Atlanta -Empty or Full (Of It)
September 24, 2008 | Atlanta, Georgia | Vetting explained
Yesterday I submitted an iReport with some photos as a result of seeing some unusually long lines at the gas stations at a fairly late hour as well as gas stations completely out of gas. Since I don't own a television, I did not see any of the local newsreports, and instead decided to see for myself if there was truly a problem, and if so how extensive and pervasive it was or was not. What I discovered is that there is a problem and there isn't. Many stations had gas and were receiving it regularly. In contrast, many stations did not have gas, and had not received any for a number of days. The related video is a compilation of some of the people I talked to throughout the day, along with their opinions on the current circumstances, as well as my discovery that Atlanta does have gas, without lines...if you can find it.
