atlanta homes: Radon and the controversy
- 11/25/09 02:00 AM

While we don't have serious radon problems in Georgia, there are pockets of the metro that have elevated levels. This multi-page brochure is in color, it's free and can be printed for your use. It's provided by the EPA and is very well done. I suggest you read it because there is a lot of confusion and mis-information flotaing around about Radon gas. You can't see it, smell it or taste it, yet it's a big health risk at high … (0 comments)

The Roswell Riverwalk is a planned five mile linear park/trail system. It will eventually be connected to the Alpharetta Greenway, north of Roswell. There are many organized and seasonal bike events for bikers of all levels and ages. Here's the link if you want to know more: http://www.bikeroswell.com/ … (2 comments)

When you place a call, you get a text with a local number. The party you are calling also gets a number to call. You phone in and the system hooks you up. A lot of work for local nationwide calls, but could save you a lot … (1 comments)
