We moved there from the Seattle area so my dad could go to Chiropractic college.<BR/>Can you say CULTURE SHOCK!?!<BR/><BR/>First off, we could not figure out what everyone meant when they would give us directions like this "ya'all just go to the big chicken and take a right" WHAT?<BR/><BR/>Then there was the day that I was sitting in the lunchroom at school and told some friends that I was going to go outside and get a "pop". They looked at me like I was crazy and then when I came back in with my Sprite, one girl said "oh, you'se gonna have a COKE, not a pop." apparently "pop" meant I was headed out to the druggy corner for a hit of something.<BR/><BR/>And talk about crazy, the first time I went to the Varsity, I ended up not eating because I couldn't order fast enough. Someone should have warned me about that!<BR/><BR/>Fun memories. Atlanta is one of those places that I would love to take my family to visit.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995343913821606086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-25938298279148442592008-06-29T12:30:00.000-04:002008-06-29T12:30:00.000-04:00This just made my day.
