The Top Has Returned

The top of the monument has returned.

Confederate Memorial Missing Piece

The city has removed the top part of the monument because it had shifted.  It has always been a little off-center so I am glad to see the city take action.  It would have been worse if they had let it fall and possibly hurt someone.

Here's the story about the event from The Augusta newspaper.  Same story as running in the Athens Banner Herald except it's free.
