The old-time Atlanta Jewish families go as far back as any Anglos or Scotch-Irish around here.

For years the hoity-toitys up at the Piedmont Driving Club would not admit Jews, so they said the heck with them and started the Standard Club (now CNN's administration building, BTW). The PDC has horses' heads up on the gables of the buildings, and some of my Jewish friends always said, "It's the wrong end of the horse."

I can swear a little in Yiddish myself . . . comes in handy on occasion.

I could never understand. The Piedmont Driving Club had tennis courts and a great supper club. The Standard Club had a golf course. WHO was having more fun? LOL!

The Standard Club (both locations) has always blown the Piedmont Driving Club out of the water.

that reminds me of the unexpurgeated definition of a horseshow:

"HORSESHOW, n., an event where a lot of pretty horses show their @sses to a bunch of horses@sses, that show horses."
