Common sense isn't.
Although the general area was
previously open to public access, it is clear that the visitor
overlook has been neglected for at least a couple years or more. I
last personally visited it in 1995, at which time the facility was
in good shape, and the video equipment was still operating. This is
clearly no longer the case, and has not been for quite some
time.
They used to show a slide show on this screen, and there used to
be benches to sit on while watching.
The projection booth has been
boarded over.
If I remember correctly, it was previously unattended, and one
would push a button to start the show.
At right is the
overlook view towards the
Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (now at archive, 2002) (HRIBF brief
description).
The sign is no longer there.
Below is a panoramic view.

| Quote of the moment |
| The more I have studied American history and the more clearly I have seen what the problems are. I do believe that the common denominator of our great men in public life has not been mere allegiance to one political party but the disinterested devotion with which they have strived to serve the whole country. And the relative unimportance that they have ascribed to politics compared with the paramount importance of Government. |
