T1B

Going down to visit my parents in their retirement Paradise of somewhere outside of Atlanta. Somebody got the bright idea of having a day at the Falcons new stadium. I seem to recall Willie saying that there were some substandard things about the new stadium. So any tips would be welcome. My parents don't leave their enclave north of the perimeter very often.

That's too bad Sam. I had $15 for you.

At least the bums in ATL don't shit on the street.





Or do they.......?

If you DO do it, however - and you see one approaching you - get up, walk towards them, and then ask THEM for money. It's funny for starters, but they WILL leave you alone.

Is there ANYTHING you're not afraid of?

I've been downtown around the aquarium and Coca Cola Center area and I've been at the MLK site. Not one piece of poop did I have to dodge.

I've walked in San Francisco from SoMa (South of Market), past Union Square, through Chinatown and North Beach to the top of Telegraph Hill (Coit Tower), and then down the steps to Embarcadero and around to Fisherman's Warf and Ghirardelli Square, and then took the cable car back to Union Square without seeing any human feces.

I guess it depends on where you go and what you're looking for. A few blocks up Market Street things can get pretty nasty.

Vista del Mar (Lands End) and the Sunset District are pretty nice as well. I haven't been around the interior neighborhoods too much but they probably keep the streets pretty clean in St Fancis Wood and Forest Hill.

$15 ?

$15 ? That sum seems familiar.

I'm guessing that in Atlanta, being southern gentlemen and all, they politely shit in their pants.

Never seen any shit in Atlanta. At least the bums there are cordial enough to do it off the beaten path. SF bums - well - they're just of shittier ilk, evidently.

I thought the insanely high ATL humidity just caused shit to decompose? Whereas in SF the shit just fossilizes like in a desert.
