This video is of the US 23/441 corridor through the North Georgia Mountains. You will see the limited-access portions that provide access to the Habersham County Airport, Downtown Baldwin and Cornelia, as well as the Toccoa/Lavonia interchange (US 123 North/SR 365 North). There is also footage of US 23/441 through Tallulah Falls, Clayton, Mountain City, Rabun Gap (unincorporated) and Dillard. The portion from Tallulah Falls to Clayton has recently been widened, from a two-lane highway to a four-lane divided highway.

In 1974, as Royal College of Art students, Dick Perrin and I went to the USA with little money, no ideas, some film stock and a Nagra 3 tape recorder. We ended up in Clayton Georgia, begged a camera from Atlanta and brought back a movie on hillbillies - great people with great hospitality. This clip shows Junior Crowe at his still deep in the woods explaining how to brew moonshine, then with his band the Carolina Partners. The voice is Frank Rickman who helped John Boorman shoot Deliverance. BBC 2 broadcast it. Great stuff and fond memories. It's been pointed out that the still shown is a basic design. It condensed the liquor using a car radiator - a very bad practice. But this radiator was made of copper and its product safe. www.andyhumphreys.co.uk

This video follows US 29 northbound from the north end of SR 279/Herschel Road, through Downtown College Park and Downtown East Point, to just south of SR 166/Langford Parkway and the East Point-Atlanta city limit line. A little tidbit: The Atlanta Airport is in the City of College Park, the City of East Point, and portions of unincorporated Clayton and Fulton counties, seven miles south of Downtown Atlanta. The Airport is patrolled by the Atlanta Police Department, while those who are accused of crimes on the Airport grounds are transported to the Clayton County Jail.

This is a video of me riding on MARTA, which is an acronym for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. MARTA serves mostly Fulton and DeKalb counties, excepting a rail station (Airport - S7) in Clayton County, serving Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and C-Tran, and one bus route (Route 12 - Howell Mill/Cumberland) that provides access to Cumberland Mall in Cobb County. MARTA's not funded by the state -- it's funded by a 1% sales tax from Fulton and DeKalb counties. Because of this lack of state funding, MARTA General Manager and CEO, Dr. Beverly A. Scott, was talking about cutting some of the authority's service, by consolidating some bus routes and cutting back rail service hours (ie, going to a six day service week, for rail and buses).
