2014 Review: Changing The Game - Rel Dowdell

by C. Henry Adams

This is somewhat embarrassing to state, but it has taken me three (3) years to be able to sat down, purchase a fellow Fiskite and Classmate's Film.

Rel Dowdell is one of those Outstanding Americans of African Descendent that I have known over two decades.  I heard of his great accolades from Colleagues, but fail to review the film until recently.

First, let me state that while attending College in the Late 1980's and early 1990's, I can honestly say that it was a culture shock for me being from the South and I'm quite sure for those individuals from the North in the USA as well.

The ways of our thinking from all students of different facets of life ,  their actions and their concepts were slightly different.

I believe from viewing the Movie, "Changing the Game", Rel took experiences from College, as well as, his Culture in Philadelphia to write and Co- Produce the Film.

It is with no doubt in my mind that the intelligent aspect of the young boy reading the Charlotte's Web Book in his Elementary School at the beginning of the movie was likely from an episode in Rel's own life. 

Rel was outspoken and highly intelligent in College to say the least.

Furthermore, thinking like a Skilled Leader of Warriors when it comes to creating strategies to overcome obstacles, coupled by the 'Birds of a Feather' flock together observation , whereas, two young men fake their deaths - was in fact intriguing.

I have given you a taste of the beginning of the Movie and a piece of the ending of it.   I honestly rated the Movie via letter grades at the level of a B, whereas,  A is the highest and E is the lowest of the ratings given.

Rel and his Team obviously put a lot of work into everything regarding this film and it shows.

I hope Professor Rel Dowdell consider making other Movies in the near future.  So, what do you think?

City of Atlanta Street Cleanup in Local Districts - Grade: D+

by C. Henry Adams

First, I want to thank the Workers out in the field for the City of Atlanta - Department of Public Works. Your work is appreciated.   However, regarding the management, planning and removal of Winter Debris (Salt & Gravel) that has plague the streets for nearly a month in the 9th, 10th, and 11th District ;  I have nothing good to say at all.
Furthermore,  it is interesting to the say the less, that streets like Tribble Lane, Linkwood Road, Collier Drive , Peyton Road, Willis Mill Road and Venetian Drive to name a few; still have gravel and salt present.

Word is out that Atlanta is only addressing a 'Request List' now.   So if you see a street sweeper cleaning one street of many filthy streets within the same surrounding area, the other passages are not on the list.

I can only imagine the number of people that could get upset like I did when I heard this method of doing business.
It appears that some Elected Officials of the City of Atlanta don't really care about their Constituents until they (Constituents) start raising hell.
One way to boost the economy in an area and perhaps help lower the crime in the same location is to keep the live-work place clean.
Why are we still waiting for the City of Atlanta to take immediate action?
The grade of a D+ was given because something is being done.  So, what do you think?
