    Saw Burr at the Tabernacle a couple of years ago when he was taping a special. He's awesome. Lady behind me was so offended she got up and left.

    Pretty cool that he was in Breaking Bad albeit a small role.

    Hello to my fellow Atlanta people..haven't been around in a while. Started working at EY downtown a few weeks ago, so that's pretty awesome. I was looking for the ATL restaurant list that used to be on this page (at least I thought) and I can't find it :angry:

    It appears Columbia Venture is applying for some type of Affordable designation at Candler/Edgewood in exchange for $2mm, not sure what program yet but this is really late in the game, doubt it comes through. Would have to come from CoA and not a HUD or tax credit program.

    Construction is a mess at the station and there isn't enough parking for the daily riders anymore. I genuinely hate this shit project. It simply doesn't add ridership in sufficient numbers to warrant being built now.

    good article on the decision to urbanize downtowns:

    school is starting back so i dont *think* there will be any kid issues

    if not crowded, anywhere from 30mins to 1 hour. Its self-guided and mostly interactive, so you can kinda a la carte what exhibits you want to see/do.

    I got a SPG "hot deal" for $70, so we're staying at the Sheraton downtown. Now that I know the HOF is an hour or so commitment, any other recommendations to keep a college freshman occupied? No idea if he has an ID.

    other than your typical touristy stuff downtown (Aquarium, World of Coke, CNN Center) I have very little idea of how to entertain someone who isn't of legal drinking age.

    for food cuntiness, you may want to check out the food hall at Ponce City Market and then walk it off on the Beltline

    World of Coke and Civil Rights Center is right there. Jimmy Carter Library or Cyclorama at Grant Park via Uber. Just avoid the Aquarium imo. They might be having 20th Anniv. Olympics stuff going on at Centennial Park.


    If you guys haven't done Top Golf before, its over on the westside near the star provisions development.

    Good call on Civil Rights Museum. Believe they moved Cyclorama to the Atlanta History Center on Paces Ferry.

    Dad worked at the one in Chattanooga during college when it was still Confederama.

    think Cyclorama is at Grant Park until 2017. Im still pissed theyre moving it. Edit: nevermind, they have closed the exhibit this year. SMH. Was one of my favorite things to do as a kid.

    Supposedly the Atlanta History Center has a really good exhibit on the Olympics. But thats a hike from Downtown.

    Through the years, we've hit up most of the touristy stuff. Atlanta was a hot field trip locale for Montgomery/Auburn school children. Love the idea of the food hall/beltline.

    I saw the guy they arrested. I'm interested to find out the details behind it and the motive. My guesses are that they were being teenagers hooking up wherever they can (which in this instance was behind a Publix) and somehow this dude came across them and went into rage mode for some reason and shot them or that they were meeting this guy to purchase an illicit substance and dude went into rage mode for some reason. Either way, good chance he is getting a lethal injection down the road.
