Who makes the decision on what name a hwy, street, etc... is going to be?
Frankly, I'm so tired of seeing MLK Drive, Street, Avenue or whatever everywhere I go these days. I'm not disrespecting the man, he was a great leader but there were alot of other great leaders too. Let's show them some love (in every city) why don't we?
why isn't it going to be named for someone who actualy DID something for lamar county.name it JOE BUICE parkway-- name it for someone who has shown some leadership in the community
all mlk did was organize the blacks into a voting power just wait for the first mexican that organizes the hispanic voters you will see a power then folks like this country has never seen,the white people of the country better start looking for someplace to go
let's name the road jesus-dane-tyrone-bishop expressway
Why not name it the Bobby Burnett Bypass, after all, from what I understand, he's given the most credit for making it happen.
Is there going to be a Cynthia McKinney Exit on the by pass? After all while we are naming streets name them for someone who did nothing for Lamar County
Lamar Lee By-Pass
They're saying that the new sheriff department will be located on the Cynthia McKinney Exit because of her fondness for law enforcement.
Hey! Naming it "MLK bypass" is racist! Its the white man tryin to trick the black folk. "MLK bypass" means to bypass everything that MLK did. I can see through them white lies.
Ni**a Day Bypass or Kill Whitey Road or Cracker Highway or Honkey Lee or Washington
Since it's going to be in the city name it after Kenny Roberts.
why not name it after a local leader that has served our community. i am a black man and think dr. king did great things for all man kind. but naming everthing after him is a disservice to what he was all about. even he would like to see it named for a local leader in our community. how about curtis jones or allen easton or annie may harris or dr harris warren bush. you see what i'm gettin at.
I agree, we should name it after people in our community that made it the place it is today. Lets name it after Major Bush, John Brown. How a bout Scram Mangram Parkway. WHHHAAAAAT?
How bout not naming it after anyone. That way we can't offend anyone.
Name it after everyone in Lamar County.
1. Whine Road
2. Moan Avenue
3. Complain Drive
4. Stupid Street
Name it after our leadership.
1. Liars Way
2. Dumbass By Pass
3. Tax-em to death Loop
4. Backdoor Circle
Now that we have agreed to give the Communist Chinese 50 million dollars plus grant money to create about 250 lower paying jobs at best, promised them no taxes, allowed them to bring nearly finished goods into this country for final assembly to avoid taxes, the Bush administration not done a damn thing about them undervaluing their currency, and accepted the fact they are even ruining our food and beef industry when they can't feed their own children I think we should name the highway the Chairman Mao Won highway.
i agree with u 1:09 he aint't done nothin for this county but cause trouble and do everythin he can to get his way and spend our hard earned tax money on all kinds of crap.
i agree SHERIFF BUICE PARKWAY at least he has run the sheriffs office as a profesional operation instead of like a good olboy drunk shack like before hes trying to get lamar county out of the 50s & 60s mentality and bring it into the 2000's
A lot of hurting people in Lamar County. So much anger and defeatism. So much negativity. Most of you should just go ahead and move away. Do yourself and every body else a favor. There is probably a cave somewhere where the world won't intrude on your miserable lives. Change is inevitable. Accept it or not, doesn't matter. It's going to happen. Racist attitudes, hatred, sarcasm, and even petty quarrels only make life harder to bear. Life isn't long enough to feel the way some of you feel. Grudges only hurt you, and make others not want to be near you. Life can be good if you want it to be.
People are always negative when they are in a decling society.
Perhaps it's time to get back to what made America great. Honesty (good bye Gene Hardwick), Integrity (good bye Judge Henry), and Wisdom (good bye George Bush).
Then the negativity will go away.

You are a pile of crap.
The war IS GOING GOOD right now but you probably don't believe it.
Who is the wisdom king (probably queen) in your mind. The answer to all your kinds problems is getting rid of GW but that's what people say when they are too f#ckin dumb to give a real answer. It would have been a good thing if people like you were on that bridge in Minn. along with you Muslim scum bag friends.
Go to another country if you want to get gangbanged by socialists and Islamic cowards.
I am embracing hate to try and save the future of this country and what little bit of religious freedom we have left in the world.
HURRY UP REVOLUTION!!!!
I hope to see people like you on the streets when it happens- the weak will be wasted- the new natural selection.
Why dont they name it Barnesville Bypass, and leave names off it.
If there is a great desire for a street named for Martin Luther King, why not name Mill street for him. His constituents are there, and they could be proud of their street.
Insane DeVane 4 Lane
Shrek Trek?
do we have to pay any royalties for using his name? as i understand it, the whole family and the king center is B R O K E !
BTW, I would vote for Nathan Bedford Forrest Bypass. He was a helluva guy!
POWP
12:22: We will pray for you. Obviously you are a very unhappy person with a lot of hate in you. I pray that God gives you wisdom to express yourself without having to resort to vulgarity. Jesus said "The meek shall inherit the earth." Are you wiser than God?

Take a chill pill. Your not helping your cause when you sound like a blooming psycho. By the way when you writing Eric Rudolf in jail, tell him Blue said hey.
Please give me a break! I too am so tired of all the streets and roads being named after MLK he is dead and gone and it is a tribute to him to name streets after him but he is not and never will be all that, people should not honor him by repeating mistake after mistake after him. There are a lot of people that we should honor and they aint all black. But to name it after Bobby Burnette would also be a mistake. He held Barnesville back for a lot of years. Look at all the construction going on in Barnesville since he has been out of the loop.
Benny Benny Yonk Yonk Way
How about Baby Buckner/Little Man Akin walkway?
One leg shrek alley.
Troll road(dispatcher).
county dispatcher that is
Wow! Benny Benny Yonk Yonk. Man, I haven't heard that name in a long time. We had some other characters too.
Remember Lady Loody?
Who else?
Only Barnesville people will no what I'm talking about.
International Redneck:
That's because only Barnesville people will spell "know" as used to mean to understand something "no".
Duhhhh......
how bout we give the emergency dispatch center to the city and call it WHINE-ONE-ONE? they cry like a bunch of lil bitches when they dont get their way
For sheriff....
We could get the sheriff back on budget in just a few weeks if we did like match.com and made a LCSO Snatch.com.
Think about it. None of them would be whining about being bored or wanting a raise then!

Anon 7:07 PM, or should I say Miss Green. huh? what do you mean?
backwoods barnesville blvd
Hell, lets just name our country Martin Luther King States of America,land of the free gifts,home of the spineless,where God is not welcome anymore.
Josey - if the liberals have their way - what you wrote might not be to far from reality.
Every since the nation lowered the standards to accommodate ignorance, we have been going down hill.
Why should this road be named for anyone? All that will do is create alot of indifference from both sides of the street. Why not just call it Bypass and be done with it.
Why not name it after the black man named John Calhoun. He was kidnapped and lynched/murdered in Barnesville on May 25, 1918.
What about "We is O-pressed Shawt cut"...
Who named this road and why did they name it that?
I feel there should be a referendum to name the road. The three most requested names, and write in. 51% gets to be the winner. Other wise it is called bypass.
Why don't we just call it "ROAD"?
Klan Drive
We won't name it John Calhoun because that is old news. WHY CAN'T BLACK PEOPLE LIVE IN THE PRESENT! I am a descendant of many cultures and walks of life just like nearly ALL WHITE PEOPLE. One of those heritages is Native American and I don't want people to name streets RED SKIN AVENUE to please me for past deeds. Grow up black people- and for the sake of America get a job or get on birth control.

if you dont want to name it after the greatest ga leader (mlk) we could accept the second best (jimmy carter)...and everyone will be happy...you rednecks have no problem with ronald reagan parkway...and he was even from ga.,,but you dont want a black honored....it just reminds you that not all great people are white with red necks
Why don't you honor MLK by cleaning the filth out of your society. I bet MLK would be ashamed to walk through black neighborhoods and see that he might as well died for nothing. The black race has become a joke with nothing to show for itself except high birth rates for single black mothers and staggering homicide statistics for young black males. There are black men and women who shape the world into a better place but they are shadowed by the senseless acts of the VAST majority.
To put this in perspective-
Did you know that Skinheads are made up of non-racist groups along with the racists, probably not, this is the shadow that it allows itself to cast and no one can change this but yourselves.
crazy red road? or better yet, goat man hwy?
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Why name it after any one of these people why not name it blueberry Lane, or rosedale drive or maybe Twinkle Toes bypass. We don't have to drive mlk in the ground he is already there. White people with rednecks are alot better than all these blacks with their asses hanging out of their pants. or all of these whose my baby daddy's black women.
Barnesville.......I love it.
call it barnesville blues parkway for the vets
And to 9.28 you got bet,miss black america,negro collage fund,black history month,naacp,affirmative action,mlk day,etc.etc.How much more of this hores sh t do you expect us to have shoved down our throat.
I knew your statement was F*cked when you said Jimmy Carter and great in the same sentence- hell the same damn day.
This is why Democraps are still around, they feed off stupid and you have a plethora of it.
Rev.
Why everything got to end up black and white? Get over that bulls### get a damn life. The way the world going you going to need each other in the end, stupid people the old days gone, you better learn to respect each other the one you hating so much might be the one that gives you a helping hand one day. You hate blacks so but when your parents get old and you don't have time for them you be looking for a black person to take care of them, cause you know they will be good to them and give them good care.
oh my!
Dang that comment hit home.Hate blacks but good enough to keep mom and dad while we get drunk with our buddies. To all the blacks of Barnesville I'm Sorry.
