ATLANTA — Marc Bolden is frustrated with the out-of-town protesters who cut through his DeKalb County neighborhood, blasting their music and fireworks late into the night and clashing with police.
Margaret Mason Tate, who lives less than a mile up the road from Bolden, is unnerved by the heavy law enforcement presence and the reoccurring drone of helicopters.
While Tate and Bolden have staked out sharply different positions on Atlanta’s new public safety training center, both are fed up with the side effects from the $90 million project.
