Wake Up Somewhere Else

As of 11:29pm, the “Yes” column for creating Johns Creek (or is it John’s Creek?) is towering over the “No” side, nine-to-one. So tomorrow morning, we’ll wake up … well … right where we are. A win means that Johns Creek will incorporate, yes, but not officially until the first week of December 2006. And as it was explained in last night’s town hall meeting, the name change will not affect anyone’s postal address. 30022 will still be considered Alpharetta. At some later time, Johns Creek can petition the USPS for recognition. Hopefully, that agenda item is scheduled sometime after resurfacing the crumbly streets of our neighborhood.

In other results, it looks like Casey Cagle is going to maintain his 56% of the vote for Republican candidacy over fellow leiutenant governor wanna-be Ralph Reed. Good. Then the plan worked …

    We’re city boys now! Hotdangit! I’m gonna git me some white wall tires!

    So are we Johns Creekians, Johns Creekans, Johns Creekites, Johns Creekies, or Johns Creekers?

    No whitewalls until/unless our neighborhood’s streets are actually repaved (pipe dream, that is).

    I think that there is, unfortunately, no good way to identify ourselves as being from John’s Creek. Creek isn’t one of those words that lends itself well to “-ite”ing or whathaveyou.

    Ah, just call yourself crawdads and be done with it.
