There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“Ronald H. Bayor [professor in School of History, Technology, and Society] says the failure of the 1971 MARTA referendum in Gwinnett and Clayton was the beginning of the region’s transportation problems because of the lack of mass transit in the suburbs,” wrote Doug Monroe. “Yet his research goes back to the racial reckoning behind the route of the interstate highway system that began construction in the 1950s.” Source: Atlanta Magazine – August 1, 2012
