Authorities call graffiti at center gang-related

Police say they are investigating what appears to be gang-related graffiti on the front doors of the Marion-Hatcher Center in Augusta.

Someone sprayed black paint on the two doors at 519 Greene St. between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to authorities. The vandalism appears to have been done by a gang calling themselves Thugged Mafia, said Richmond County sheriff's Sgt. Blaise Dresser.

"We'll continue to monitor this activity in hopes to locate those who committed this crime," he said.

The Marion-Hatcher Center is across the street from the Richmond County Municipal Building and is a social hall for various events.

TRAFFIC REPORT

The outside westbound lane at Laney Walker Boulevard and East Boundary Road will be closed until Sept. 26 while crews install a new storm drain, according to a Richmond County Engineering Department news release.

There will be no detour and only one lane of traffic will be open.

A RANT to the traffic light at the intersection of Georgia Ave. and Martintown Rd. How long do I have to sit there late at night b4 I can run the light. Every night I sit there for at least 5 mins, or until another car (coming down Georgia Ave.) comes up to the light. Someone needs to check the sensors there PLEASE! (I WILL REPOST THIS EVERYDAY UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE!) lol

Try telling someone who cares! The people that monitor the lights at that intersection are in Columbia, SC and do not read the rants section of the AC.

Tom Foley not getting charged is another Conspiracy of Silence - On Tuesday May 3, 1994 this news documentary was scheduleded to air on the Discovery Channel. It was withheld from the public and all copies were to be destroyed. Here is a production work copy that missed elimination. The perfidy that sustains the sinister forces of the established corrupt order is obscene and… would be untenable if known. http://www.ctrl.org/MilleganStews/index.html

Shouldn't spotted assassin post in the rant and rave section and not across the area? Take the last right before you get to the light and at the stop sign make a left onto martintown and then right at the light. Of course by the time you do that you could just wait PATIENTLY for the light to change. It'll give you a chance to call someone you love on your cell or say a prayer. Pray for the light to change or pray for patience.

try an alternate route? why not get some of those lazy city workers eating at al's restaurant to repair the light. i know what he's talking about.maybe it can make it in the phragments from phyllis section when she stops boring everyone with her perfect family consisting of tom(ward cleaver)mac, you never hear about this dude,cat,can we say a friend of palins daughter? and liz who moves every month.oh! and my friend susan!

angiesdad: huh? I didn't understand that last sentence

If you don't like it don't eat there. They probably don't care for you there either. As far as NA's city workers being lazy. Our city looks a helluva lot better than Augusta's. Don't you think they deserve a chance to eat too?

ahhh popkorn, now it makes sense that it doesn't make sense!!!!!! LOL
