Atlanta

I went back to Atlanta this weekend for the first time in almost a year. The traffic is still horrible and everything is still manicured. But the downtown area is really booming and that's good because the rest of Atlanta exists because of the city. That was always one of my beefs...people rarely felt an obligation to "downtown". Complaining about paying for Grady Hospital, the sewers, or anything in the city is a major pastime of OTPers (outside the perimeter) forgetting that their little enclaves would not exist if it weren't for downtown. But it was wonderful visiting with friends who I miss and it was good to get back to the land of moderate traffic and very few billboards. Funny...I did not see any double wides in the atl.
