Little Five Points had a really awesome pizza place that my friend took me to, as well as a place called Junkman's Daughter and Princess Pamela's Tschotchkie Palace.

I really like Atlanta, but the driving is hell. Check out that Whole Foods in Buckhead sometime -- it's like the Super Wal Mart of "holistic" grocery stores, and has a cheese section the size of my living room.

Back when I lived in Boston, I saw this ugly little troll walking ahead of me on Washington Street in Downtown Crossing. Some college kid walked up to it/him, shook his hand and said, "Mr. Dukakis, it's an honor."

He's as tall, or short, as I am (and Robert Reich) -- had to be a five footer. Weird little big headed man.

People are complaining that L5P (as the abbreviation goes) is going yuppy, just because they have a couple "nicer" boutiques now. You see "Keep Little Five Points Weird" stickers on cars and stuff. But there are still enough bums lurking around to keep it "authentic", if you ask me! Junkman's is still great, if you can block out the anti-Bush stuff they stock. *sigh* Who decided punk culture equals "leftist" anyway???? So contradictory....
