For well over ten (10) decades, Atlanta, which is currently located in Fulton County, Georgia has changed in some form or facet to improve life as we know it today. Perhaps, the development of the I-285 / I-20 West Interchange P.I. Number: 0013918 is no different.

But, as my Ancestors of the Original Collier Heights would say, regarding the developments of this land seen above in the image, " Know where you come from in order to know where you are going in life." (Learn from the past to advance forward in the future.)
How many people today, could tell you that Martin Luther King Jr Drive in what we now call Atlanta, Georgia , 300 feet from the above image of the US Federal Intersection - was once named, Gordon Road? Before it was called that particular name , it was also called ' Lick Skillet Road '. Whereas, a Civil War Battle ensued over 150 years ago near this proximity.
How many people could tell you that in 1952, the annexation of Adamsville, Cascade & Bolton occurred to further enlarge or expand Atlanta, Georgia?
How many people could tell you that Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived in Atlanta, September 1952 to gather support regarding his campaign for President of the United States and met with Mayor William Berry Hartsfield?
How many people could tell you that these particular streets ( Tribble Lane, Hermer Circle and Kevin Court) of the Kevin Heights Neighborhood to which is of African American Descent near the I-20 West Interchange, located off Linkwood Road raise the children of a Montford Point US Marine of World War 2, to which was the son of a Harlem Hell Fighter who served in the US Army during World War 1?
Better yet, his neighbors were Tuskegee Airmen of African American Descent who also raised their children there to say the very least. But, let us not stop there in learning about the Ancestors, the People, the Lands and the Environment to which holds an even deeper significance.
On Tuesday, December 13th 2022 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm EST, located at the Riverside Epic Center, 135 Riverside Parkway, Austell, Ga ( Near Six Flags over Georgia - Park off I- 20.),
please join the Georgia Department of Transportation for a (PHOH) Public Hearing Open House.
