FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 21, 2001, 1:00 p.m. Director Confirms Project Edith BARNES PLACE (ATLANTA, GEORGIA) - Director of Ambiance and Entertainment Timothy State confirmed today that Project Edith is related to the Barnes Place website, Barnes Place.com. "Edith is the code name for the project, which has been in the design phase for the last six months," said State. The confirmation comes on the heels of an insider leak indicating a project code-named "Edith" was about to be launched. While State would only respond "vastly improved" when asked about the content of the new site and what visitor's might expect, he did indicate planning for the new site began about a year ago. "It began when we upgraded our web hosting account and established a high-speed connection to the Internet," added State. One insider privy to the details of the new site indicated the new site takes advantage of today's technologies and said anonymously, "You gotta see it; they are very creative." He also indicated Barnes Place had been burning the midnight oil lately. "I don't know if it's related," stated Dr. Jay, a Barnes Place fan, "But I noticed that the new Publix on Ponce was completely out of Sterno, Vienna sausages and Mister Bubble." --End--
