Spiritual Windex...I KNOW YOU SEE ME We IZ Free --- Ain't We???HOWEVER, I have observed some things about the "culture" here that I am findin very difficult to stomach. I think that I touched on the idea that women here seem to have that you can hide your personality deficits behind a ton of make up and weave in a previous blog so I won't recap that one. I'm fly with or without any of those trappings because (in the words of India.Arie) I AM NOT MY HAIR! But I digress... Outside of the general dislike for "Northerners" (I'm from the Midwest so WHUTEVA) and the general "clickishness" of people here, what I find most disturbing is how grown ass professional folk tend to defer to melanin-challenged folk and how the melanin-challenged expect it. I mean, I have no problem with the "others" but as a grown ass woman of 39 years old, I DO have a problem with anyone that doesn't respect me as such. I have two examples of this type of behavior/expectation and it goes a little something like this.... Exhibit A: I work it the Dean's Office of a prestigious university where the support staffers are typically black. Again, not a problem. I'm from a very diverse city and have worked in very diverse settings....Well, in a conversation with one of my co-workers, she informed me that we have to be careful when speaking to each other because it is being documented by the Dean's Assistant (white woman) and we could "get in trouble".....WTF???? My immediate thought was "What happens when we get "in trouble"?" I mean, for real yall WHAT IS "IN TROUBLE"?? The co-worker that I'm speaking of previously held my position so naturally there are going to be conversations between the two of us so..... I just couldn't believe what I was hearing! This same woman (Dean's Assistant) called a meeting with all of the Admins and the Directors/Associate Dean's to discuss new policy that was being implemented...... I'm very serious when I tell you that these broads actually wanted to discuss phone etiquette and dress code. She started the meeting off with "We in the Dean's Suite are held to a higher standard than the rest of the building so we wanted to be sure that everyone is dressed appropriately and that all visitors feel welcomed.....blah blah blah". I won't even mention that noone in the office is under 35 years old or is working their first job but I will say that even the Directors/Associate Deans had to say "we haven't seen anyone dressed inappropriately and we've never heard of anyone not feeling welcomed to the suite". Maybe I'm tripping (NOT) but wasn't that something to put in a policy manual and recap during an all staff meeting??? Or better yet, start the meeting off with a "we are putting together a policy manual for our office and wanted what we consider key points to you to see if you have any input/feedback". While I don't really appreciate the work ethic of my co-workers at times, I can honestly say that Sistahs are representing up in there on the appearance tip! And the "coffee, tea or soda?" game is on point! WTF
Exhibit B: Again, I have just moved into a lovely apartment in a really great neighborhood....I love my little space and have big plans for how I'd like to set it up. My only problem is my upstairs neighbor. Apparently, she has grown accustomed to this unit being empty because almost as soon as I moved in (which has been less than a month ago), Lil Missy starts banging her feet on the floor. The first time that it happened, I thought that maybe she might've dropped something - no harm, no foul. The second time (5:00am), I grew a bit concerned because management told me that she lives alone and the thud was so loud, it sounded like a body - girly could've been up there hurt. I listened for a bit but heard nothing more so I forgot about it. The third time, the banging was more like "thump, thump, thump" so I manned up and went upstairs to check on her - again, thinking that she was signaling me that she was hurt! I ring her doorbell - no answer. I knock on the door - no answer....so I go back to my place and realize MY TELEVISION IS A BIT LOUD! Oh my goodness! I assume that instead of knocking on my door and asking me to turn it down, this heifer feels that stomping on the floor is an appropriate way to communicate that she'd like for me to turn it down! As if I understand Morse code or something. So still tryin to be the bigger person, I write her a little note explaining that I hear the thumping and I am growing concerned for her safety. I went further and stated that if I hear it again, I would be forced to contact the authorities and/or management. Well, just two days ago, I get an email from management stating that my television is filtering to my upstairs neighbors apartment and if I would, please TURN OFF my television at night or turn it down so that only I can hear it because our little area has a noise ordinance that starts at 11pm...... Turn it off??? Not an option!! Turn it down so that only I can hear it??? Hell, how am I to know if and when she can hear it if she's too afraid of the "big black woman" to open her door and tell me?? Noise ordinance?? Well, I looked it up and I have plans to go and see the commissioner and ask him for an updated version and to ask if there are comparisons as to how loud 50 decibals is (since that is what is permitted after 10pm). I am a reasonable person - for real I am- and I've lived in apartments before. I realize that there are certain compromises that one has to make but I also realize that short of living in your OWN HOME you WILL hear your neighbors periodically! I mean, the noise ordinance is effective from 10pm - 7am... I don't feel it necessary to run to management when she's throwning her boots, shoes or whatever around her bedroom (directly above mine) at 5 o'clock in the morning!!!! I wait until it's over and go back to sleep until 6:30am when I get up to get dressed for work. Oh yeah, the manager actually had the audacity to say "well she works AND goes to school" when I called her about the situation - SOUNDS LIKE A LIFE CHOICE BOO-BOO!! While it's certainly admirable of her to improve herself, it doesn't put a dollar on my rent and my ability to live FREELY in my apartment!!!
Okay, I'm done for now........ I Said I Wasn't Gone Tell Nobodee...BUT I HAD TO
 Ladies (and fellas too), It's sad to say that we have all probably dealt with having to tell one of our close friends that there significant other (or whatever) ain't about the right thing and those of us that chose to tell have probably regretted doing so as soon as we opened our mouths! However,my situation is a little unique in that I had to tell one of my coolest homegirls that the love of her life, the apple of her eye, her BOO-OOO wasn't about nuthin because he was all up in MY FACE trying to get on! ARGHHHHH Let me back up and give yall a little background - this ain't my first time at the rodeo. Years ago, my cousin's man pushed up on me (while she was in the other room) and approached me in the most disgusting way imaginable - he put his tongue in my ear and whispered some obscenities! I immediately reported his raggedy behind to the authorities (my cousin) because I felt that dude didn't just disrespect my cousin but he also disrespected me to the utmost by even thinking that I would be the kinda chick that would play myself or my family like that. The confrontation immediately followed! I wasn't surprised that dude denied everything but I was very disappointed when my cousin not only stayed with this mangy mutt (for 5-6 more years) and ended up being one of several baby mommas (they had two children together) but this dingy broad actually got mad at ME! I vowed then that if ever faced with the situation again, I would simply "get my check on" and just keep my mouth shut....until recently! I've had a homegirl for more than 10 years that I kinda regarded as a little sister. I've seen her climb through the corporate ranks into a very lucrative, fullfilling career almost as soon as she graduated college. The woman is handling her business, making things happen in her life and she ain't even 33 years old yet! The one thing that I have found difficult to handle is her lack of confidence in herself personally. In the corporate world, she's a BEAST but personally, she might as well be named "Doormat". About 5 years ago, she linked up with this dude that was her brother's friend in college and she seemed to be really happy - at first. After a couple of years, dude started to show his true colors and any hopes that she had of having a serious relationship, marriage, children were DASHED! Homey came short of telling her that she didn't look "good enough" for him to take out in public, to have his children, etc. In short, she was his long term booty call/chef/personal driver/ATM..... I try not to downrate someones love interest so I kept my "Girl You Can Do Betta Than That's" to a minimum. I even stomached dude and his trifling friends ONCE at a cookout that she funded - I mean, put together and added his silly a$$ to one of my joke email distribution lists. Well, about 6 months ago, I sent out one of those "getting to know your friends" emails and as usual, included him on it (I have 30-40 people in my list). What I neglected to consider was that one of the questions referenced bra size. This dude hits me back like "Oh yeah??".. I am embarrassed beyond belief and immediately hit apology mode but he doesn't stop there...he proceeds to try to mack on me! Although I know that he ain't no good, I'm feeling like he might have me confused with one of the chicks on HIS distribution lists but NAH, he knows exactly who he's talking to. So, as I proceed with the "checking" and immediately place him in my "junk mail" category and delete his ass from my dist. lists. When I spoke to my homegirl about a week later, she indicated that she was "done with his trifling ass". That coupled with my previous experience of "telling", I made the executive decision to not tell her about homey trying to play both me and her. Well, just a couple of days ago, my girl calls me from home to get the updates on my new life in the "A" and to give me the updates on her life and tells me that not only is she done with old boy because she found an earring that wasn't hers in his apartment but that she found herself a new man! I was/am sooo excited for her! This man is stable, has his own things, is well established and is ALL ABOUT HER!!! She seemed sooo happy but the conversation quickly shifted back to the no-count "Hadda Man" of her past...OMG!!! Needless to say, I made the fatal mistake of doing what?? TELLING!!! I hit her with a "girl he ain't even worth your friendship. I said I wasn't gonna say anything but he tried to get at ME about 6 months ago".....Why I wanna go and do that, huh? What wound up happening is that she got mad at me anyways - "Why didn't you tell me then?" "Why didn't you blind copy me on the email?" "What phone number did he give you to call? If it's his number that will confirm it for me" type of stuff.....You'd have thought that I'd just told her that we screwed... I decided at that exact moment that she don't wanna be saved, wished her well in her future and hung up the phone knowing that our friendship had just ended..... 2月9日 Whatcha Know 'Bout DAT????
AHHHHHHH,
I found this on a webpage and it's funny because although I never did the O-H-I-O while I was in Ohio - now that I live in Georgia, it almost comes out before I can even say "Hello"! Why you ask??? Because Southerners REP THEY SET!!! They are very proud of their origins and roots (even the ones in the kitchen area - Ladies yall know what I'm talking 'bout) soooooo being the corn-fed, Midwestern-Bred Diva that I am - I REPS MY JOINT TOO!!!! It gets so deep around here that when I recently went home, I almost purchased a gang of candy buckeyes (a peanut butter mixture surrounded by chocolate so as to resemble a real buckeye) for immediate distribution - something to help 'em to digest me and my "Midwest Swang" a lil betta - YA KNOW??? Yeah, it gets deep around these parts for one that chooses to pronoune the WHOLE WORD and doesn't feel that cherry bomb red is a color for yo nails, hair, outfit and shoes - all at the same time!! Or for someone that doesn't require a background story to the question of "Do you require this form to....." (a simple yes or no suffices for those of us that actually have something to do Yeah, I'm clowning a lil bit but it gets a little overwhelming when all you see a "A" hats and everybody is throwing up a "Peace Up - A Town Down".......so I twist my manicured fingers into a "M" on one hand and a "W" on another!! Had a chick tell me once "that's a whole lot"
And I'm out!!!!
P.S. Miss yall 12月3日 Random Thoughts and Questions
When a white person is born in Africa (and self-identifies as "South African", etc.) comes to the USA, marries and has a child, is that child an African-American? If not, WHY?? I am labelled as such and I have NEVER been to Africa and am sure that I have more than a "lil Indian in my family". (I self-identify as "Black" because it's more about a state of mind than geography). Is the label African-American moreso about color than where your ancestors originated from?
Why is dirty laundry heavier than clean laundry (carrying dirty laundry is a MOTHER!!!)
Why is it that gay men emmulate women, wear women's clothing and refer to themselves as "girls" when they are clearly men? I thought that "homosexual" meant that one is attracted to the same sex. If a gay man wants a woman then why doesn't he just go and get one and improvise on the sexual part (they do make removable parts, etc.)? Same for gay women. The last one may not be any of my business but HAY, again, these are just some of the thoughts that pass through 11月22日 The Natives Might Be Gettin RestlessOKay, I'm realllll salty about the attached story because when I heard the story as I was getting dressed for work, my first reaction was "Am I hearing this right? A 92 year old woman in a shootout with the police during a drug raid?" Then I sat down on the edge of my bed and sure enough, the story was exactly as I'd heard it. An undercover unit of the Atlanta police attempted to serve a "no knock warrant" (meaning they just kicked in the door) on a Bankhead home that Kathryn Johnston, 92, had lived in for twenty years because they claim that they'd purchased drugs there earlier in the day. What angers me most about the story is that this ELDERLY WOMAN had enough markmanship about herself to shoot the officers (3 of 'em) in the arm and legs and someone, with all of their training, they only seem capable of killing!!! The DeKalb county police are already under investigation for police involved KILLINGS (14 - yes FOURTEEN OF THEM) - most recently a domestic abuse victim that fended off her abusive husband with a knife and when the police arrived she, apparently still hysterical from the attack, refused to put down the knife!!! Did either of these women deserve to die for protecting themselves?????? I'm trying to understand this but for some odd reason, I feel a riot coming on or at the least, real attacks on the police!! They took it too far in shooting and killing Kathryn Johnston for attempting to protect herself,. in her home with a gun that was registered! If you came into my home by force, regardless of what your shirt said, I might have to take a shot too!!! I mean, hell, just last week, a 72 year old woman was raped in that same neighborhood...Those that know the words of prayer, please keep her family in your prayers !!
ATLANTA — Police who shot and killed a 92-year-old woman after she wounded three officers were looking for a man who sold drugs to undercover agents at her home earlier that day, authorities said Wednesday. The agents got a search warrant after buying drugs Tuesday afternoon from a man in Kathryn Johnston’s home, Assistant Police Chief Alan Dreher said. Johnston’s niece, Sarah Dozier, said her aunt likely had reason to shoot the three plainclothes investigators as they stormed her house. “My aunt was in good health. I’m sure she panicked when they kicked that door down,” Dozier told WAGA-TV, adding that there were no drugs in the house. “There was no reason they had to go in there and shoot her down like a dog.” Police insisted the officers did everything right before entering the home, despite suggestions from the woman’s neighbors and relatives that it was a case of mistaken identity. Johnston was the only resident in the house at the time and had lived there for about 17 years, Dreher said. The officers “knocked and announced” before they forced open the door and were justified in shooting once fired upon, he said. Rev. Markel Hutchins, a civil rights activist and spokesman for the family, said he could understand why Johnston would have a gun because she lived in a high-crime area. “She was afraid,” Hutchins said. “This is a horrifying situation in a neighborhood where crime happens often. This incident is a result of a mix-up.” As the officers approached the house around 7 p.m., a woman inside started shooting, striking each of them, said Officer Joe Cobb, a police spokesman. One was hit in the arm, another in a the leg and the third in the leg, face and chest, with the chest shot striking a bullet-resistant vest. The officers were taken to a hospital for treatment, and all three were expected to recover, police said. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said his office is conducting its own independent investigation into the shooting, but said a preliminary review shows the officers had a legal right to search the home. Hutchins said he would try to meet with Police Chief Richard Pennington and would meet with lawyers. 11月2日 YOU DONE GOT ON MY LAST NERVE.......My pet peeve(s)I dunno and maybe it's just me but do people (other persuasions in particular) take certain liberties when it comes to shortening your name? Am I trippin' or has someone other than me have this experience. Most recently I encountered a woman at work who used to supervise the team that I'm working with. She brings over some mail that she received that should be forwarded to the big wigs upstairs for processing. Cool but she starts the conversation off wtih a "Marjie, I received...blah, blah, blah). That is exactly how everything else sounded to me after she took the liberty to use a name that I have reserved for my family & friends! Oh, you can't imagine how that one thing, specifically, gets on my last nerve! So I correct this lady in the most polite tone that I can muster (which was pretty darned good if I must say so myself) and say "Oh, that's "M______e?" A quick apology and moving on to the topic at hand would've sufficed but Ms. Thang is feeling herself and offers a "Well, I thought that I heard Mary say 'Marjie'". Mary being the co-worker that I've designated as "cool". OKAYYYYYY! Mary sees me inhale in preparation of giving this chick the very polite business and chimes in with a "Oh no, I said Marjorie". It was then and only then that this chick offered an apology and half assed did that. I had to go take me a break on that one.......First, I felt it rude that she took the liberty of shortening my name without my permission but THEN after she's corrected for HER error, she then challenges me on what the hell I just told her to call me!!!! OH MY GOODNESS! Again, this could just be a personal pet peeve and I'm willing to accept that. Those that know the words of prayer, keep a sistah lifted up on this one cuz WHEW...... Another one of my pet peeves, as pointed out by my children, is to be questioned on advice that I offer on the request of the the questioner!!! Okay, you ask me "How much does a gallon of milk cost?" and I tell you that it runs from $2-3 dollars, why then would you counter with a "Well, so-and-so told me that it only costs $1.50"???? Get outta my face with that nonsense!! That is another thing that makes my skin crawl! To engage in a debate of information that I don't, personally, need is pointless to me! I cannot explain WHY it irritates me so much but HAY...Tis what it is! The next one is a double edged sword because it's both a blessing and a curse! My appearance would give someone the impression that I am younger than I actually am. As the "baby girl" in a pretty large family, my sisters were all gone from home as I was coming up through the ranks so I was left at home with the boys. All of this to say that I never learned to wear makeup properly so being the type of "Diva" that I am, I don't do it at all. Thankfully, I've never NEEDED it so I just take care to have a variety of lip gloss/lipstick, keep the brows done and I regularly "moisturize my situation"....ladies, yall know all of the work that's done in the background to preserve our sexy! At any rate when I meet people that are my age, they often slip into this tone that could be perceived as condescending....most recently I met a lady at work who'd, under the assumption that I was a "twenty-something" shared that people might not believe that I was as sharp as I truly am because I don't wear makeup and am not "glammed up" for work. That is when I pulled out the big guns and shared with her that in over TWENTY YEARS that I have been in the work force, I've never heard such a thing! I came into the work force during a time when ladies were expected to wear skirts and dresses to work and WOULD get sent home if the skirt went above knee level! Stuff like, "no double seamed" pants and men having to wear shirts with collars were also requirements but MAKEUP??? Nah, that was a first! I know a profitable appearance and have put it down (apparently because I'm working at the same place as this boughy heifer). What was the killer about this pretentious hag is that when she found out that my son attends Morehouse, the entire tone changed! I then received invitations to lunch, church and all types of social events! Not only did I have to let this broad know that I'm not new to this...I'm true to this but I also had to let her know that (in the words of TI) YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!! Just because I choose to approach work as exactly what it is WORK - and not a fashion show or a social outing - doesn't mean that I am at a disadvantage! Being at a disadvantage is having a horrible weave and not having a wig brush handy!!! (oops, did I use my "outside voice" for that one???)
Okay, I got it all off my chest! Whew, I feel so much better!
Yall take it easy and stay posted for B-Day pics!! 9月16日 Home of the Mean Mugs and Shoulder Shrugs
I know you've heard "Yung Dro" talking about how folk in Atlanta do the "Shoulder Lean" but nobody told you about the "Shoulder Shrug and the Mean Mug" did they? The reason that I say this is because during my first few weeks of living in Atlanta, I have encountered what I will refer to as the Shrug & Mug on an almost daily basis....TOTAL SHOCK!!! Shocking because i'd heard so much about Southern Hospitality and while I didn't expect folk to invite me to their family gatherings upon arrival, I was expecting, at the least, a friendlier group of people than I left back in Ohio.
My first encounter with the Shrug and Mug was when I attempted to explore the city's transit system called MARTA. It seemed like a pretty good idea since the city is so large and there is so much to see. My thought was that there would be either a train or a bus that would take me to any of the more "touristy" spots. While this was a good idea in theory, my hope to "just ask the driver" if I got lost was not a good one! Once I asked a driver if they were going to the downtown area & this "man" actually had the nerve to look me in the eye, pop his chewing gum AND NOT SAY A DAMNED WORD! I tend to be a soft spoken woman so I cleared my throat, looked him back in his eyes and repeated myself. Once again....THE MUG! After the third try, I just gave up and decided to rely on the map that I searched two hours searching on the internet for......I once asked a driver if the street ahead was Sycamore Street (IT WAS), to which she responded with a shoulder shrug and an "I dunno".....HOW YOU GONNA TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T KNOW THE STREETS ON THE ROUTE THAT YOU'RE DRIVIN'??? The bus drivers aren't the only culprits of the shrug -n- mug. The people are equally as standoffish.
Now don't get me wrong....there's not a lack of manners around here....You will often hear "excuse me" and a ton of " 'Preciate Cha" (what I've translated as "Thank you"). In my experiences, black people have many ways of acknowledging each other in public places and to say hello. One of the most commonly used gestures for both males and females, is the head nod. If you make eye contact with someone that you pass in the hallway, on the street, at the store men will throw their heads back while ladies will give you a tip of the head forward. You make eye contact with someone here, you would do just as well to see what you are going to see and KEEP IT MOVIN'. I'm appreciative of a nice looking man and Atlanta does not have a shortage of those....So, one day, I'm in the train station and I see a nice looking young man. While I'm not staring dude down, I am taking a gander and am impressed....until he starts to walk toward me and I recognize the flat footed stomp that is quite common amongst homosexual men. Weeellll...there that went. At any rate, he gets closer and I realize that his hair isn't cut into a fade (which I'd thought at a distance) but is actually in some kind of intricate, coiled, twisty type of hairdo that is OFF THE CHAIN! Because I didn't want to come off like I was staring, I made eye contact and gave him one of the "head nods" I described earlier.......did Mr. Thang hit me with the coldest mean mug I've ever encountered in life????? I was kinda scared so I offered a "Gurl, yo hair is cute". Mr. Thang proceed to stomp on down the platform, to my relief. Another thing that I discovered is that people that are from ATL generally don't know where anything outside of their neighborhoods are so don't even think about asking them for directions. The most helpful information that I have received are from the obvious out-of-towners...folk that are from other countries!
Needless to say, my adventures on the transit system have been numerous and varied but I am proud to say that I am now well acquainted with their website and have become very good at reading maps and bus schedule jackin'! A chick is dangerous with an iPod and a bus pass!!!! 9月4日 "Blue Eyed Soul" at it's Finest!!!I don' t know how many of yall have heard of Robin Thicke but for you "hip-hop heads" his song "Shooter" was recently redone by Lil Wayne. When I first heard Lil Wayne's version (thanks to my gurl Kelz) I instantly fell in love with the smooth R&B undertones. I had absolutely no idea that the song had actually been released by Robin Thicke (formerly known as just "Thicke") so I immediately began a search to find out who this dude was! Well, as it turns out, he's been out for a while and as I mentioned earlier he used to go by just "Thicke". I also discovered that he is the son of actor Alan Thicke (best known for his role as Dr. Jason Seaver on television show "Growing Pains") who is also a successful songwriter/composer is his own right (credits include Facts of Life theme, Diff'rent Strokes theme and a whole lot of other stuff that we grew up on). I guess going by "Thicke" was an attempt to establish himself on his own and dammit, he's done a wonderful job! His new song is called "Lost Without You" and the song is so romantic, if you aren't in love already, it could cause you to fall in love WITH LOVE! Check the video which includes a special appearance from his wife, Paula Patton, who recently starred in the movie "Idlewild".Someone with the initials "J. T." may want to watch his back for this one! 9月3日 Indulging my inner "Phat Gurl"Chile, let me tell you.....coming from the Midwest to the South one of the first things that I wanted to do is to experience "real" soul food. Don't get me wrong, we can cook "up North" and I personally have been known to "put my foot" in a couple of dishes - my mac & cheese put my Moms to sleep this past Thanksgiving - but nothing in this world compares to how they get down here! During my first day in the "A", my sister and I were on a mad search for some collard greens, hot water cornbread and some peach cobbler.....well, the desk clerk at our hotel was apparently having a "pinky in the air" moment cuz he referred us to a Southwesten bar & grille. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against wraps, fajitas, etc. but again, I'm from a college town so there isn't a shortage of those types of joints. I could ride down the street that I lived on and find everything from Caribbean to Greek food with no problem! We shared that with dude and still on that "pinky in the air" shyt, he tells us about some commercialized soul food spot....Thankfully, there was an older woman behind us that offered a "You didn't tell them about Satterwhite's?" He simply shrugged his shoulders and she proceeded to give us directions to the spot. We get there and the outside of the building leaves a little something to be desired......however, my sis and I are slightly urban so we realize that you can't judge a book by the cover....THANK GOD because we would've missed some of the best cooking that we've experienced since my great-aunt Betty was putting it down!!! MAAANNNN! What we stumbled on was, in fact, a SOUL FOOD BUFFET! Yup, you heard me....a soul food buffet! This place had everything from three bean salad to oxtails and potatoes! Not unlike most of "us", I'm funny about whose potatoe salad I eat but even that was DA BOMB! There was smothered, baked and fried chicken, liver & onions, roast turkey wings, real dressing, cranberry sauce, collard greens, green beans, homemade mac & cheese, yams.....do I sound real greedy yet??? NO??? Well, the banana pudding was rivaled only by my own and the peach cobbler made me wanna pull out the zip lock bags and get real ghetto (Ki Ki knows what I'm talking about....). To top it all off, they had sweet tea and lemonade!!! All of this only cost $6.95 per person! Needless to say, I scooped up my son the following day and we had Sunday dinner with Mr. Satterwhite and dem....during the week, the choice of music was jazz but on Sunday, you heard everything from the Winans to The Blind Boys of Alabama! It was once of the best dining experiences that I've had in a very long time and I would recommend a visit to this place to anyone that visits the Atlanta area. The only thing that was missing was a cot for the "itis" that immediately set in! |
