant of 4 as the Historical Collier Heights.   Some would guess because of the King Family and other wealthy families who were influential while living in that particular area.

The City of Atlanta is mostly located in Fulton County, Georgia.

In 1960, according to the US Census, there were 556,326 people living in Fulton County, Georgia.

By 1990, the number of people living in Fulton County, Georgia increased to 648,951.

Also in 1990, the number of people increased dwelling in surrounding Cobb County, Georgia (447,745), Douglas County (71,120), Clayton County (182,052), Dekalb County (545,837), Gwinnett County (352,910) and Henry County (58,741).

However, by 2014, it was estimated that 996,319 people lived in Fulton County, Georgia.

In 2014, it was estimated that 730,981 people lived in Cobb County, Georgia.

In 2014, it was estimated that 138,776 people lived in Douglas County, Georgia.

In 2014, it was estimated that 267,542 people lived in Clayton County, Georgia.

In 2014, it was estimated that 722,161 people lived in Dekalb County, Georgia.

In 2014, it was estimated that 877,922 people lived in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

In 2014, it was estimated that 213,869 people lived in Henry County, Georgia.

The growth of the City of Atlanta is very prevalent.  So much to the degree, bottle-necking on the major roads to which are technically no longer free is very obvious.

What was once Collier Heights Community Quadrant 2 ( I1 as seen in Image 2* below. ) near the intersection of I-20 and I-285 to the west of the City of Atlanta; has somehow lost its Neighborhood Names on the City of Atlanta Maps here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zMnOB0CuuBMEI1aTdRZHFieFk/view?usp=sharing

Therefore, we respectfully ask; City of Atlanta, what is I1?

Well, these are my thoughts.  What might you say?  Thanks for reading my commentary.  We greatly appreciate you.

Taking vitamin D may benefit people with multiple sclerosis

Medical Xpress

Taking a high dose of vitamin D3 is safe for people with multiple sclerosis and may help regulate the body's hyperactive immune response, according to a pilot study published by Johns Hopkins physicians in the Dec. 30 online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

"These results are exciting, as vitamin D has the potential to be an inexpensive, safe and convenient treatment for people with MS," says study author Peter Calabresi, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center and professor neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "More research is needed to confirm these findings with larger groups of people and to help us understand the mechanisms for these effects, but the results are promising."
