There are plenty of places to get information about the ATT and Bill Busey has been at pretty much every single area festival promoting the trail and what's happening to it. It's simply shoddy journalism that he didn't bother to do even basic research about it. If what he is trying to say is that it needs a website, then he should simply say that.

I think his point wasn't to trash the trail so much as to trash the trail as to encourage folks who are working on it to make a more public notification of the status of construction. If you Google "American Tobacco Trail" there's not a solid website that comprehensively explains how to access the trail on the first page results. Just some PDFs and a hodge podge of information. I think the author's point was that with all the touting local officials do about the trail, you would think there would be a more comprehensive guide out there. I tried to take a ride on the trail with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, and after sifting through the Google results and Web 0.5 websites dedicated to the trail, we opted to go on the N.C. Art Museum Trail. Perhaps we would have stuck with the ATT trail if there was a better resource out there explaining in clear detail what's open, what's not, where to park, what to see.

I'm extremely disappointed with you, Ginny. This story is not worth linking to at all. The writer obviously knows nothing at all about the ATT and just decided to trash it. The Chatham county bridges have never been opened since the ATT opened. They're being built right now and should be done by this summer but this guy fails basic comprehension. This story is *NOT* linkworthy. You know what. I’m extremely disappointed with you, Ginny. This story is not worth linking to at all.
