Rambling Local Atlanta stuff

You can never go wrong with tacos.

Of all the many times I've driven my Yarius to Follies, for some reason I've never been tempted to check out the surrounding neighborhood. Aside from the fact that it's a shitty neighborhood, why would you want to check out women with their clothes on right next to one of the best strip clubs in the country?

Please note. If you posted this high then never mind. I understand.

John, I actually just went there for something different to eat. I don't know the inside joke but chicken fingers get old. yeah, it is a shitty neighborhood. Back in the day Northlake mall for lunch was nice for people watching and eye candy. Took my mind off of wanting to kill most everyone I worked with.

You can understand how much willpower it takes to not stop there everyday as I drive by at the end of my day?

Last time I was @ Follies in the first week of April I drove up on a Saturday afternoon and was gonna park in the Pep Boys on my left but I overshot it not being familiar w/ the area - I turned into Plaza Fiesta and almost couldn't get out - they had some kind of fair taking up 1/2 the parking lot and it was hell trying to get out once I went in the parking lot to get out again to go park at the Pep Boys (I didn't see a single spot available in the plaza) - I think that plaza only has one way out so it's a PITA even on a good day to try and get out and it was a nightmare on that day - I'm always up for some eye candy and did see a lot of young dark-haired Latinas walking around looking sexy.

w.r.t. insurance - I once read one should switch every 2 years or so - supposedly many carriers will give you a good quote at first to get you as a custy then start jacking up the price with time so then it's time to switch to another carrier that wants to lure you as a new custy - but I've also heard it's bad to go w/ a no-name carrier b/c then the big ones may not want to bring you on.

The neighborhood may be sketch, but some of the best ethnic food in Atlanta exists within a mile in either direction of Follies. I can list 5 places that will blow your mind, after you've blown your load at Follies.

List away or send me a message. McDonalds is old and one shouldn't exist on that road. I eat a Donnie's every now and then, but that stuff is really bad for you. There is a place "First Wok" that is ok. I have not been to the Rusty Nail in a long time. I have been to Havana a few times. I see a few place that are busy on the way home, but they are really on the wrong side of the road. I have still yet to stop and get coffee at a place suggested by I think Shadowcat.

+1 on what Droid said. Buford Highway is a mecca for foodies.
