July 21, 200422 yr I gotta see if I can go to Stone Mountain again. Lina: I'll never leave you!! *hug* If I could, I'd take you with me. LOL 468427[/snapback] :confused I need to get away, but I have chosen to go to Colombia at the end of the year, so there goes my vacation time.
July 21, 200422 yr Atlanta has some pretty cool things. If you can, you should go about an hour north of Atlanta, to Helen, GA. It's on the Chatahoochie...waterfalls, white-water rapids (you don't have to go kayaking or anything)...it's just a pretty place. Stone Mtn is cool....see what concerts are going on...Atlanta can have some good music playin in downtown...they aren't real famous, and will play in small venues...but those tend to be the best concerts. Oh, and ya gotta eat at the Varsity. It's famous!
July 31, 200422 yr Stone Mountain..... beautiful. My sister's old house was really close to it. We all went there once. Breath taking. 468350[/snapback] Ricky Williams enjoys that Mt. ! How 'bout Lennox Square Mall! North of Atlanta...I think...HUGE Also the famous chili dog place? The Varsity? ? wooops didn't read page 2 sorry
July 31, 200422 yr Anyone else have any ideas of cool stuff to do in ATL? I am sure we're going to go to the Mall of Georgia and to the Braves game, but I want to do more stuff. The Coca Cola Museum is pretty cool but I think the neighborhood it's in went bad. 468001[/snapback] Naw Miri, you're from Miami, this area of Atlanta is fine. Right near Underground Atlanta, it'll be fine over there.
July 31, 200422 yr Take the MARTA as much as possible :plain you know what MARTA (the transit system in Atlanta) stands for right?
August 1, 200422 yr Author Hey guys. I am here in ATL. We just got in like 3 hours ago. Tomorrow we're going to the Ted. I'll take pics. If anyone watches, look for two Mike Lowell shirts in the stands.
August 1, 200422 yr it's just a joke. It's not the safest form of transit. 488312[/snapback] MARTA doesn't go to Turner, and as far as transit systems go, what are safe ones? That was really dumb, when they had the Olympics in ATL in 96, they should've used some of that olympic money to extend the MARTA from Downtown to Turner Field.
August 1, 200422 yr I took the T by myself all the time when I was in Boston for a month. I felt really safe there. MARTA is known for not being the safest form of transit...it's a running joke....
August 1, 200422 yr Author Just got home from the game awhile ago. I had a good time. Hank Aaron was there. Oh, the Braves have these what I like to call, "wanna be Mermaid". They don't do much of anything but stand there and try to look pretty. There was some dude that kept messing with Max & I because we were in Marlins gear. :lol We saw two other Marlins fans there. Cool stuff. The usher there was really nice to us and he asked us about Miami. Oh,the Braves won 6-5.
August 1, 200422 yr :lol glad you had a good time... I'd probably have picked on you if I were a Braves fan.... but I'd also be wearing Marlins stuff too, if I were at the TED! :lol
August 1, 200422 yr Author Ah it was okay. I actually liked it. I thought it was funny. Everyone else was fine with us.
August 5, 200422 yr Author Well, not much going on here. LOTS of Braves fans. They always ask us if we're from Florida after they look at us with a strange look when we wear our Marlins gear. It's hilarious. We go back home on Friday. And we're taking pics.

Sounds just like the Mermaids here though! I had the same thing when I dared to hold up a Marlins Publix Beach Towel...in a sea of tomahawk chops..."WE AIN'T GOT NO PUBLIX HERE! WE GOT KROGERS!...SITTDOWNNN" :lol
August 5, 200422 yr Author Yea, they're not very nice to fans of the opposing team. I saw a couple of Mets fans get heckled like hell. One guy behind me was talking about some Mets fan going up the aisle. He said he wanted to throw him down the stairs. It was mean, funny..... but mean.
August 5, 200422 yr It's also the Mets. I mean, it's Atlanta....New York teams are hated more than the rest.
