    probably about what the other 3 or 4 were like

    saw some restaurants are having to close bc they had moved to outdoor seating setup. Sucks. We need a bailout bill for Bars, Restaurants, etc. Getting clobbered this year.

    Believe it's gonna be windy as fuck. 40mph+ for a while.

    Biggest issue is that it rained a fuck load earlier this week. So the soil is loose and trees will fall

    Really hasn’t rained appreciably in the past week except the 24th when the USGS Gage at Peachtree Creek recorded just over 2”. High winds suck though...glad I’m not around any pines.

    Yeah I got more than 2 inches Saturday.

    Either way the ground is saturated from recent rain, which was my point

    Another vote for Big Dave’s here, although Fred’s is also quite good. The only negative on Big Dave’s is the wait if you go during peak hours - I’ve been to their downtown location and their old gas station spot in Dunwoody/Doraville and the whole process has been 60-75 minutes at times.

    We wanted Oakhurst/East Lake. In normal social times we gravitate that direction towards Decatur rather than towards Candler Park, westward.

    Never knew Id like this part of Dekalb so much. Always figured I would ultimately end up in Westend/Westview/Oakland City....or just EAV/Ormewood...but this area fucks.

    Looking to get some oysters (in shell) for a roast this weekend. Is my best bet BHFM/YDFM? I know Whole Foods and Atlanta Fish Mkt have them but I assume I’d be paying a premium there.

    Yea Id think Buford would be your best bet for value.

    I always pay a premium and this may be too far for you, but Ive done Kimball House togo several times this summer. They have some good ones from Bayou La Batre, some Ga ones, Hog Island San Fran, and your more traditional locales.
