Initial impressions of Atlanta
Wed Dec 6 11:22:35 2006 EST (-0500 GMT)The interesting observation I’ve made about Atlanta is that you really feel like you’re doing the wrong thing walking anywhere at any hour of the day. The car is king in the south, and the four lane drive-through bank you can see on the train from the air port signifies this. That said, I do appreciate the level of respect for the car that ensures that 1 in every 100 cars here has been modified to express the owner’s enthusiasm for the vehicle or for spinning chrome.
There isn’t a lot to do that is immediately evident. I’m going to try to swing by CNN headquarters and Olympic Park, but the conference program and the safety and the Atlanta streets make it hard to go very far at night.
The Leafs were here from Toronto on Monday night and got a beating, I don’t want to continue that trend.
