Home from Atlanta
Just spend the last 24-hours caught up in the post-terrorist-plot-thwart-airport-chaos. It ain't fun sitting on the runway for 4 hours without food or air conditioning. Even worse to sleep overnight at an airport. It just kills me to think that a few days ago that I visited Atlanta for the first time.
Midtown Atlanta is an mixxed community of GLB and yuppies racing towards restoration and preservation of the neighborhoods. To the side, Piedmont Park opens toward the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. A very hip neighborhood- if you can afford to live there. Down the block, The Flying Biscuit offers breakfast at any hour of day.
Uptown, skyscaper construction competes to outline the horizon. Georgia Aquarium, World of Coke, and Fernbank Musuem of Natural History offers something to the tourist. Farther up the block, you can stroll through Centennial Olympic Park, and beyond that CNN Atlanta. Far downtown, the Center for the Puppetry Arts is something to behold.
Somewhere neithere here nor there, Little Five Points offers the feel of South Street, Philly- definetly from the streets. It's more of that alternative botique, bar hopping, tattooed scene. Safe by daylight, scandelous by nightfall.
Of it all, my favorite visit was Sweetwater Brewery. Six bucks goes a long way: offical pint glass, brew tour, three hours of live music, and six samplers that poured well over the 3/4th's pint mark. It looks much more like a post happy hour hangout for the 20- / 30-something yippie (thats a hippie yuppie) crowd. Much cool.
Atlanta is my kind of town.
