Griffin, Great and Growing

by
GHSer of '89

"Great and growing," has been Griffin's slogan for many years. Many new businesses have "grown" from one area of Griffin to another leaving abandoned buildings
throughout the city.

"We need to pass the new SPLOST to pay for a new roof on the high school, and to get new radios and computers for the city," the mayor stated when asked about the derelict buildings. "And we might actually get some that work, because I'm not getting them from my cousin this time."

When a reporter reminded him of the original question, the mayor mumbled something about his bowels and made his exit.




GHSer was editor of his Junior High newspaper for almost two months before his adviser asked him to step down. He then went "rogue" with some friends and started publishing a rag called The Daily But, which was a huge hit in the cafeteria. After failing out of journalism school he had all but given up on his dream to become a reporter. Then the Snooze came along. GHSer is a resident of Griffin, GA and an accomplished writer having had two jokes published in Readers' Digest!
