I know there are a BUNCH of folks on this board from TX, MO, OH, KY, AL, PA, Nooga (jeez?), and other places. I'm just curious to see how many SoWal'ers hail (now or formerly) from Atlanta?? I've heard repeatedly that Walton County is the southernmost ATL suburb. It's starting to feel like it... so I'm just checking.

Post a reply if you claim a current or recent ATL connection (not flying through Hartsfield, or lived here in 1979, or dated kimmifunn in ATL one weekend...) ;-)

The thought occurs to me that we don't need to go to SoWal for a SoWal.com get together... See? :D

Oh Atlanta (Little Feat)
-- Bill Payne

They got a place down Kentucky
Right down near Ohio
Where you can watch the planes at night
People line up to watch each flight
I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my red head dream
If I could only see her tonight


Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta!
I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you


Well you can drop me off on Peachtree
I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the women there in Atlanta
They make you awfully glad you come
I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream
If I could only be there tonight


Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta!
I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you


We make a day and how just you and me
But the music plays all night
They got the boogie band blowin' that's bound for hell
And when they get to movin' they never stop
You just keep on playin' that down home beat
You just keep on layin' it down hot

I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinkin' bout my red haired dream
If I could only see her tonight


Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta!
I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you

Can't wait to go back there in two years to go to Emory! Till then I have to hang around MD, no where near as nice in comparison BTW. I have noticed though that a lot of people from Atlanta know about grayton beach.
What's so bad about hanging around MD, I'm usually reasonably nice, a little touched , though I bathe regularly. Seems like you may have caught me on a bad night...?

Anyway, :welcome: tiny dancer!!

Oh, and BTW Atlanta posters, there's a band playing TONIGHT at Jake's Roadhouse. Many on this board know and love the band and I'm sure you may know her screen name, neither of which I'm posting since she would shoot me dead (I'll bet she'll be OK if I buy her a beer ). They are headlining and won't go on 'til around midnight (it's not a school night in GA after all!). Here is a map and all the 411:

Send me a PM if you really must know who the band is... ;-)
