Of course, my husband had to weigh in to Tim McDonald's response

Tim,

I do not think you intentionally misrepresented our city, and your column certainly did not have the tone of others that have appalled me. However, we in Augusta do have a problem with the national media not bothering to check one fact about our city before going to print. You listed phone numbers for restaurants that do not exist!

Had you simply accessed the Chronicle, Metro Spirit, or WGAC.COM you would have learned the removal of those statues and millions of dollars lost by the GGHF were a major scandal here. As I told your editor, each year the national media makes themselves look like nimwits in reporting on our city. Sorry, but it was you that got caught this year. In the past, our local media has simply said 'oh well.' Not anymore, you might let your colleagues in the national press know that Augusta is not the asphalt laden strip club hill billy town that once a year hosts a tournament. When you report on our city, take the time and get your facts straight. I do not think that is too much to ask.
