Never mind the maglev to Chattanooga, apparently. The state DOT has allocated $4 million for the study of a high-speed passenger rail line to Charlotte.
I'm not reacting as cynically to this story as I do to most, though. The fact that the DOT is even willing to allow for the possibility of high-speed rail in Georgia is a vast improvement in demeanor over the past several years. Let's hope that, as airline tickets inevitably climb in price, and as Charlotte becomes more formidable competition to our own city, the line is considered more seriously in the future.
I'm sorry for posting something so cursory, but I must be going now. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
