I would be proud to be thrown out of any of little 5's fine establishments, although I would demand that it be documented somehow. Maybe a t shirt with "I made a scene at the scene store" or something.
It used be fun 10 years ago, but now it seems to be just ironic hipsters and scene kids. When I worked at the Hot Profit at Town Center (I was bored and needed a laugh) they used to tell mall goths and scene kids about little 5 and how to get there just to make them stop hanging around the store. Atlanta sucks if you don't like rap.
Then again maybe I'm just an old, pissed off rivet.
Oh, I dunno, Neon. I sort of feel like the fun places shift around town as the years go by. Don't have enough free time to investigate though, and 5 points is closest to where I live.
Thanks whuttuf (that's what I'm calling you now cause I like saying it and yay.), I guess I was just feeling a little bitter. I suppose it doesn't suck that much cause I still go down to L5 and excitedly dig around rag-o-rama before scarfing down a texas melt at the vortex (woo fried jalapenos!). I guess we just get used to things and forget how neat they are sometimes.
See, here's the thing - go live in any other Southern town that isn't Atlanta and after about three weeks you will be crawling through broken glass to get back here.
Who else has Baton Bob? Who else has Bicycle Shorts Guy? Who else has I'M PRESSIN CHARGES girl?
This doesn't transcend local tv commercials the way Vern Fonk transcends local tv commercials. And that just means it's a local tv commercial. +2 stars for a face-paint beard (which is terribly difficult to apply, with a beard)
